DIY nonprogrammers : Add alert to indicator

Hi all,

In this thread we will see how to create alerts for indicators.

Method allows working both with Embedded and (most of) Custom Indicators.

Used utility, can be downloaded free from https://mq4build.com

The first video shows defining condition when the indicator buffer change direction.

I used the installer from your website. Do I need to download and copy HistoryProcess.ex4 to the library?

I prepare a version with professional installer.

Before that, use this installer. It will place all the libraries as needed.

Thank you. It worked.

Good. Now you can play to make another conditions, same way. The utility will make conditions for:
- indicators or level crossing
- indicators change color or appear / dissapear
- indicator signals - arrows etc. if they are defined as buffers. Graphical symbols are not recognized.
- turn up / turn down you know.

You can use Custom Indicators. Some exotics cannot be captured but with most correctly written indicators the trick will work.

Here is unfinished documentation. I still miss some parts but the reference chapter covers all the elements and how to use them.

Best

Good day
would it be possible to add an alert to this indictor when price crosses the zero line and send the alert after the first bar is formed. In this file is called XB4 it’s a oscillator. Would like to get an alert when price crosses zero line and sends alert after the first bar is printed.

The video made it very easier to learn how to add alerts to the indicators. Thanks for sharing it.
