I just noticed a similar thread is already up for the same question here.
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=92984
I would delete this thread if I could. Please post replys there if you have any ideas on fixing this issue.
Can anyone figure out why the email function of this indicator is not working? I have the options set to true for email and signal. The signal function is working great but no email is sent.
I do have the email tab set up in options and am able to recieve test emails as well as well as MT4 price alert emails so I know the email tab is filled out correctly.
Thanks for any help you can provide. This is the only Moving Cross indicator I've found that only signals once on the close of a cross.
