Attached Image (click to enlarge)

1. NEW - Fully Integrated Alerting Engine: Never miss a signal again. Receive instant notifications via desktop pop-ups, mobile push, email, and sound alerts.
2. NEW - Higher Timeframe (HTF) Open Lines: You can now plot the open prices from H4, W1, or MN1 directly on your current chart, with full control over style, color, and labels.
3. IMPROVED - High-Precision Daily Filter (DODF): The core filter has been completely rebuilt. It is now anchored to the 17:00 New York (ET) session close, the institutional standard. This ensures maximum consistency across all brokers and automatically handles US Daylight Saving Time changes.
4. ADDED - Arrow Size Customization: You can now control the size of the EA State arrows to better suit your chart layout and personal preference.
5. FIXED - Stability and Reliability: We've squashed several bugs, including resolving a critical compilation error and fixing visual glitches.

Detailed Changelog
New Features & Systems

1. Alerting Engine:
   1. A new section in the indicator inputs, === ALERTING ENGINE ===, provides full control over signal notifications.
   2. Notification Timing: Choose when to receive alerts: on the current (live) bar as a signal forms, or on the previous (closed) bar for a confirmed signal. You can also turn all alerts Off.
   3. Multi-Channel Alerts: Independently enable or disable any combination of:
      1. Desktop MT4 pop-ups (Alert)
      2. Email notifications (SendMail)
      3. Push mobile notifications (SendNotification)
      4. Sound alerts (PlaySound)

      
      
      

   4. Custom Sound: Specify your own .wav file for sound notifications.

   
   
   

2. HTF Open Line Visualization:
   1. A new section in the indicator inputs, === HTF OPEN LINE (VISUAL) ===, has been added.
   2. Master ON/OFF Switch: Enable or disable the feature with a single click (ShowOtherTimeframe). It has zero impact on performance when disabled.
   3. Full Customization: Choose the timeframe (H4, W1, MN1), display mode (Current, Previous, or Both), line colors, styles, and labels.

   
   
   

Improvements & Fixes

1. DODF Engine Overhaul:
   1. NY Session Anchor: The daily open calculation is now precisely anchored to the 17:00 ET session open, providing a consistent daily bias regardless of your broker's server time.
   2. Automatic DST Handling: The new time-aware logic automatically adjusts for US Daylight Saving Time.
   3. Increased Reliability: The logic now uses H1 chart data for its primary calculation, with a robust fallback to D1 data to ensure the filter is always active.
   4. Enhanced Logging: Debug logs now include the exact session start time for easier verification.

   
   
   

2. Visuals & Usability:
   1. Configurable Arrow Size: The new DODFstateSize input allows you to set the EA State arrow size from 1 (smallest) to 5 (largest).
   2. Improved Chart Label: The indicator's short name now correctly displays its core parameters (D, Dev, Bs) and the current chart timeframe.

   
   
   

3. Stability:
   1. Fixed Compilation Error: A critical syntax error that could cause an "unexpected end of program" message has been resolved.
   2. Stuck Label Fix: The "DODF: Loading..." label will no longer get stuck on the chart if you disable the DODF filter while it is active.
