Macedonia, it seems the alerter doesn't work as expected, isn't it? Don't hesitate to post a chart and explain how exactly the alert supposed to be activated. It's not that difficult to modify it.

they are minor issues.
A) the first chart G/J i received the email on the candle close (indicated by the arrow on the chart) But the message i get on my email is "it closed above" where infact candle has closed below. But no big deal as long as there is some sort of close and i get notified where i don't have to sit infront of the comp all day
B) second chart Euro/Yen the candle opened in between the two lines (as shown by the arrow i drew) and i received an email. But what i need is 1) the close of the candle not the opening of the new candle.....2) candle closing past both lines not just the one or in between.
C) i recieve the same email repeating every hour after a cross.
I have no idea what the two lines represent.
Thanks again.

Make sure you use the same setting for both A1KAlert and the original A1K blablablaSlope.ex4

) or only alert when previous 2 candles close above and previous candle close below (and vice versa)?I have no idea what the two lines represent.

File name is _linreg.mq4.
Use RPeriod value of your A1K for _linreg.mq4 LRPeriod value. not sure about the other line.
Let me know how it works

I thought you mean when candle open above the two lines. I've modified it to alert when candle close above/below the line. Pls note that because you need alert when candle close, you will receive alert at the open of the next candle. For example, for bar 09:00 at H1 chart, you will receive alert at 10:00.

The way I code is to send alert every bar and inform whether candle close above or below the line. Does it that you want (forgive my english
One of them is linear regression moving average

updated the alert. now it should only give alert once after the candle crossed the line from below or from above.
keep informed how it works

test on smaller timeframe like M1, disable email on MT4 option, observe pop up alert. if alert timing is correct, then email should be correct too. this will speed up testing

This is the situation.
1st version= we know the problems as we already spoke about it (email does not turn off after initial cross. Also its sensing the position of the opening of a candle and not where the candle closes)
2nd version (post 64)= does not seem to work with testing on the one minute chart. No email no pop up alert.
3rd final version (post 66)= also does not seem to work with testing on the one minute chart as you instructed. i tried with the email disabled and enabled. niether gave me a pop up alert or email.

OK i changed the name to A1K by entering c drive/programe files/gotrader/eperts/indicators..... i highlited the indicator and re typed the name.
Re tester..... its still in process and taking a while. i chose 1h chart and starting from yesturdat to today. i will upload it asap.
by the way, after all this is done, i will explain the rules if you are interested and thats if you trade your self. It will be a way of saying thanks.

Disregard my last post. I redownloaded the slope indicator and changed the name before it whent in the indicator folder and now it works. I also get the arrows now
The only issue is, look at the red arrow......it has not realy croosed below the bottom of the two lines evan though the new candle (after the red arrow) opened under. This is a fake signal for me and look how price shot up again.

Send me th e rules..
First set of rules.
A)Candle close above/below the A1K line (on this chart it closed below and the red arrow indicates which candle)
B) Entry is at retrace to the A1K line for short (to minimize stop loss). If the price does not retrace, let it go and don't chase it there will be plenty ocasions to enter a trade.
c) initial stop loss is the high of the candle that closed below or the low of the candle if it closes above. In this case it closed below so the stop loss would be at 113.17 entry would have been 113.00 curently price is at 112.53 so up 47 pips and......wow only risking 17 pips
But there is more. such as how many lots/positions, Take profit, trailing stop, early exit time frame, etc just digest this for now my friend.
