Does anyone here know how to program Email Alert for EMA crossover in MT4 ?

I am looking 1 hr chart for price crossover 34 EMA + 3 pips = Email Alert.

Any expert here can help with MT4 programming ?

Thanks.
The future depends on what we do in the present.
As mt4 looks a C derivated language to me (I didnt use it , just saw 5 minutes), I believe , I hope.., you can add includes files (with SMTP PROTOCOL) to send emails.
Build smtp functions by yourself , especially if you don't have socks functions, is too hard.
First understand if you can include external libraries, if yes, look on internet, there plenty of smtp-pop3 libraries
Good luck
I think you can.

I just saw in opne include script the import function for external DLL libraries.
So you must look on the internet for DLL SMTP/POP3 libraries, include this into your project and use internat functions of this library to send emails
EXAMPLE:


import "user32.dll"


void keybd_event(int bVk,int bScan,int dwFlags,int dwExtraInfo);
int SendMessageA(int hWnd,int Msg,int wParam,int lParam);
int SendNotifyMessageA(int hWnd,int Msg,int wParam,int lParam);


first you import, then you decleare the internal functions of that dll file to use the functions into your script.

(this dll is not for mails)

Try hard, think fast, die young
MT4 already has a command for sending an e-mail.

SendMail()

It'll send a message to the e-mail address specified in your MT4 preferences:-

SendMail("From your MA Crossover Expert", "MA3 has Crossed Over MA4 Blah Blah" );

I installed now metaquotes metatrader 4.0

Do you know once you made your script in your edit section, and you compiled, how you run it ?!
I mean, how is activated ?

Thanks!
That's so awesome..

All you need to do is:
Alarm -> Email -> PDA and you've got a mobile trading system
google:

Yeah , I actually started to make a quick EA for you last night but when I realised I needed to filter it from triggering too often I stopped. Was too tired . LOL

You could check that the price was the OPPOSITE side of your trigger side the last bar ago. Or maybe was the otherside for the last 2 or more conesuctive bars or something to allow for the occasional tight whip-saw. You might have to play with it a little to see what works best.

Yeah, I brain stormed on that when I read it. You could even trade your MetaTrade by SMS if you created a .DLL that you have watching for return messages. Good shit!

Would be a little work though.

For example I have my PAP signals going to Yahoo, which allows alerts to SMS based on filters.
I've done the same for my MetaTrade alerts. Anything coming from my home e-mail address to my yahoo one forwards on.

I can set alert levels and go outside or shopping or whatever.
Or even long term support/resistance breaks on currency pairs I aint watching closely.
i.e I received an SMS yesterday containing an alert that told me my trade had hit a Pivot line I expected a possible reversal at.

I'ma luvin' it!!

Maybe somebody has an Stochastic and RSI alert system ?

Im trying to understand it but I cant really get it.

I was looking into the Stochastic indicator script.

Thanks!

Try these changes dude.

All additions in coloured text. Nothing has been removed.

I haven't tested this, but should be straight forward. Should put you on the right path at least. Probably don't need to check previous MAs now either. LOL.

Since the Start() routine is called every tick, you may still get mutiple alerts if the current bar oscillates around the cross-over trigger values.

For me, I'd still be keen to test the previous bar for the crossover and ignore the current "working" bar. On average I would think this wouldn't lower potential profits significantly. It maybe more important to keep false/premature alerts at bay.

...Or check the previous bar , but make tentative decisions in the working bar. i.e. if the EMA has moved more than a certain pip count past the cross.

All's fun playing.

Cheers,
Bundy

In the MetaEditor, if you have the Navigator window open you'll find the built in indicator fiunctions in the MQL4 Reference. In the dictionary section, under Technical Indicators.

iStochastic() & iRSI() be what ya need.

Hi bundyraider,

thanks for hint.
I tryed already, works, just its funny cause my broker indicators (rsi and stoch slow) with same configurarion, have different values on metatrader...., so I cant apply an alert system because with metatrader im complitly lost in the signal he gives me! i guess the price moves much more with metatrader..and this is confusing. I prefer brokers which put a kind of price fiilters in their system to have it a bit more smooth

Thanks!

Hi bundyraider,

I got some compile errors. How can i resolve it ? It seems like the changes are not recognisable variables.
