I'm not sure where you got this information, I wasn't able to find it in that Help entry. As far as I know, and logic dictates that also, that alerts (whatever kind) are triggered when the script calculates, either on every tick or at the close of the bar. For that calculation to take place, MC needs to be open, data needs to be streaming, and the computer needs to be on.

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Here is the script for the MA 1 line. You can see under what conditions the alert takes place.
With access to PLE you can change these conditions. With using MCDT you can influence the condition only by changing the inputs that make up the average.

Wishful thinking on my part? And maybe based upon some assumptions...
Within the info provided by MC on email alerts, it states that users can stay informed regarding mkt conditions even while away from the computer.
I realize that it does not say computer on, MC workspace open...
However, earlier in the alerts description, it states that alert checking is performed when one of the following occurs, which to me means an "or" condition. One is that the workspace is opened... Doesn't sound like it would be required...
When a tree falls in the forest and no one is present, does it make a noise? Sort of the same here I guess. Bars are closing, just not on that person's MC, if it's not open... But the mkt action is happening.
Email alerts are most likely not going to interest the futures trader much, I understand. For those doing stock and options, there will be more interest.
What about daily alerts, based upon EOD data? For example, if the SPY closes at or below its 200 daily EMA, it would be nice to get an email. It is helpful to have such reminders when on travel or just too busy...
If this is possible now, that would be great. Alerts, email alerts and mobile ones in particular, can offer the most when one is away from their MC computers, their house even, on the road but would like to act on the news, which would entail getting to such a computer, turning it on...
ToS is able to do this, so it is possible and it would be fantastic if MC would take it to the next level.
In the MultiCharts 7 and MCDT webinar on this site, around 31 minutes, Stan clicks on a reserved word and in the Help window the related help is displayed. Quite a time saver! Does someone know how he does that? Perhaps it's a new MC7 feature, because in MC6 I can't bring up the help by clicking on a reserved word.
Not complete what I meant, but it still gave me the answer. Thanks Mike!
As far as I can tell, what Stan meant in the presentation with clicking was first click on a reserved word, (so that the '|' is in the word) and then pressing F1 brings up the Help entry file. No more need to browse through the 'Keyword Alphabetical Index'.
