heiken ashi alert

I have search in the forum looking for Heiken Ashi Sound alert. I found one, it played sound alert while the candle was changing color. It may played the sound many many times because it played the sound at the latest candle, and it is a bit annoying if I use it in 1HR time frame!

Thus, I would like to know, if anyone can help me, to edit the code? The previous candle has change the color, and it only played the sound after a new candle is formed.

Thank you very much~

This is how I do it. Declare barStart as a datetime variable in the static section of the indicator.

if (barStart < Time[0]) //start of new bar
{

// place logic for signal here
barStart = Time[0];

} // end if barstart

Hi, thank you very much for your help
I am not good at programming, so I try my best to code it, however, I don't understand declare barstart as datetime variable, is the code should be:


extern int barStart = 0;




and I have try to add the code, it becomes




if (haOpen<haClose)
{
trend[pos]=1;
ExtMapBuffer1[pos]=0;
ExtMapBuffer2[pos]=1;
if (barStart < Time[0])
{if (WarningMode>0 && pos==0 && trend[1]<0) PlaySound("alert2.wav");}
}
else
{
trend[pos]=-1;
ExtMapBuffer1[pos]=1;
ExtMapBuffer2[pos]=0;
if (barStart < Time[0])
{if (WarningMode>0 && pos==0 && trend[1]>0) PlaySound("alert2.wav");}
}
ExtMapBuffer3[pos]=haOpen;
ExtMapBuffer4[pos]=haClose;
pos--;
}

I think i have done something wrong, because it does not work, but i don't know how to fix it, could you please give me some more advice??? Thx Thx

barStart doesn't have to be an external variable. It has to declared outside the start() function to make it static.

You forgot this line of code barStart = Time[0]. It has to go near the end of the start() function. I think after the closing bracket of the if statement should do it. Right now barStart always has a value of 0; therefore the alert is triggered for every tick.

I have tried to google how to programming, but it's hard to learn~
I have changed the code to this,

if (haOpen<haClose)
{
trend[pos]=1;
ExtMapBuffer1[pos]=0;
ExtMapBuffer2[pos]=1;
static datetime barstart;
barStart = Time[0];
if (barStart < Time[0])
{if (WarningMode>0 && pos==0 && trend[1]<0) PlaySound("alert2.wav");}
}
else
{
trend[pos]=-1;
ExtMapBuffer1[pos]=1;
ExtMapBuffer2[pos]=0;

static datetime barstart;
barStart = Time[0];
if (barStart < Time[0])
{if (WarningMode>0 && pos==0 && trend[1]>0) PlaySound("alert2.wav");}
}
ExtMapBuffer3[pos]=haOpen;
ExtMapBuffer4[pos]=haClose;
pos--;
}

but I can't compile, it said barstart variable not defined.... and i don't know how to fix it

Open MT4 ; press strg + o ; go to email tab and fill it out. Then you get an email if you aktivate it in the indicator.

Here's an update to the above files. They now can be turned off, meaning the indicator doesn't need to be removed, when wanting to view only MT4 candles.

Hello At777! Thanks so much for the update! Really cool!

Now, can you or anyone here possibly write a script that can work with either of the above HA indicators just so that if there is a current position in a particular trend and there is a change in colour or alert, the said position be closed automatically?

An update of this idea will be to feed the system with order ids just so that specific orders will be closed. This way, if for example, you have 2 similar positions - scalping on one and swinging the other, you can add the order id of the scalping position, and that's what will be closed when there is a change in colour. Then, it will be great when there is an alert of the closed position.

Thank you in advance!

Cheers!
