The ways a SwingAlerts alert compares two numbers

The left side is greater than the right.

The left side is less than the right.

Greater than, and touching the level counts.

Less than, and touching the level counts.

Equal — and on a price, almost never what you want.

Prices carry more decimal places than they show, so an exact match will usually miss. Reach for "is at or above" and "is at or below" instead.

Not equal.

The moment one line passes through another. Happens once, then it is over.

A crossing is an event, not a state. It is true on exactly one candle — the one where the two swapped places — so it can start an alert, but it can never be the thing that stays true for two hours. That is why the app offers it under "Trigger when" and nowhere else.

“I care about the turn, not the position.”
