{quote} Hey CJA, Always appreciative of your willingness to help and your great coding skills. Thank you very much And no problem on the alert, another project for another time God bless my Brother
The only thing to consider when using the Alerts is if you only display for example M5/M15/H1 then to use the Alerts for those 3 time frames you must activate the first 3 Alert activation inputs. NOTE: You must also set the input "Number of Timeframes in Display " to 3 in this example.

This example shows the inputs required to display 4 time frames and Alerts on 3 of those time frames.

Hi cja, thanks so much on this MA MTF Alert, this indi is great. Could you please kindly add another push alert so that my mobile MT4 can be notified promptly ? It is very tiring sitting in front of PC for the whole day. Mobile alert will save my energy ... (sorry cja, pls ignore this paragraph's request, only after a few hours I received push notification)

Secondly, at the moment MA is crossing, the MA keeps on moving up and down, and the alert keeps on alerting and annoying. Could you pls help to add a delay minutes for the next alert to avoid too frequent alerts.

Hope you can help, thanks.

Updated the Alert code, I have not had time to thoroughly test it but it appears to be working.

Hi CJA, I think the delay function is working well. However, I encountered another problem. The MA MTF indicator used up a lot of CPU memory. If I load the indicator to every chart, the whole MT4 get hang and corrupted. Kindly check whether it is due to coding issue, thanks.

I used an update ( this is exactly the same code in the previous version so the CPU usage should not have changed ) in the code to make sure everything updated in real time so I guess if you are going to load it on every pair it is certainly going to give the computer CPU a hard time. I am currently away from my data base for the next 4 weeks so cannot do anything at the moment, when I get back I can remove the update code to make it easier on the CPU and you can try that to see if it solves your problem. I suggest meanwhile you do not load it on as many charts.

Thanks CJA. For the pic that I showed it to you, it only loaded on one chart and the CPU memory shot up tremendously.

OK noted with thanks, no hurry, awaiting for your mod after 4 weeks. Thanks

The issue turned out to be 2 Alert Arrays constantly adding extra data and slowly taking up CPU Memory until it caused the platform to freeze.
NOTE : The 2 previous ALERT versions of this indicator in this thread have this issue, please download this latest version.
My apologies for any inconvenience caused.

This is a new indicator if you used the set file for the earlier version that could be the problem, it loads on my charts with no issues. Try loading it directly onto the chart and see if that works. It was compiled on build 1090 and there have been some issues with that MT4 build with some indicators not showing on the chart, I am fairly confident it is not an indicator code issue.

Hi CJA, my apology to use the old setfile. I just loaded the indi again and keyed-in my testing accordingly. Below attachment is the new version's setfile, but yet doesn't work, i.e. gone. However, if I don't change anything on the settings, the 9 TF arrows will appear.

1) Can I change to another name to MA MTF Alerts.ex4 ? (shorter filename is easier for me to remember)
2) Why there is a gray dot ?

I noticed on your screenshot an array out of range warning and that will cause the indicator not to load on the chart. It is very strange as the indicator worked perfectly for a display of 9 down to 5 time frames but if 4 time frames or less were used the array problem arose. I have rewritten the array part of the code yet again and it now appears to work in all the different display modes, it appears MT4 is getting more and more strict on what code is allowed so what may have worked in the past may no longer work.
MT4 build 1090 has certain display issues so who knows what may happen with the next MT4 update??

Thank you very much CJA, it should be working now for this version. At this moment, the arrow signs seems pointing oppositely, kindly have a look. Should the market open by tomorrow, if there are further problems, I'll report to you accordingly.

In my opinion, MT4 should sooner and later be phased out and Metaquote will mandatory make all the brokers can only provide MT5, therefore the users will have no choice to use MT5. All the coders should be ready for this future development. Thanks

We will just have to wait and see what happens, I guess ultimately only MT5 will be supported but how long before that happens?????

All the coders should be ready for this future development.
Good luck with that, all I can say is don't expect the same level of support for free coding.

Thanks so much CJA, observing the indi after market opened this morning, it works perfectly.

Only Metaquote knows when they want to drop the MT4. Doesn't matter MT4 and MT5, there are some coders in forums are yet providing free coding, LOL.

Does it check less often?

can you please add an option to remove music signs next to the coloured bars? I don't need alerts and like a clean chart
