I’m on USTech 100 £1 per point and spread is 2 points so it can’t be the spread … unless there is a rogue 10 in there somewhere multiplying it all up!?
The Alert function has decided to work on the ‘next bar’ even though I have selected ‘current bar’.
Alert sound always used to sound as soon as price crossed the alert line … now there is no sound until the next bar opens (after price crossed the alert line).

Always ? … I recall it always has been late and sounds at the next bar. Well, that is from what I have read in here as complaints often; I don’t use alarms.
And about selecting (current bar or “later” hence next bar) … why would anyone ever select At Next Bar ?
Assumed I am correct and that this always has been so : consider the impossibility of it (working in-bar) because it will be a local event (on your PC) and not on the server. Also it won’t work like an indicator (which also operates locally and works at the tick level).
This is by guestimate of how it works !
No the Alert function used to work on current bar.
I use Alerts loads for when manual trading and doing something else within hearing distance of the PC … either for an Alert that price has dropped / risen to a fib retrace point or reached a level where I am in or out etc.
I just set up another Alert up and when price crossed over the Alert line … the alarm icon appeared under the 19:00 bar and the Alert alarm immediately sounded … just like Alerts are supposed to work!
Submarine cables SEA-ME-WE 5 and AAE-1 are offline as a heads up to Australian users of PRT,
so if you’re having ‘v/slow-to-no-access’ it could be related.
If you’re heading out via Sydney to NA first and not Perth then onto EU via SG for example – you could have dodged a bullet – happy days.
