Price - EMA Cross indicator

Hi All,
I have researched several forums, including FF and cannot find what I am looking for. If anyone has it, I would appreciate a copy of it.

I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A 2 EMA CROSS-OVER INDICATOR.

I am coming from another charting package that had this built in. MT4 does not.

What I need? I need an indicator that will trigger an email and pop-up alert when PRICE crosses a designated EMA.

I tried "Alerter" (great indicator) but I cannot assign a description to the EMA.

Any help in this would be appreciated. I have a 4HR system that I would like to put it on and not have to get up every 4 hours at night, or would allow me to go to the grocery store and not miss a dynamic move in the pair.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Matrixxdg,

Use EMA cross indicator, but change one of the EMA with price value (Bid, Ask, Open, Close, whichever).

ProRealtime You right click on the EMA and create an alarm....very easy/.

Maybe it's also possible to set the second EMA to "1", without changing the code?

This is a very useful topic. I have been also looking for such indicator for a long time. Any useful inputs to the thread appreciated. I tried to modify several 2ma's cross indicators, by changing the code from 2Ma's cross, to the price and MA cross. I put in that open of the previous bar must be lower than MA && close of the previous bar must be higher than MA for an upcross alert on the current bar. And vice versa for the downcross alert. This modified indicator draws signal arrows very accurately when the price crosses any specified MA. But something wrong is with the alert. It gives multiple alerts even when there is now cross. I attached this handicaped indicator below, in order some of us can figure out what the problem is and correct it. I made the first step - this indicator accurately draws signal arrows on the charts on the next bar after the price crosses Ma specified ( first Ma in the inputs). The next step is to tune up the alert.

P.s. from my experience setting fast ma to 1 in the 2ma cross indicator doesn't help. It gives false arrow signals not speaking of alerts.

regards

i see that it is an old thread. therefore if anyone has already found the indicator that works pls attach it here. thanks.

Thanks Vorschlag. I think you have just gien me what Im looking for. Just to make sure Ive got it set right:- I want an alert when price crosses on a 1 minute chart, a 60 ema. I have your indicator set at:- ma 1=60 and the second ma at 1, is this correct?
Thanks, Bogus

Hi, Bogus,
This indicator is not finished yet It doesnt work the way it should. if you want this indicator show you the arrows on the chart when the price crosses 60 MA, Just set the first MA to 60. No need to set the second MA. The second MA is disabled in this indicator, because i changed the code. I removed the value of the second MA and put "Close" and "Open" value instead. Actually this indicator shows arrows when the bar breaks MA, i.e. when the open price of the bar is lower than MA, and close is higher than MA. This indicator gives only graphical alerts with 2 colored arrows. The problem of this indicator is popup and sound alerts. They don't work properly. I use this ind. only for graphical alerts. So set the alert option to "false" in the inputs not to get fake alerts. I am not good at programming, so I attached it with the idea that someone else can upgrade it.
regards.

Ok Thanks. It'll do me. Ive got no idea about programming.
