Request indicator values from different chart timeframes and use to send an alert

Hi All,
I am VERY new to pinescript and im trying to set up an alert to trigger each time a group of indicator parameters are met from different time frames on Tradingview.
So far all i have done is make a mess of a script that i tried to modify.
I have added some lines in which i know are not going to work but just wanted to show an idea of what i am trying to achieve.

I just want it to send me an alert on my pc or phone each time the conditions are met for each ticker.

strategy(title=Buy Sell Stategy, shorttitle=Buy Sell Stategy, overlay=true)

// Input
fastMAlen = input(12, minval=1, title=MACD fast moving average)
slowMAlen=input(26,minval=1, title=MACD slow moving average)
signalMACDlen = input(9,minval=1, title=MACD signal line moving average)
StochLength = input(14, minval=1, title=Stochastic Length)
switch=input(true, title=Enable MACD Bar Color?)

// MACD Calculation
1hrMACD = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 60, (syminfo.MACD),
1hrsignalMACD = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 60, (syminfo.signalMACD),
12hrMACD = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 720, (syminfo.MACD),
12hrsignalMACD = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 720, (syminfo.signalMACD),
MACD = ema(close, fastMAlen) - ema(close, slowMAlen)
signalMACD = ema(MACD, signalMACDlen)
delta = MACD - signalMACD
fastMA = ema(close,fastMAlen)
slowMA = ema(close,slowMAlen)

// Stochastic Calculation
1hrsmoothK = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 60, (syminfo.smoothK)[1],
1hrsmoothD = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 60, (syminfo.smoothD)[1],
4hrsmoothK = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 240, (syminfo.smoothK)[1],
4hrsmoothD = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 240, (syminfo.smoothD)[1],
12hrsmoothK = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 720, (syminfo.smoothK)[1],
12hrsmoothK = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 720, (syminfo.smoothD)[1],
smoothK = input(3, title=Smoothing of Stochastic %K)
smoothD = input(3, title=Moving Average of Stochastic %K)
k = sma(stoch(close, high, low, StochLength), smoothK)
d = sma(k, smoothD)

//RSI Calculation
xRSI = rsi(close, 10)

// Colors
bartrendcolor = 1hrMACD > 1hrsignalMACD and 4hrsmoothK > 4hrsmoothD and 12hrMACD > 12hrsignalMACD and 12hrsmoothK > 12hrsmoothD? lime : MACD < signalMACD and k < d and xRSI < 50? red : MACD < signalMACD? yellow : gray

barcolor(switch?bartrendcolor:na)

// === STRATEGY ===
// conditions

calc_on_every_tick
longCond = 1hrMACD > 1hrsignalMACD and 4hrsmoothK > 4hrsmoothD and 12hrMACD > 12hrsignalMACD and 12hrsmoothK > 12hrsmoothD
shortCond = (charttimeframe = (60) k < d)

strategy.entry(long, strategy.long, when=longCond==true)
strategy.close(long, when=shortCond==true)

// === /STRATEGY ===

Thanks for any help

Hi Juz

I'm not very clear on what's working vs not working with your script
Though, with the request.security function, if you're requesting a previous historical value using the [1] operator, you have to use the lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on parameter

Documentation: https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-reference/v5/#fun_request{dot}security

2/ I think there is one missing parenthesis for all the lines like this where you're calling the request.security function

Should be like this

1hrsmoothK = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 60, syminfo.smoothK[1], barmerge.gaps_off, barmerge.lookahead_on)

Hi Dave, thanks for the reply
I have changed the requests to look like above.
I am trying to get different variables from different time charts and then combine the outcome to trigger an alert, problem is that if I request macd and signal from 2 different timeframes im not sure how to name them in order to get the information and use it.
If i rename them as below then i get the following error, but if i dont rename them 1hrmacd etc then im not sure how i can use 2 different timeframe macd inputs to trigger the alert

Compilation error. Line 15: no viable alternative at input '1'

1hrMACD = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 60, syminfo.MACD[1], barmerge.gaps_off, barmerge.lookahead_on)
1hrsignalMACD = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 60, syminfo.signalMACD[1], barmerge.gaps_off, barmerge.lookahead_on)
12hrMACD = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 720, syminfo.MACD[1], barmerge.gaps_off, barmerge.lookahead_on)
12hrsignalMACD = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol) =>
request.security(symbol, 720, syminfo.signalMACD[1], barmerge.gaps_off, barmerge.lookahead_on)
MACD = ema(close, fastMAlen) - ema(close, slowMAlen)
signalMACD = ema(MACD, signalMACDlen)

i also tried it this way

MACD = GetTickValueSymbol(symbol)
request.security(symbol, 60, syminfo.MACD[1], barmerge.gaps_off, barmerge.lookahead_on)

which seems to work but then when i try to set conditions like below i get a no viable input for macd

longCond = MACD 60 > signalMACD 60 and smoothK 240 > smoothD
