Demark_trend_alert_and_mail modification

Im using this indicator and it works very fine in automtially drawing support/resistance lines. It also has a built in alert feature for whenever price crosses on of these lines.

Now to my "problem". At the moment, the alert is designed to show up only after the bar has closed. Is there any way to modify the alert so it will sound as soon as the current bar breaches support/resistance?

Any suggestions would be lovely
Please find the attached indicator.

Problem is that doing so you will have several alert in a row if the price starts to oscillate around the trendline.

But it's technically possible.

Hi Ronyn76,

This may be a start, for bad or good, hopefully for good:


To be added before "int init()":

double dTemp[3]={0,0,0};


To be added after "int start()" (under "int start()" where all the other function thingys are):

double SupplyNow()
{
return(ObjectGetValueByShift("HL_1",0));
}
double DemandNow()
{
return(ObjectGetValueByShift("LL_1",0));
}


To be added within "int start()". preferably towards the end to wait, in case new trend lines are drawn:

dTemp[2]=dTemp[1];
dTemp[1]=dTemp[0];
dTemp[0]=Bid;
if(dTemp[0]>SupplyNow() && dTemp[1]<SupplyNow() && dTemp[2]<SupplyNow())
{
Print("Supply crossed"); // PlaySound("alert.wav");
}
if(dTemp[0]<DemandNow() && dTemp[1]>DemandNow() && dTemp[2]>DemandNow())
{
Print("Demand crossed"); // PlaySound("alert.wav");
}


This should be a so-so Alert, depending on (I would think) timeframe, as it would be somewhat effective if you were trying to run this with short timeframes, that required extreme speed for indication, signal, execution, etc... I did very limited testing as I am working on other projects, but the code looks sound enough to properly work.

I can add a sample of the code for your review...

Let me just stress that this is obviously a short cut to actually creating a set-up that will properly alert. For example if this was used to initiate a trade as opposed to an alert it can/will get you into multiple trades if price follows the trendline, oscillating under and above. In which case using BUYSTOP/SELLSTOP set to ObjectGetValueByShift("LL_1",0) may be more effective.
