Horizontal line alert function

Hi,

Wonder if we can find an alert indicator allows the horizontal line has the alert function.

The best is it works both in the price zone and indicator zone, and can be dragged to different levels.

That would be a very convenient way to set alerts.

Happy trading

And you know what the kicker is? That post is #7 on the page.

If you had read the first page of posts you would have also come up with Price Alarm and Alerts When Price Reaches A Level?.

Hi, Tesla,

Really glad you show up here.

Maybe I did not use it right, but now after many tryouts, I still can not make the indicator work for me.

I download the Alerter.mq4 to my MT4\experts\ folder (not experts\indicators\, right? I also tried that)

I restart the MT4, and click the Expert Advisors Button Green

I draw a trendline and horizontal line, and mark the description as "Alert_1", "Alert_2"...

Once it did sounds and pop up a window, but just once, no more actions anymore, drives me crazy.

Please help

Hi, Tesla,

I now notice that you make the indicator work only once, and the description "Alert_xx" is stripped, so actually it works. Thanks a lot!

What if I want to keep the alert working multi-times?

Can this indicator trigger alarm in the indicator window below the normal price window? With that function it will be a perfect tool for me.

Thanks again and great work!

If you want to let the alert continue, just comment out this line of code:
PHP Code
 clearObjectAlert(sObjName);
It shouldn't matter where a line is (which window), if it's got the Alert_# flag in it, the alerts should fire.

Also... I think you're setting Alert_# wrong. The number is how many pips away from the line the alert should fire. Most of my lines have Alert_10 or Alert_20 in the description

looking for indicator that Alert when Current price = high/low of candle, particularly useful to detect 4Hr breakout, preferable can set which 1Hr or 4Hr time frame's candle high/low to alert, regardless what time frame is currently viewing.

Any experts can help?
