no ... with your pattern it will send out alerts all the time since
the pattern matches always ... the trick with the patterns is that
you make them so that they only match when the condition starts to
occure ... so in your case the interesting ting is if you have

loss ... no-loss ... loss ... no-loss ... loss

in your test you are only testing

loss ... loss ... loss
