Hi ,

I have an indicator but not the MT4 code , I would like to create an alert based on the color change in the indicator. How can this be accomplished ?

eg it has acqua and magenta colours ,and changes based on the indicator coding ,

need to generate an alert when the color changes..

Any points to articles or similar code will be helpful!

Thanks,

hey connect....... the best start would be to name the indicator or post a picture of it..... there is a good chance we might have it.....

short of that, place the indicator on a chart and open up the data window..... find your indicator in the list...... slowly move the mouse pointer along the chart and note which buffer value is changing when the color or object changes......

with a little trial and error you can then most often target that buffer.....h

Are all those indicators that paint to your carpet running as seperate indicators or are they all being called by one indicator?

It seems to be the buffers are up and Down .

So if i understand your idea , using icustom get the value of up and down
and compare with value of previous bar if the previous bar is null or 0 then it means it is a value change ???

Thanks!!

that's market watch.... x out of that and click on the little circle to the right of market watch on the tool bar.... it should say data window......

there is a lot of things changing colors in your chart..... which one are you wanting......

a indicator name would help.....h
