Looking for a EMA crossed alert set up

I am new to forex and this forum too. I know that Forexfactory forumers can be very helpful so I hope someone will help me with this one.

I am in the process of preparing my strategy to this forum but intend to make it better by having an alert too.

I am looking for a mq4 file that can alert me whenever 2 moving averages crossed.
The moving averages are :-
a) 18 Exp Close
b) 28 Exp Close

I have tried learning to programe metatrader, but its not easy especially to someone like me.
Hope somebody will help fast.
Thanks again and happy trading.

Here's one.

It's the original Codersguru "Crossed Alerts" with the constant sounding alert problem fixed.

You can configure it to the EMAs you wish and also set notify to "false" if you don't want it to sound.

I also include the original file if you need to check and eventually use it for changes.

Thanks so much for your help carollie
Hope this is not too much to ask for again.
I am also trying to find out how metatrader can alert me by email when the ema crossed.
I have been trying with other indicators that can do email alert but fail. I guess the problem is in configurating metatrader option > tools > email which i am not succeding.
Hope you can help me please

Does it have to be MetaTrader? You could use alertfx.com, and have a signal sent to your cellphone when you get a cross.

You have to find out what is the SMPT server of your mail service and which port it uses.

An example (non-existant) below supposing you're using aol.com as mailserver:

SMPT server = mail.aol.com:25
SMPT login = yourmaillogin @ aol.com
SMPT password = your access mail password
From = the mail address that you want to appear as sender - some mailservers automatically put the same address though
To = The address where you want the alert mails to be sent


For the code:
You can declare a variable to enable or disable the sending of mail when the conditions are met (though you could also do this directly in the options menu instead)

Then in the part where the condition is described for the alert, you will add a line:

That would give = "EMA Cross Alert GBPUSD 1.9570" for example.

You can specify any additional text or format for the mail content.
If you are not using the variable, the "if (Signal Mail)" part doesn't apply.

Mailbox can be configured to redirect to cellphone's SMS mailserver.
It seems he is using Metatrader so maybe the prices and indicators of another platform wouldn't match?
