Please Add Alarm

Hello,

I was hoping that someone could add an email and pop-up alarm on this indicator. It would be nice if the pop-up had sound too. What I am looking for is when the indicator changes from red to blue or blue to red that the alarm will pop-up with sound and send me an email also.

I appreciate your help and time with this.

Sincerely,

Faithtrader

Sorry about that. I forgot to show the settings of the indicator. If this is needed to add the alarms, I wanted to be sure to post them.

Thanks Again,

Faithtrader

Try This.

Thanks Gvc, I will give it a try and let you know what happens.

Hi Gvc!! The alarm appears to be working fine, but I was wondering if you could add the option for an email alert.

Many Thanks,

Faithtrader

Try this. I have not tested it.

Unfortunately i am unable to EDIT my previous post, otherwise i would have posted there.

Thanks Gvc, I am going to install it right now and try it. I will let you know how it turns out.

Hi Gvc, when I returned home today, the pop up alarm display was open. As I looked at it there were many many alerts for this indicator, but the color has not changed on the indicator since yesterday. There should not be any alerts at all today. Only when the color changed yesterday. Any thoughts on why this is happening?

Thanks,

Faithtrader

The reasons i can think of, is that if your mt4 platform loses connection it will set off the alert once it connects again. Another reason can be where it crosses on the current bar. (Where the HA bars are at their smallest.)

If this is not the case, then monitor it and if necessary i will change the alert code.

Regards

Hi Gvc!! Just wanted to give you some information I observed early this morning. I received an email alert for a buy and when I went and looked at the screen, sure enough the indicator had changed to blue. Then a little while later, I received 16 email alerts. When I went and looked at the screen again there was no blue on the indicator. The indicator only was showing red, the blue bars that were there previously were gone. This tells me that it had repainted. I thought this indicator did repaint, but haven't used it for many months. Even though it does repaint, I still think it could be a useful indicator. With that being said, I was wondering if you could take a look at the code and see if you could change it so it would not repaint. I also just wanted to let you know the alerts you added are working great. Thanks again for all your help!!

Hello Gvc, I am posting an image of a few of the many alarms. You can see how they just keep coming. I was just wondering if you had come to any conclusions on how to possibly fix this indicator. Looking forward to your findings.

Thanks,

Faithtrader

I sent you a PM on the correct use of the indicator to avoid repainting on the current bar.

Hi Gvc, I did get your message and set the indicator to your recommendation. But something is not right. Could you please load the indicator on your computer and set it to the setting you mentioned to me and see what it does. When I put in the -1 on the shift, it sets the indicator back over 40 bars. There is nothing on the current bar. I have included a screen shot of what it looks like. Thanks!!

Hi Faith Trader

Yes, that is the problem with mtf indicators.

If you set your indicator to M15 on a M15 chart, and shift to -1 then it will only go back 1 bar.
If set mtf on H1 on a M15 chart, then it will go back 4 bars.

As it is set on on H4 and used on M5, then with a shift of -1 it will go back 12 x 4 bars. (240 / 5)

Sorry not much i can do with that.

Gvc,

Thank you for all your help and all the information. I will keep in mind what you said about the mtf indicators.

By the way, do you live trade the Forex market?

Thanks Again,

Faithtrader
