Need help to add an e-mail alert for this indicator

Hi All,
I need help with a simple MQL script. It is probably going to take only 3 lines of coding, but since I do not have much experience with Metatrader programming I cannot do it myself. I want to add e-mail alerts to an indicator or have a separate coding script/EA to generate the e-mail alert. I am attaching the TMA indicator which is basically an MA envelop indicator with a center MA and one upper and one lower band.

If someone please code a simple EA where script will generate an e-mail alert when center TMA line is above 240 EMA (smoothed) and price has crossed below the lower TMA band.

And it would generate an e-mail alert when 240 EMA (smoothed) is above center center TMA line and price has crossed above the upper TMA band.

I'd appreciate any hints or line of codes to achieve this.

Make yourself an expert.

Check the manpage for

- iCustom (TMA values)
- iMA ( 240 EMA values)

Fetch your indicator values with those 2 and then check manpage for

- SendMail


Write a couple ifs to check your conditions -> if they match -> SendMail.

Do this on the last closed candle or use e.g. GlobalVariableSet to set a temp value with the last time an alert was sent + if not enough time has passed dont send a new one (in case you alert on price action which could trigger like 100 alerts in one candle)

Alright, I figured out how to do it in the indicator itself.

Thanks for this suggestion but now I am having exact same problem; too many alerts within a short time period. I want to configure the EA where it sends an alert only if 10 hours has passed since last alert.

Can someone help me with an example of such a code that I can add to my script?

This has been clipped togeteher from something else so it will not run as listed but should give you some idea on how to proceed:
PHP Code
extern int Alert.Timeout=60; // Deactivate alerts for N seconds after an alert
                              // Only when Alert.NewBarOnly=false
extern bool Alert.Popup=true; // Popup window & sound on alert
extern bool Alert.Email=false; // Send email on alert
.
.
.
void AlertCheck() {
  string sAlertMsg;
  static int iAlertTimer;  

  if (!Alert.NewBarOnly && iAlertTimer<GetTickCount())) {
    iAlertTimer=GetTickCount()+Alert.Timeout*1000;
    sAlertMsg="My Alert - "+Symbol()+" "+TF2Str(Period())+": Alert Bla bla .";
    if (Alert.Popup) Alert(sAlertMsg);      
    if (Alert.Email) SendMail( sAlertMsg, "MT4 Alert!n" + 
                       TimeToStr(TIME_DATE|TIME_SECONDS )+"n"+sAlertMsg);

}
See this indicator for a working example:

Hi guys, does anyone know of a SMA cross over email alert that sends alert after the price has CLOSED after "crossing" an SMA of 20. hopefully the email alert will allow for the SMA to be adjustable as needed. So hard to find. Any help would be awesome.

Please I need Email notification to work in the script attached. The alert function is working but SendMail () is not properly done.

I really need help to make the email work.

Thanks.
