Check out this page:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/StudyChartAlertsAndScanning.php

A crossover alert example woul,d be:
=CROSSOVER(SG1, C)
SG=subgraph and C = the price. And then you can just play around with what you want like bar touch, on bar close etc.

Something like this?
I change the SG to SG2 because it's chart #2?
Sorry, coding is like foreign language to me.

If its just a price alert then maybe try something like:

=C > 134.280

So if close is greater than that price level on ej then give the alert.
