Need IB indicator

Hi All,
I trade IB's on a H1 and H4 chart. I have searched the web and forum and have found 2 inside bar indicators. One does not work and the other,although works perfect, is only an EX file and therefore I cannot make modifications to it.

The one that works fine is iB_nn.ex4.

I would like to have an IB indicator that creates an Alert and sends an Email on the close of the candle when an IB is formed. This will allow me to do other things and not be tied to the desk.

Thanks...

Mike G

go ahead and post the indicator that works, depending on how it is written you may be able to use it as a source for the data.

Thanks Magnum, After posting this I did see that it triggered an alert, if I could get an email function added, it would be perfect.

Thanks...MG

Here you go. I wrote this quickly so test it out and let me know if something needs fixing. You should only get one alert or email per inside bar being detected. You also have the option to turn off alerts and/or emails as needed.

Thanks Magnum. I loaded both into the indicators folder and attached them to the chart and I do not see anything.

Currently on the E/J H1 chart is an IB 2 hours ago.

Old indicator top, your New indicator bottom.

you still need to load the ib_nn indicator, the file I created just does the alerts for it. It will not alert for historical events just the last completed bar.
