hi guys,

was wondering if anybody has a simple ea which is watching equity and sounding an audible alarm once it falls below a certain level = a amount which i can enter.

i had an unfortunate accident and sure dont want that to happen again


so happy trading for 09 to you all,

You don't need an EA for this, a simple indicator can be written. I will do it in a few minutes if you like. It will print to the upper left on the screen and give you an alert on your criteria. Let me know

I will add that feature. be back in a minute

Edit now it has the option to make it alert on every tick, until you turn it off.

If you Really want a lot of alerts, put the indicator on a very volatile pair like GBPJPY or GBPCHF. The more ticks, the more alerts.

will try it shortly.

the idea is that as long as the equity is below a set level that it rings till i turn it off.

if i understand you correctly it will now sound the alarm as long it is below the set level on every tick, that be just dandy

Hi, If someone could help me finding or coding this indicator I will appreciate your help.

Im looking for an indicator that play an alert and popup a message when open a lot of x size (previously defined). I already have an ea, but the thing is that I have it running in 10 pairs, so it will be easier to me just to hear an alert when a trade of x lot was opened, so I can make a decision to keep playing the ea or stop the ea.

The indicator could be as simple as the "Equity Alert v2.mq4", but instead of sending the alert based in the equity, sent an alert when reach the lot size predefined in the indicator settings inputs. Also it will be nice if has the option to make it alert on every tick, until you turn it off.

*Just to be more clear, my ea starts opening lots like this:
0.1, then 0.15, then 0.23, etc....so for example, I would like an indicator that send an alert in the moment that open the x lot (13.0 for example).

Thank you so much in advance.
