Notify on TP / SL

All of the above can be combined with custom jump marks in ifnone / iffound options, further also the lock and lockcheck commands can be used to place/check for custom made-up symbol names to basically have custom variables that can be set and checked (eg. “flip flop” logic etc.)

# if it's saturday (6) or sunday (0) → skip rest of the alert
[if weekday=6 or weekday=0] abort [end]
 
# rest of the alert… 

# if it's before 6am or after 6pm → skip rest of the alert
[if time <= 600 or time >= 1800] abort [end]
 
# rest of the alert… 

Note: Time based “ignoring” of alerts can also be achieved using the Schedule option for PV alerts!

Spot market (in this example Binance / NEOBTC)

exchange=binance symbol=NEOBTC
updatebalance side=sell maxbalance=0 iferror=balancePositive
# Note: Use side=buy to check the base currency (in this case BTC)
 
:balanceNegativeOrZero
# we have 0 or less balance of NEO
abort
 
:balancePositive
# we have greater 0 balance of NEO

Margin trading (in this example Bybit / BTCUSDT)

exchange=bybit-testnet symbol=btcusdt
 
# if we have less than 200 (in this case usdt) balance, abort
updatebalance minbalance=200 iferror=abort
 
# otherwise (more than 200 usdt) continue here… 

To check for relative amount of free balance (free margin):

exchange=binanceft-testnet symbol=btcusdt
 
# if we have less than half of the total margin balance available free, cancel all orders and abort
updatebalance minbalance=50% iferror=cancelall
 
# otherwise (more than 50% balance free) continue here… 

Note: Depending on the exchange/market you might have to specify the correct symbol depending on which asset balance you want to check!
