indicator alerts

Someone please answer a question for me, this question has been asked before, but going over the forum I cannot find a simple answer, apart from lots of coding examples in MT4.

Yesterday I downloaded a custom indicator, that produces arrows on the MT4 screen, when two EMAs intersect, it even produces a boxed message when that happens. aLL I want to know is "Do I have to do further coding for the EMA crossing instances be sent as an EMAIL alert.

The indicator itself is "ema crossover signal.ex4" created by thunderwolf and can be found on this forum by searching for that indicator.

All replies would be appreciated, especially since I know nothing about programming and coding.

Use the "manage attachments" button when you reply to upload the indicator.

Someone on the forum here will be able to tell you if it needs further coding (if I'm around I'll check it).

Can you post the indicator so I can look at it and see what we can do to make it work for you.

Happy New Year's

Hello Traders,

I've been following this thread since day one and I'd like to say that Imran you deserve to be commended for all the hard work and explanations and help that you have so unselfishly given to all of us traders. This world could use a lot more people like you! May God continue showering his blessings on you and you're family.

I'm posting an EMA Crossover Alert that I thought might help us all.

Just enter the 2 EMA values [ fast & slow ] and the alert will make a sound and also a pop up window will appear on your screen indicating crossover trending up or down, plus it will plot arrows on your chart. It's not necessary to actually plot the EMA's on your chart if you don't want to clutter up the look of your chart. The arrows will appear with or without the EMA lines on the chart.

I use the alert for the 60 EMA crossing the 200 EMA because as Imran has said when 60 crosses 200 a big move can follow. This way I can watch the Gbp/Jpy on my screen yet be alerted when any crossover occurs on any of the other 10 currency pairs I have, that are minimized on my platform.

I hope this indicator will be of some use and help for all of you.

Take care and "Happy Trading" everyone!!

P.S. Thanks a million Imran, I appreciate all that you do for us....T-Wolf

Yeah, that indicator needs to have coding added to get the email function. Unfortunately, I'm not a coder. However, I did find an indicator that might do the job for you. Crossover alert- very customizable, with email function.

Hope it helps.

Tried your new indicator. Kenmania, but unfortunately I do not know how to customize it for my two EMSs, and also set the EMail functionality.

Thank you anyway for the link, Happy new Year

Hi Romex,

If you are using Imran's system, you should checkout my thread, which has many useful indicators with several types of alerts for that (email included).
