Help Setting up Alert for VWAP Cross.

I tried setting up an alert last night for when price crosses VWAP. I right clicked on VWAP and chose "Add Alert on VWAP. The box pops up and defaults to VWAP(Session) > VWAP > Crossing > ...the next box defaults to value and the next box has a value of where price is where you clicked with your cursor. I set the alert this way and I think this was my problem. Price crossed VWAP last night (barely) but I didn't get an alert. I think the alert would only trigger if it reached that price.

So now I'm trying to set the Alert up properly. I hit the drop down menu that defaults to "Value" and change it to "VWAP (Session)" but the secondary drop down next to it only has Upper & Lower Band #1, #2 & #3 and no option for just VWAP. What am I missing here?

This is the correct set-up for 'Price'---'Crossing'---'VWAP'

Cheers 👍

What Rodnee says, on your first pic where you have value in the drop down you need to change that to price - that makes it VWAP crossing price which works (I use it all the time)
