MT4 audio/email alert?

I'm looking for a way to get Metatrader to give an audio alert and send email when price closes below a moving average. MA should be able to be set for SMA, EMA, WMA.

I've searched and all I seem to find are MA crossover alerts. Any help is appreciated.


Thank You,

Hey LasVahGoose... I'm going to continue your thread to answer part of your question and then add mine!!
This indicator MA-crossover-alert will do what you want. I use it for this purpose. I set the slow MA to 170 and the fast MA to 1 or 2. This way, as soon as the price closes above the MA, the alert goes off.

Now the problem. It's an on-going one. The indicator continues to give alerts every minute. So....

Hey you programmers!!!!!!
Can we modify this to give only one buy signal, and nothing again until it is a Sell signal ?? and vice-versa.

What about a set number of minutes before the next signal can take place ??
An input variable we can set to dis-allow any more signals for X # of minutes.

That would be my dream indicator.

Now why didn't I think of that! Good idea, thank you.

try PT Multistation! it is able to connect to MT server... there are a lot of notification tools (alerts, table alerts, visual advisor) and it is possible to set up various notification actions (and also audio and email).

good luck!

Yeah, a skilled senior programmer like you !!
I used to program in a past life, but I've got no coding skills for this stuff.

The logic I'm thinking of is, after it gives a Buy signal, it can not signal again until it is a Sell signal.

I thought about input variables to give 3 or 5 alerts and then nothing else until it gets a new cross....

or an input variable for number of minutes before it can give a new signal. This would reduce multiple alerts in a choppy market.

But the most useful one I can come up with is one signal per cross.

It seems that this multiple alert problem has been kicking around the forum for some time. It would be great to put it to rest!!

If you want to take a look at it Oksana, it would be greatly appreciated!!

1. Corrected code scanning bars wrong direction.
2. Arrow now only shows at close of candle to eliminate false crosses.
3. Single alert and/or email per arrow.

Magnum or any coder,

Would it be possible to modify this indicator so that the it would only alert after a cross of the ma by price by x number of pips?

Thank you.

Chris

I've been away from FF for a while. Getting back into it.
Where do you save/load your MA email alert file for it to work?

Hi. Hopefully someone can help me. I subscribed to a "signal" on mql5 for my mt4 platform. Can't seem to find answer on there for this. I wonder if there is an indicator or whatever that will merely make an alarm to let me know that a trade has been made on my platform, so I can hear it an run over to my computer to see the trade and watch the signal while it's performing the trade on my account. I want to watch the signal trading on my account, but I don't want to sit watching my account 24/7 waiting for when the person might trade. An alarm for buy and sell would be handy! Thanks.

That kind of alert exists. The one that I recall is overkill for your requirements, but maybe you can adapt it.

//---

hey valeagrl..... the ea below should alert anytime a new trade is placed or closed..... this includes buys, sell, limits and stops......

it does not place trades and has no inputs....... place it on any chart...... once a new trade is seen, the alert will sound.....

to turn off the alert, just switch time frames...... or the long way...... click on the ea smiley face icon..... this brings up the properties box..... click ok..... that closes the box..... the alert stops......

it will alert again when the trade closes..... or any other trade.....h
