MT4 MA crossover alert without having charts showing?

I get the feeling that the answer is simple and it'll be a no but I'm going to ask anyway and risk ridicule.
I'd like to set an MA crossover alert onto all markets on my ODL account, and there are obviously loads of markets-shares/fx/oil/indices etc. My question is-is it possible to be alerted to an MA cross on these markets without having all the charts open? As MT4 is a trading platform and not a specific piece of software like Sharescope (a UK package), I'm guessing it's not possible but thought it might be worth a punt if anyone had any ideas.
Cheers and happy trading,

It is possible. all you need is for 1 chart to be opened to load an indicator or EA and the code can manage the monitoring of all other markets the broker has to offer. However, there are limitations to such implementation, but you can overcome it to a certain degree by creating an indicator or EA that's time-based and not tick-based.

Hi Zen,
So if I opened a gbp/usd chart and added an MA crossover EA/alert, then it would automatically monitor all other markets, or would it need special code inserted?
Thanks,

It doesn't have to be an hourly..it could be any timeframe!

huh? I didn't say anything about hourly.
I said 1 chart.

yes you'll need to program your indicator to look into other currency pairs' data.

if you take a look at any of the technical indicator function, the first parameter to supply is the currency pair in question. work with that.

Zen
