Thanks, at least now I know I wasn't doing something wrong - I already use the "normal" 5 minute opening range break in another window but thanks for the tip.
"They don't go off unless QQQQ or SPY cooperate. And those two are often quite similar."
This could be a good jumping off point to new alerts, for instance, new stock highs could be filtered to only go off when the above is true also (power high?).
