Price Alarm?

I'm in need of an audible alarm that sounds when a pair reaches a given price.

That seems so simple I'm thinking I'm an idiot for asking...but if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

use metatrader. Don't have it? Download it free at their site.

Thanks llambert3. I'm using metatrader...I don't know how to set an alarm for a price, though. Is it in the regular or custom indicator list?

It's not an indicator.
In the 'terminal window' select the alerts tab then right mouse click in the the 'terminal window'.

Many thanks to you nvwine!

Your welcome
Depending on where you live and your cell phone provider you can send a price alert to your cell phone.

Or you could simply go to www.betonmarkets.com
Click on "Double Up" on the left, and go straight down, to the bottom of the page. Enter your cell phone number, and the strike price. And there you go. By the way it's totally free of charge.

I was talking about using the MetaTrader platform to set a price alert that sends the message to your cell phone or email instead of sounding an audio alert.

If you wish to place a line on your charts and have an audio and/or email alert given when price hits that line (it can be set to any angle) try out the two MT4 indicators found at my MT4 indicator page. The two indicators are called "ATM_TLineAudioFallingAler_email" and the companion rising indicator, be sure to also grab the .wav files and you will have a "Falling" and "Rising" wave files. I use these indicators to get me to the chart each trading day.

you can choose "email" instead of "sound" when setting up / modiying the alert. Just make sure you have your SMTP server set in Metatrader options also. Click the test button to test it.

so this way just email your phone.

I'm searching for an indicator or script that will send one email when price crosses a horizontal line that is place on a chart. Acrete created something similar but the email function didnt seem to work. There has to be someting like this out there already.

To qualify my earlier comment.
When I place the falling or rising alert on my chart I get continuous alerts no matter where the line is placed. I also cannot remove the line/indicator. When I delete it, it just reappears. The only way I can remove it is to reapply an earlier template or remove the chart all together.

All I am looking for is a horizontal line that can be dragged up and down a chart that sends an email when price touches it.

Ok I've taken this search outside of the FF and found an EA that is close but not exactly what I'm looking for.

Here's what I'm in search of.


Just a simple indicator.

In the properties of the indicator we would put the name of a Horizontal Line or Trend line and have an option to send an email alert when Price crosses the line the first time? (We could then drag the line/alerts around the chart reseting the alert every time we check charts without manually updating price alerts in MT4 terminal)

One indicator could then be placed on the chart for each line we want an email alert sent, when price crosses that line.

I am trading several pairs on 4 hour charts and work in an office 12 hours a day. An email to my cell phone would keep me in the game, not to mention during the London session when I'm asleep.

Currently I check the charts ever 4 hours and update numerous MT4 price alerts. This is very tedious.

It seems this type of Trend Line Aler Indicator would be very helpfull to allot of traders.

The only EA I use myself is an alert EA. every tick, it checks the current bid against all the horizontal lines and trend lines on the chart. If it finds one with the pattern "alert_##" in the line description (where ## is a number) it will fire an alert if within ## pips of the line.

I never really intended it for release so the code is a bit raw. I'll clean it up tonight and get it posted.

You really are the "Friendly Neighborhood Programer". Thanks

Is the alert sent in email form?

I am looing into some C classes now so someday I will be able to repay the favor forward.
