Audible Alarm for Take Profit Targets

Hello Everyone,

I need some help regarding an Audible Alarm for Take Profit Targets.

I have experienced not just once but several times that my take profit targets were hit but it wasn't executed. Maybe it's due to a very quick price movement or high volatility.

Is anybody out there has an Audible Alarm for Take Profit Targets or knows how to program it into mq4? I think this will help us alot since it will notify us that our Target has been hit already.

Therefore, this will free us from staring all the time in front of our computer monitor. Once the Alarm sounds continuously beeping then we can go to our computer and verify it if our take profit target has been executed.

I know someone out there in this forum have a good heart sharing his expertise.

Thank you in advance.

Help is very much appreciated.

Is anybobody out there knows how to program an mq4 for Audible Alarm set on Price preferably a continuous beeping.

This audible alarm is very important if you are a Fibonacci Trader since it will inform the trader the location of the price based on Fib levels.

This is very usefull especially in the Fib retracement levels either external or internal.

Hoping for someone to help.

Falcon:

Is the take profit from an EA that is set after an entry is made or is the take profit target a manual entry you made? If you're using MT4 you can set an audible alert by clicking the alert tab and setting it there. I do this quite often when a price area is hit. If it's a EA, it should be doable after the take profit is hit then play the wave file. If you're coding this you should use a SLEEP = 10000 line to give the code 'time' to play the alert after the take profit code is executed...

Hi Palmer,

Thank you so much for the help. I did what you told me to do. It works.
Now, my problem was solved and I can at least relax or do something while waiting for the sound to alert me.

Again, thank you so much.

Hello, I was wondering if the same could be done to an indicator (not an ea )to be able to get continuous alerts. I was trying to apply it to the stochastic indicator below and now does not alert at all.

Thank you in advance.

put a variable that works with stochastic cross and a 'IF' to alert.

Hi Marcelo.

Total newbie to Forex trading so please bear with me.

I have a manual trading system that I'm following and have set up the currency pair chart window which has 2 Stochastic indicators. It's proving quite successful but it does mean I have to sit glued to my PC to watch the STOCHASTIC levels.

I'd like to set an audible alert when Sto 1 reaches a certain level, ie when it goes ABOVE 84 on the Sto Vertical Scale for example, it sounds an alert (great if it could be a WAV file that I could change). I don't want it to sound when it goes below.

This alert will then tell me to watch Sto 2 and again I want to set an alert for a particlular level which will give me the trade entry point.

I looked at the alerts tab but this only applies to the main chart window, and which you have to set for every trade.

Can you advise me where I can start to put this alert feature on the Stochastic Indicators please.

I looked at various Forums but quite honestly I don't know where to start.

Thanks in advance.
