MJ - MasterALERT - (System)s)

Now the SubALERT:==BarInMaZone ( basically similar config process)

I comment only for the part which differ.

____SubALERT_2____ = "== BarInMaZone ==";

bActivate_BarInMaZone = true;
bBarInMaZone_MasterALERT = true;
bBarInMaZone_VAlert = true;

bBarInMaZone_VLineMovePlot = false; Note this is some special thing: normal way of plotting VLine Alerts is to plot them 1 Chart bar after the look in the chart. (The MasterALERT only uses such).
read the docu for more explanation why.

For the separate SubALERT BarInMaZone Vline I made this switch to more easily see if the really report correctly.


IMPORTANT: plot SubALERT Vline: Window 3
iBarInMaZoneVLineSubWindow = 3


__BarInMaZoneIncludeMAs__ = ".. BarInMaZone INCLUDE ..";
similar as we had with the previous SubALERT:

We need EMA 10,21

bBarInMaZone_InclMA1 = true;
bBarInMaZone_InclMA2 = true;
bBarInMaZone_InclMA3 = false;
bBarInMaZone_InclMA4 = false;
bBarInMaZone_InclMA5 = false;
bBarInMaZone_InclMA6 = false;


So that's for the SubALERT:==BarInMaZone

So nearly finished: We have enabled:

MA-SECTION

MaOrder SubALERT

BarInMaZone SubALERT


But nowhere did we configure the MA themselves.

__MACalculation__ = "*** MA Calculation ***

IMPORTANT: you must enable exactly the MA your SubALERTs need - no more no less - no other

(this is to avoid unnecessary calculation of MA ( or in the long term of many other indicator resources which are not used - anyway normally I do check such input for errors - except I forgot something

So We activated: MA1, MA2, MA3 for the Ma Order and MA1, MA2 for BarInMaZone



________MA1________ = "== MA1 DEFINITION ==";
bCalulateMA1 = true;
iMA1Method = 1; //MA1: Method: 0=SMA, 1=EMA. >*/
iMA1Period = 10;

________MA2________ = "== MA2 DEFINITION ==";
bCalulateMA2 = true;
iMA2Method = 1;
iMA2Period = 21;

________MA3________ = "== MA3 DEFINITION ==";
bCalulateMA3 = true;
iMA3Method = 0; Note MA3 should be SMA so set it to 0
iMA3Period = 50;

________MA4________ = "== MA4 DEFINITION ==";
bCalulateMA4 = false;
iMA4Method = 1;
iMA4Period = 50;

________MA5________ = "== MA5 DEFINITION ==";
bCalulateMA5 = false;
iMA5Method = 1;
iMA5Period = 100;

________MA6________ = "== MA6 DEFINITION ==";
bCalulateMA6 = false;
iMA6Method = 1;
iMA6Period = 200;

So that was it - I hope I did not forget anything

Note: as we do not plot any indicator lines, histogram etc... you will not see any additional info in the Data Window: so make double sure you set the correct Values in the input tab.

Anyway: this is the outcome.

To save a template: the fastest way I do it to delete first all objects http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...07#post5084307
of the charts.


Than save the template.

at a first glance it seems to work as it should

1.
SubWindow1: MasterALERT:
Produces only Alerts when the two SubALERT are in Agreement.

(Note the BarInMAZone does not produce UP/DN direction but just a Single ALERT In MAZone.)

2.
SubWindow2: SUbALERT: MaOrder:
seems to produce correct past alerts ( at least they seem to fit with my old alerter)

3.
SubWindow3: SUbALERT: BarInMAZone:
seems to work correct: note it does plot as planned 1 bar after the old BarInMaZoneAlerter.

And here a bigger pic with the MasterALERT

iMasterAlertOptionWhen = 1 ( before I had it set to 0)

Only the first occurrence of a new direction Alert change is Alerted


You can see even for the sirts small implementation there are plenty of option to configure etc..

As this is a M5 system with the BarInMAZone using quite small values: EMA10,21 one will get more often Alerts.

So, I'm unsure if that example is a good one for demonstrating to get woken up for a setup.

This gives me a new idea: maybe I implement something like a Time SubALERT: meaning only in a defined Time Period Master Alerts are produced.

That might be actually quite useful. e.g. one wants to sleep during the Tokio session and only wake up with the first preferred chart setup in the London session.


I will try that.

Posting a MasterALERT indicator as a very early pre-view.

Templates included : (I adjusted the template (remove the old Alerts) you might want to enable sound email alerts too etc..

For the final template you will need:
Additionally you will need this other indicators:

from MJ - My Indicators:
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=285687

op3MA_0.00.ex4
EmptySubWindow_0.00.ex4

Implemented SubALERT: TimePeriodOne
This is based on Local Computer Time and only works with Live Data (Past Data are just skipped as if it would not be activated at all)


Can not test as it is weekend - if it works I will probably add a second maybe even third similar option.

Started to think about the MTF implementation:

Have some ideas and I started test coding bits of it. This will be different than how I did it in my other indi so it will break quite a bit of code.

Anyway: will see if it works at all - just a test try--

* look into using MTF Intervals lower than the chart interval
RE-Opened it

I'm going to look into this again: I rethought it today and there are no 'real' good reason why this can not work out.

Only think is that my old existing codes I did not allow such (which is still something to think about).

I guess I will give it a new go - as soon as I find time.

This thread is officially on hold.
(but anyone can still post here if they want)


The time has come to say goodbye to ForexFactory:
Due to planned major changes in my life, I won't be around any more.

Don't look for me where I can not be found

hi M_j,
just to let you know: I found a small error in your MasterALERT code.

in: DoAlertLRun for the BarInMaZone SubALERTs you use the FireSubVLineAlertPRun (for past data instead the function for the live ticks.) probably a small copy error.

BTW: I'm re coding something similar to your MasterALERT.

just to let you know that I implemented many of your ideas (and some of your code) into my own version of MasterALERT: For more info see.
