Gary, You actually don't need Alert() for a one-day condition. The Cross() should catch it alone with the indicator/trigger order Dick stated. Alert is used to hold a true result for a set period of time. With Alert(,0) it's actually not doing anything but reading the Cross() result for the most recent day. If you intend for this condition to be the first step in a sequence of events that might take a few days to unfold for example you'd extend the alert 3 days with Alert(*,3).
