Pips To MA Alert - Dashboard

This is a new indicator very similar to the Pips2MA alert indicator that I put together a year ago (see link). This is a dashboard version to monitor multiple pairs.
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...22#post5973322

The inputs are:
AlertPips - the distance in pips from the MA at which to alert. One alert is sent per bar.
AlertBarsSkip - the number of bars to skip before sending another alert.
MAperiods=10; // MAperiods - the number of periods to be used by the MA calculation.
MAmethod="E"; // MAmethod - the method to be used for the MA calculation ('S', 'W', 'E', 'M').
MAapply="C"; // MAapply - the price type to be used for the MA calculation ('M', 'T', 'O', 'W', 'C', 'H', 'L').
MAshift=0; // MAshift - the number of periods for the MA shift calculation. MATimeFrame - this is the TF for the calculation of the MA and is usually set to 0 which means to use the chart's TF.
DBDisplay - to turn off the dashboard and only get alerts, set to false.
MailAlert - set to true to receive emails. This option only works if the platform is properly configured for email.
SendAlert - set to false to suppress alerts and use the dashboard only.
CurrencySuffix - supply the currency suffix, if your broker has appended a lower case letter like "r" to the symbol.

You can change the colour scheme of the dashboard to suit your chart; these are the inputs and defaults:
LabelColr=Ivory; InAlertZone=Aqua; OutAlertZone=Magenta;

The currency pairs to be monitored can be selected from the list and in addition there are 4 fields for other pairs of your choice. A maximum of 15 pairs can be monitored.

This thread is for topics related to this indicator only. A few guidelines to follow:
1. Please report bugs. Please explain how it happened and the steps to follow to recreate it. If I can't recreate it, I can't fix it. Include screen shots if necessary.
2. You can request enhancements. In all likelihood they will not be implemented unless I feel they are appropriate for the intended purpose of the indicator and are beneficial to others.
3. You cannot ask coding questions on this thread.
4. You cannot post anything I deem off topic.
5. You cannot PM me. If it is not important enough to discuss in a public forum, it is not important enough for me to respond.


The dashboard can be installed on any pair's chart for any timeframe. The chart's TF can be overridden in the settings. Once installed it should look something like the image.

Thank you for this CodeMeister.
Just put it on and will be watching to see how it acts on seven of your prefigured CurPairs and one added by me.
Looks so far like you thought of everything.
I appreciate your time and effort.

an enhancement may be to show the value(s) of the ma being used.

Hi CodeMeister,

Many thanks for your indicator. This dashboard can help me not to glue to the monitor.
Howover, I'm a bit confused with the options.
If I want to use Linear Weighted as the MAmethod, which one should I choose? ('S', 'W', 'E', 'M')?
Also for the MAapply, I want to use Weighted Close, which one should I choose? ('M', 'T', 'O', 'C', 'H', 'L')?
Thanks in advance....

Hi CodeMeister,
thanks for the indi.
Question: Would it be possible to define an interface so that adapted external indicators could feed the dashboard with data?
I'm thinking of displaying pips away from next support/resistance for example.
The external indicator could either hand over the actual supp/res or the actual distance(s)
Been to lazy to code it myself so far because of the dashboard functionality

W = Linear Weighted

I neglected to include a Weighted Close option - I will try to get it done this weekend.

This is Hayseed's answer to your suggestion. I have never explored it myself, but I believe it requires some coding skills.

Thanks for your fast response. Look forward to having the Weighted close option....

New version in post #1. W = Weighted Close

CodeMeister, many thanks for your kind attention and help.....

Hello, thanks for you effort,
I'm using "Hector Price action", "Trend Analyser" it give us a perfect trend on multiple TF dashboard. Is it possible, if the your "Pips to MA" alert triggers only upon "Trend Analyser" On/Off signal and for specific pairs.
If interested I can send you the "Trend Analyser"
Thank you.

Hi CodeMeister,

i loaded the dashboard but only EURUSD has an indicator, the rest of the currencies are all blank.

any help?

Its been a long time since I worked on this one. I don't remember having a problem like that, but I am wondering if you are loading it onto a chart while the market is closed. I seem to recall that it didn't work until ticks started arriving.

What I suggest is to delete it from your chart, wait until the markets open again and then attach it again. Don't change any default settings until it is working. The defaults work fine to the best of my recollection, although they may give the results you want.

Got it. Could you add bollinger bands to dashboard as well?

I like to keep my code simple and not have a lot of options.

CodeMeister can you make it EA base on this indicator ... plz hehehhe

Could this dashboard be made to have all timeframes showing at the same time?

If it could be put in the chart area, then could also have mulitple moving averages on one chart as well.

Thanks

Thx for the dash.

Few requests:
1. How could I add the gold? When I write `GOLD_f` in OTHER CURRENCY the DB becomes blank.
2. I want to add more pairs. How could I do it? See pic.
3. I want to add more products like gold and some indexes that are not pairs.

Is in post #1. Be sure to fill in the CurrencySuffix field.

Thanks for the indicator, Can you input a code that it plays a sound for example a MP3 file when price is x pips near the MA?
