Re: Bollinger Band Alert Sound

Anyone got an Alert indicator for Bollinger Band?

I want an alert sound when the current price hits the outer bollinger band lines. Is this type of alert possible?

Currently I use a Bat Price Alert from the TeamApha thread. I place the two alert on each side of the out band when i'm not on my pc. It makes an alert sound when they are hit. But the Alert doesnt work well because the band moves and alert doesn't. Does anyone have a solution for this? I want the alert to follow the band.

Thanks sorry for english is not my first language.

Hi! I have programmed this bollinger band indicator to be voice activated. There's a voice alert when the candle high breaks the band high, and when the candle low breaks the band low.

There is an adjustable limiter for the speech reporting. The AlarmDelay is the number of seconds the voice must wait to speak, after speaking. The robot voice was made using the MS Speech API. The wav files go in your metatrader 'sounds' folder.

AlertboxOn will turn the alert box on and show the candle, cross point and the high/low price.

There's lots of options so you can set it to your own preferences.

Regards,
David.

I have been looking for this for weeks. I knew it was somewhere. I wasn't able to find it anywhere on the forums for awhile.

Thank you! I owe you my life!

Your welcome. This was custom programmed by myself to work with other specially selected indicators in my upcoming MT4 Speech Template that I have been working so hard on. All of the indicators speak together properly and realtime.

Some indicators have unique speech characteristics, for instance the CustomCandles indicator now has tombstone, dragonfly, four price, and marubozu speech.

The package is shaping up to be an excellent educational tool that showcases the unique qualities and mechanics of Forex in 'realtime', its an immersive and interactive experience.

Hi David,

I wanted to thank you also for the bollinger alert! It is to some extent what I was looking for and I find it quite useful. However, the repeat alerts can be annoying. I changed the AlarmDelay setting to a bigger number, 20, but I believe that just delays the alarm the first time?? Then it repeats every few seconds until that candle does not touch the outer bands any more. it can be quite noisy if there are several pairs open, and I believe that all that action makes my MT platform very sluggish... ???

How easy would it be to alert only once, upon candle close... or maybe a little bit before... as often price moves quickly after certain candle formations?

Question for you... What does the "Bollinger Breach" Indicator do? I haven't seen any use for that, and the BandsR2 seems all that's needed?

I had a custom EA made, (Ronald Raygun made it for me) which I can also use as "alert only" as well as for placing trades. What it does, is alert, upon candle close, after the outer bands have been breached, by the previous candle... or in other words, the candle that breaches the bands is the setup candle. If the next candle/s close higher, no alert will sound, but the first down candle, upon close, the alert sounds once. This is useful to me but will lose money if all trades are taken, so I prefer to use "alert only" and then use discretion on whether its a good signal or not. If someone wants this EA I can post it here.

Hi! Using a 1M chart as an example. The CandleAlertRange can be set to 1. The CandleAlertDelay would be set to 75 seconds. Alerts will be for candle zero and one. The delay would be longer than the candle time period of 60 seconds (1M) and the alert would trigger on candle 1. The alert delay is not just one time, the setting above will keep delaying 75 seconds regardless of timeframe. After any indicator is added to a template, and you are finished adjusting its' settings, the template should then be saved again, because the template will eventually revert the new indicator back to its default setting. Regards, David.

Thanks David,

I'll play with the settings, but I don't see a "CandleAlertRange" that could be changed to 1.. did you mean Draw Range? I think not... isnt that how far back to color the bands?

Yes the BandsDrawRange is how far back to draw the lines.

CandleAlertRange is the scope of the alert, in candles, starting with candle zero. If its' set to 1 then you will get alerts for candle o and 1.

DrawBands - Hide or Show Lines
BandsDrawRange- ( in candles ) Number of Candles to Draw.
BandsPeriod - ( in days ) Number of days for SMA calculation.
BandsShift - Moving Average Shift. Indicators line offset. ( default 0 ) BandsDeviations - Multiplication factor
BandsAlertBoxOn - Turns on the Alert Box window.
SoundAlert High/Low - Turns on the High and/or Low Band Alert.
AlarmDelay - Time delay for Speaking and the Alert Box.
Counter - Simple Counter ( default 0 )
CandleAlertRange - ( in candles ) described above.

The indicator also needs data coming from the server to speak, Sun-Fri.

David.

Thanks David,
Mine looks like this;
Maybe it's an earllier version?

I've added all the averaging and applied price mode options to it. The sounds are the same but are included anyway.

Regards,
David.

Great work here Nth! Is it possible to make this alert send an email when the alarm goes off?

T

David, GREAT indicator, I too was looking for weeks for smth like that. I came across one that gave alert when price touched BB, but it produced too many false signals.

What else do you have up your sleeve?..

great work, thank you.

"What else do you have up your sleeve?.." Haven't tested mt5 yet but build 225 is quite a remarkable trading experience with -all- the sounds running live...

I've been looking for exactly this type of alert, but for a Moving Average as opposed to B.Bands. I've found several that will alert when two MA's cross, but I've yet to find one that just alerts when price crosses a single MA.

Anybody know of one?

How difficult is it to have this BB indicator send and email alert as well? That would be really helpful.

Can anybody figure a way to make this indicator alert only once and not so many multiple times after touching the band?

Your help is apperciated

What is BBTime?

Very good indicator and tool, but the problem is: It does not shut up!!
Once is enough. Can anyone limit the number of alarms? tx

i Gummy.
Did you find a way to shut up the indicator. Despite being excellent, is sounds every 2 seconds..
thanks
