If it is possible to do, would someone please tell me how I can set up an AUDIO ALERT for when two moving averages cross each other on the MT4.

Thank you,

I hope you're talking about this indicator, MA Crossover Alert. I have attached it anyway.
Sound is on by default. You only need to set up your moving averages' type (sma, ema, wma), period (this one has 5 and 20 by default, they are my favorites), and price mode (in this case, close price is default).
Good luck.

P.S. If you need help setting up the parameters, PM me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I tried this indicator and it does NOT alert me at the right time. I am wanting the indicator to alert me when my EMA 10 and EMA 62 cross each other but this indicator is alerting some time before or after the cross has taken place.

I have tried different settings and still cannot get it right.... Any suggestions????

Here's a ea i made using a strategy builder, the code's included so perhaps you can use it as a guide? the MA's themselves (in this ea) do not cross often as its a long term trading strategy, but i perhaps it's still of some help.

Dear Scrat,

MA Crossover Alert working fine with MetaTrader, if you had made the code MA Crossover Audio Alert please herewith i am requsting you to add coding for following Metastock Formula (Resistance and Support-Indicator)

--------------------------------------------------
LookBack := Input("Look Back Periods",1,1000,10);
Resistance :=ValueWhen(1,Cross(Mov(C, LookBack,
S),C),HHV(H, LookBack));
Support :=ValueWhen(1,Cross(C,Mov(C, LookBack,
S)),LLV(L, LookBack));
Resistance;
Support;
--------------------------------------------------

I Need The Audio Alert with Popup Window showing Name of the Symbol & Price when crossed Bar at Resistance OR Support Line for the opened Symbol files with attach to said indicator.

MetaStock Professional Version 11.0 Application
Thank you,
Anush

Under "Common" Tab should DLL imports be allowed?

Under "Inputs" what should I choose if I am looking to be alerted when EMA5 crosses EMA10 on the H1 chart in either direction.

The choices are :

FastMA_Mode Default 1
FastMA_Period Default 5
FastPriceMode Default 0
SlowMA_Mode Default 1
SlowMA_Period Default 20
SlowMA_Mode Default 0

Any and all help gratefully appreciated

I played around with the settings (still dont know what they mean, but playing never hurts).

On the attached chart the 5 and 10 Moving Averages are the crosses I like to trade, the Blue is MA25, Red MA150 and While MA365 which are used are resistance / support level of caution.

I set the indicator as :
FastMA_Period = 2
SlowMA_Period = 9
and with every thing else set at zero, I get indicator arrows pretty close to my 5 and 10 MA crosses.

Still would like to know how to do it properly, but thought I would share this anyway!

Can your indicator alert you when the price closes after passing a set MA. ?
Eg. i want to be alerted when prices crosses the MA of 10.

In MT4, right click the indicator go to modify, this will launch the meta editor. Check the following settings.

extern bool SoundON=true;
extern bool EmailON=true;

Now if you the email setting is useful, especially if you want notificatios on your phone. To finish setting this up go to :

Tools > Options > Email

and checkmark "Enable", then :

1. Enter the SMTP server address of your ISP
2. Enter a from line, this doesn't have to be a real email address I use [email protected] which doesnt exist.
3. Enter your phone "email to txt" email address for my cell provider this is :
[email protected] check with your cell provider what this should be in your case. Ofcourse if you have a smart phone this can be your regular email address.

This indicator is only useful for alerting at an MA cross, ie when MA 10 is crossed by another MA, it is not designed to alert when price crosses an MA.

Let me get this right... you want the price level at a MA cross to be visually displayed?

In its current format this indicator will not do that, however why would this be critical since as far as I can tell the usefulness is to alert you of a developing trend at which point I would hope you do some chat analysis before diving into a trade. Visually seeing the price at the cross seems quite redundant.

Hi plus50, thanks for replying.

With what I'm asking, I'm scalping, using the momentum of the MA cross on a smaller time frame and manually entering my trades on my broker platform. So it would be great to see the exact price at which the MA 'finished' crossing so it would save some time to get an order in.

EDIT: I mean just the last MA cross to be displayed, not every MA cross
