Can anyone help me create a custom alert where when chart shows certain % such as 200% on the footprint, it creates an alert?

Percentage of what?

Alerts attached to a horizontal price level require an absolute value (the price level).
Alerts attached to a trend line use the price level of the trend line at the point trend line is crossed.

What might work is to create a moving average (20-bar, 50-bar, etc), and then in the signals tab of that MA enable "show alert" for when price crosses the MA curve. If you select the 200-bar MA it would only alert you for the largest moves (eg. that reach the 200-bar MA).

Ah, understood. Volume Imprint (Footprint) has a signals tab as well, but not sure if any of the signals there have what you're looking for.

I tried to do the same thing and found it was not possible to do this... I had Daniel from Trading Indicators edit the code for me for this specific reason....

Are you running the Professional Version of MW by any chance?

Yes i have the professional version. I've looked inside out the web and like you stated, seems not possible. Not even possivvle for Sierra Charts or Ninjatrader.

I would be willing to share what Daniel made for me with you - It requires the professional version for it to be able to work (Which is why I asked).

It can create an alert / signal based on the imbalance study just like you were looking for.... I am not surer if you can combine it with a particular price however. It might be something that could be put together with the advanced alerts though.

If you are interested send me a PM here and I can get it to you via E-Mail.

How do you like that alert? Do you use it often? Wondering if that can be combined within a range of price like a zone or something like that? hmmm.
