but, do u guys know if there is any trendline alert for metatrader or others
for example, if price 1% or so of that trendline, it will trigger an alert. Thanks.

u can make a simple custom indicator to do this. or if you want a simpiler way you can just use the alerts tab of the terminal to set alerts near existing trendlines (manual way)

Thanks.
First, i dont know how to make a custom indicator with this feature.
i found this indicator at metatrader yahoo group but i dont know what to do with this file.it's right here

http://f5.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/cI5jQ7V...cators/TLA.mql

It's under MQL-II Custom Indicator
The name of the file is TLA.mql

second, i dont think it's good idea to put price alert using the terminal. that's because the available alert is only price alert. trendline has slope...
thanks again.

ok that file is code for mt2 or mt3.. and i dont think those versions are active any longer...MT4 uses a new language - mq4

the group u speak of has a section for mt4 files, maybe someone has already made a translation, or similar..
also u could try mt forum

for installation you will need to save mq4 or ex4 file into the indicators folder of mt4 program (usually under program files) mq4 files are the actual code, when mt4 is started it scans the indicators folder for mq4's and converts them into ex4 files for execution.. u can use ex4 files but cannot view or modify the code, sometimes these are used for distribution when the author wants to protect their work..

hope that helps

ok can somebody show me alert that they are using for trendline. trendline has slope, so i can't use price alert. i do think many people out there use trendline as a part of their trading and they must be using some sort of alert when price is close to the trendline. help from anyone please. really need help

I too have been looking for a Trendline Alert, and luckily today I just found........ 2 of them.

HLine Alert.mq4 is a Horizontal Line Alert and
TLine Alert.mq4 is a Trend Line Alert [any angle]

One thing I just worked out is you can not have 2 lines with the same name so just make sure that when you load the second Alert you Change the LineName under the Inputs Tab to something else eg: from MyLine1 to MyLine2 or MyLine3 or MyLine4, I'm sure you get the picture.

Have fun,

Dean.

Well I got it to show on an indicator window but then I realised from the code that PRICE need to pass through it to sound the alert, which is never going to happen when it is on and indicator window, so it is beyond me...... sorry.

madeinparis and deanz

I played with this today and came up with one that works but it has to have the indicator coded within and it is very difficualt to set the trend line with out setting it off before it is were you want it, will have to create an on off switch to turn it off till the trend line is set were you want it.

I also built in a dialog box to show if your not with in hearing distance.

It works nice but just a pain to set the line with out it going off.

will post it tomorrow after building in a switch.

for now heres a screen shot of the stochastic signal line cross.

Here is a trend line on a stochastic signal line. Any one will a little experance with MQ will fine it easy to change the indicator to what ever any one wants. I explained it some in the documentation at the end of the code.

You can not have a trend line on an indicator if its data is not made available with in the trend line code. That is you can not simply add a trend line to an indicator window that contains the indicator as the data can not be read by the trendline. There are other ways to feed this data into the trendline code but it would still take some other codeing tricks to do.

Read the code before asking questions please. I will not be supporting this code as it was done for personal test purposes. not as a valued indicator.

enjoy

its built around the Stochastic indicator what settings are you useing? This is using the typical 5,3,3 but on a Closing bases with Weighted smoothing just the signal line shows as its what is used to trigger. What settings do you want? and I'll set it up for you.

ok
thank you for that indicator trendline
i am a zero in mql language
if you could please just do it for the stochastic that is included in any MT4 platform, the basic one, where we can put our own parameters that would be awesome
if you can't do it, can anybody else do it please?

thanks in advance

Here are your changes, if your not good with english have some one there translate it to you, all you need to know is in the code itself read it.
