Help adding arrows to an indicator!

I would like to know how to do the following:

Take the standard MT4 Momentum Oscillator and:

1 Permanently place a "Zero-line" actually 100.00

2. Set up Arrow Signals for when it crosses AND CLOSES down/up through the "Zero-line"

Is that hard to do?

Thanks

Darren

Not hard at all, do you need it to have to ability to sound an alert or send an email when an arrow appears?

Actually, if I could get Arrows to show, an audible alert and an email option that would be great!!

Thanks!

Darren

But I would settle for the arrows and an audible alert!

Thanks again

Sorry about the delay, Wednesdays are my get as much done as I can in the afternoon days that isn't related to trading. LOL!

Let me know if this is what you were looking for.

WOW, thank you so much for doing it so quickly.

It is VERY Close to what I'm currently using.

attached is the one I've been using and your's with arrow...

The difference is:

On the old one: the line moves in either spikes or flatlines
On your's: the spikes show a break through of the zero line when the old one shows no break through the zero line.

I'm not sure if it's the settings for your's or the old one...but they are VERY close!

It also seems like each pair has a different high/low value that is not fixed.?

So in short: is there a way to smooth this out (the old one is on a 2 period set to "LOW" if that helps

Sorry, here's the instance I was referring too... for me, it's key when the candle causes the signal line to actually close THROUGH the zero level...if it flatlines on top of it without breaking then the current trend continues.

So I Circled in red where your version generated a false signal which was actually just a continuation of th trend. It might be something to do with how to set the correct zero level fixed or un fixed min/max values?

So you know how the standard momentum indy in MT4 calculates those numbers?

Thanks again!!

I found this...the only thing it needs I'm guessing is:

Add arrows

Add the zero line?

looks like the only difference was that you were using the low and I had it set for the close.

try this one and see how it looks.

It matches perfect...except now I don't get any arrows?

weird how it comes up and hugs that 100.00 line.

try this.

ok, need to get the brain in gear. This should do exactly what you want.

Note to self: no coding until the coffee kicks in completely.

Man thats wierd...no arrows/signals at all?
It looks perfect though!?

Is your's working on your MT4?

This is all I get...

yup, works just fine on mine.

wonder if the error is coming from the period converter that you are using. Try putting it on a normal chart.

Wow, works now...really strange though...must be my broker...?

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'd be happy to pay you via pay pal if you'd like!

Thanks again friend!

You already paid by being a veteran. Consider it a small thank you for your sacrifice.

HUAH! Now thats a way to start my morning...THANK YOU. SIR!

It's starting to give multiple signals...even though the signal line didn't CLOSE below or above the zero line.

Thanks Sir!

Hi

Please, somebody could add arrow and alert on this Center Of Gravity indicator, it is very good if you use in combination with support and resistence after the green lines. it does not repaint, if you add arrow and alert will be very handle to backtest too.
