Candle close cross MA alert.mq4 Not working Please Help

Hello,
This indicator is suppose to provide one Alert or Alert email when price is below a Moving Average and a candle closes above it or when price is above a Moving Average and a candle closes below it. For some reason instead of only alerting/emailing on the close of a candle crossing a Moving Average it is alerting/emailing on every candle.

Can anyone modify the code to only alert once on the close of a crossing candle? It would also be very nice if a feature could be added to give an option to only alert once in x mount of candles to cut down on alerts in a whipsaw.


I trade while I'm at work and need this alert since I can't stare at the chart for my entries.

I spent a couple hours looking for an indicator that does this and could not find one.

I am more than willing to pay if there is a coder I can work with.

Thanks
Joe

Normally I will click the LIKE on your posts....

But, that link is to an indicator that alerts when TWO (2) moving averages cross each other

Here is a really good one if that's what you want = FREE

https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/24331

Now to the original concept, let's see if we can explain this in basic English

We want the PRICE to CROSS the Moving Average (1) and CLOSE on the other side, which will trigger the ALERT

As a visual example on the chart below, arrows indicate where price crossed the moving average line, and then closed on the other side

Obviously, taking a trade somewhere around #1 will be a great signal = $$$$ - which is the basic requirement for this ALERT

Even #2 may yield some pips to a quick trader

In fact, price is now in progress of crossing the line, and POSSIBLY closing above it, giving rise to a signal alert

Have a nice day

I don't code, but my assumption is that it wouldn't be very hard

Define the conditions:

1. Candle (price) cross the MA

2. Close price is above / below the MA after the cross

Here is how I see it; note, arrow is on the candle after the closed cross candle to show the intended entry at or near the open of next candle

Of course, in whipsaw conditions, there will be multiple crossover and arrows, good indication to stay out actually.

Cheers

As per link

  1. ....... The fast MA is set Period=1, Method = 0(SMA), Shift=0, Price=0(Close). This equates to current price at close.Explanation: https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=9765697#post9765697

No time for further comment or considerations.
