ALSTOkMTFMAPrice multiple similar indicators have the same documentation as they differ only in the number of STO or/and MA.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: ALopBarTouchMaZone (ALERT Chart Bar touches the MA Zone (Zone between (incl MA themself) two MA's)
Is a MTF ALERT indicator with multiple STO and multiple MA. If enabled the MA lines can be plotted - the STOk Lines can not be plotted at all as it uses the chart window.
ALERT OPTION: This is a combined alerter using three separate parts (each can be separately enabled but at least two parts must be used)
- STOk Direction:
- MA Order:
- MA Touch Price:
- UP:
- STOk Direction: ALL MTF STOk point up.
- MA Order: ALL MA are stacked in order: MA1 higher than M2 ect..
- MA Touch Price: enabled MA touches the Price (or is within an additional defined distance to the Price) (Can be disabled to make the Alerter also useful for only the other two combinations)
- DOWN:
- STOk Direction: ALL MTF STOk point down.
- MA Order: ALL MA are stacked in order: MA1 lower than M2 ect..
- MA Touch Price: enabled MA touches the Price (or is within an additional defined distance to the Price)
- IMPORTANT NOTE: because this mixes 3 different Alerts one has to make some adjustments the time tag (bVLineAlert and bWriteFileAlert mainly effected.)
- it does not really effect the correct Time when an Alert is triggered - only where VLines are plotted
- As the STOk Direction and the MA Order are both using the same bar time to display their alert I settled for this:
- VLines are plotted at the bar of the Correct STOk Direction and MA Order and 1 bar after the MA touches Price. (but at the correct time when it happens)
- it does not really effect the correct Time when an Alert is triggered - only where VLines are plotted
COMPARE TO OTHER INDICATORS: it can not so easily be compared with any other standard indicators. Especially because it mixes a number of Alerts and additionally ueses some MTF aspects.
- but with a combination of my other indicators it can be checked manually.

(Might fill up your harddisk if not watched) Files are created in MT4:" experts/files: (Notes: Files can only be opened in the terminal_directory\experts\files folder (terminal_directory\tester\files if for expert testing) or in its subfolders)."
- this is a .csv file which can also be opened in excel or such for easy columns access.
*bVLineAlert: If there is an valid Alert: create a VLine on the Chart Bar (Note in case more than one Alert happens we only update the VLine: this means in case an indicator uses different colors fo up and Down Signals only te last one will be recognizable with VLines.

*iAlertVLineSubWindowNum: Index of the window where the object will be added. Window index must exceed or equal to 0 and be less than WindowsTotal(). 0 is main chart window.
- Can be used to plot also only in one SubWindow. One can use it also as kind of Bar Histogram using an empty SubWindow indicator: (my version: EmptySubWindow) to plot too.
dMAPricePipDistance: The distance in pips: How close the SMA must be to the current price
- 0 means the SMA must touch the Price exactely.
