How To Create an EMA Touch Alert?

I’ve found with numerous backtests that a pullback to the 50 EMA (Exponential Moving Average) has a high probability of reversing to the long-side. When I see this move, I ALWAYS buy. Waiting for this to happen, if ever, on short timeframes (1 minute), can be emotionally exhausting. I’m a day trader, and I will literally sit for hours and hours waiting for this setup. An alert would be ideal.

Pete, do you know how to create an alert when price pulls back to a moving average line?

Is there a way to put an offset function to this? For example, I want to be notified when the distance between 50MA and price is 5% of price. (Gives me some time to prepare instead of reacting when price hits a moving average.) is it something that I would have to code? Thanks!!
