Try using the Chin breakout alert - it's a bit less automated than what you described. It allows you to set alarms at prices of your choice. Lots of dinging.

Is there any indicator similar to this that will produce a pop-up in the system tray when MT4 is minimized, similar to Outlook and MSN Messenger? Thanks.

Is it possible to change the ding to some thing louder. Like a noise that would wake me up? Thanks in advance

This is a "Script"; install it inside the Script folder.

To use:

1. Attach it onto your chart, a Horizontal Line will appear on the chart. By default, this Red Line is 30 pips from current Bid Price.

2. Move this Horizontal Line up/down to adjust the alarm price.

3. Once Bid Price touches this Horizontal Line, it will sound an alarm - NON-STOP until you stop it. To Stop the alarm, move the Horizontal Line up/down to Reset the Alarm!

4. To exit, "Remove Script" or "Delete the Horizontal Line".


Have Fun!

Thanks for that BK, works great. Is there a way to trigger a pop-up that is visible when MT4 is minimized with this script?

POPUP is possible but If MT4 is minimized, popups will be minimized as well.

OK, thanks BK. Do you know if it's even possible to program an alert that has system tray pop-ups when the program is minimized (like in Outlook)? Or is this search completely in vain

I think it is possible.

YM can be used to pop up alerts when an email is received.
So, make an Alert that sends email to your YM address!!!
Unfortunately, i am not into writing email modules in mt4.. :

Updated PriceAlarm version 2.

Has 2 Lines / Alarm levels: One for BID (red) and one for Ask (green).

These alarms are independent of each other. They can be positions either above or below current levels or from each other.

Like before, delete a Line to remove the corresponding Alarm; delete both lines and the script exits / quits.

Hi BurgerKing,

Would be a very useful script. I am a complete techno-moron, so simple utility like this is quite appetiting. Many thanks. RS

Hi there BK.

I am trying your script - it looks great by the way.
For some reason though - when i move lines and the price reaches line levels - i am not hearing anything.

Secondly - would it be at all possible for you to further incorporate the facility for end user to select their own audible alert sounds please? Or could you tell me how to modify yours to do so.

I am a COMPLETE newby to scripting so i do not have a clue.

Thanks again - it looks great - cant wait to get it working...

Sorry for my previous post - silly me - i got it working now.
I guess what i am trying to ask, BK, is to make it possible to choose my own alert for BID price level reached and ASK price level reached. I wish to use 2 different alerts so that i can know if my stop loss has been reached or if my take profit (without having to look at the screen OR while i am changing my baby's diapers) ha ha... Thanks a million in advance if you can help
