Can Someone Please Add An Alert To This Indicator

Hello,
I was wondering if someone could add an alert to this indicator whenever it changes color. What I mean by changing color is this: there are three colors that this indicator displays (white, green, red). At the close of the current bar if the color has changed from the previous bar I would like an alert to let me know. Many thanks in advance!!

Try this . . not tested properly, done some preliminary testing in the ST.

Seems to be working.

Raptor,
Thanks for your time on this!! I will give it a try and let you know how it turns out.

Raptor,
I was out of the room, and when I came back in the color had changed. I looked at the pop up alert box but it showed no alert for the indicator. Will the pop up alert box show the alert when it occurs like it does with other indicators? If not, could you make it so it does show so I know it is working? Thanks!!

It's working for me . . .

It works when there is a change in colour between bars 2 and 1 . . . not bars 1 and 0

Just alerted . . .

Raptor, I wonder what's wrong that it won't alert on my chart? I have not changed any of the values under the inputs tab except to set the alert to true. I am running this on a 5 min chart. The color was white and it went to red, no alert and then it went from red to green, no alert. Any suggestions? This is a demo account and the the broker I am using is MB Trading. Here is there link: http://www.mbtrading.com/

I have two 2 other indicators on the chart that are giving alerts and they are showing up in the alert box so I know that part of metatrader is working ok. I hope with this information that you could tell me what to do to make this indicator alert correctly on my system. Thanks for all your help!! I really appreciate it!!!

I'll try it on M5 also, did you set the Timeframe to 5 or put it on an M5 chart ? or both ? The default setting for Timeframe is H4 (240 mins)

I just left the default time frame on the indicator 4hrs (240min) as is and attached it directly to an M5 chart.
I have to go to work now but I will look for your response when I get home. Again, thanks for all your time in helping me out on this problem. Have a great evening!!

In that case it will only alert at the most every 4 hours . .

Raptor, even though it's set for 4 hours, how come when it changes on the 5 min chart it won't alert? Is there a way to add to the code so it will? What do you suggest?

-Faith Trader

I was using the setting from TimeFrame to determine if the next Alert should be shown or not, I have now adjusted this to use Period() (chart timeframe) . . this should do what you need now.

Thanks Raptor, I will try it out when I get a chance and let you know how it works!!

Hi Raptor, seems to be working. I know that the indicator can repaint and I was wondering if there's something you could do to fix that. Maybe the way the indicator is written it can't be, but if there is a way so it won't repaint and still alert when there is a color change that would be great. Please let me know what you think. And many thanks for the great work on the alert!! It's much appreciated!!!
