Try this . . . it compiles but I haven't tested it. I added an option,

SendEmailAlert = true;


set this to true if you want an email at the same time as an Alert, you will need to configure and test your email in the MT4 Tools>Options>email

Merry Christmas

RaptorUK beat me to it so I guess now you have two to choose from. If I hadn't already started on it I wouldn't post but both completed about the same time so here is my version.

I tested cyber1 and RaptorUK both of your indicators, both of your indicators email option works I liked the cyber1's one as you have added currency pair to show on email that will help if using on more than one pair. Only problem I noticed was some times I receive like 30 emails I think instead of sending the last alert sends all the alerts in the alert popup box.

I could avoid receiving all history alerts if I know how to clean the popup alerts before enable email option on MT4 options. Do you know how I can clean the history? or is it possible to fix the indicator to email only last alert?

Thank for taking your time to add the email option.

Forex Scan-
I'm unable to reproduce such an error as you describe.

If I understand you correctly you put the indicator onto a chart and over the course of the day at some point it sent you 30 emails at once?
Or are you saying when you start up your MT4 platform it generates 30 emails?
Have you tried other indicators that have the email alert and do they do the same thing?

As far as cleaning history as far as I know there is no such thing in MT4. As an alert is generated it instantaneously sends an email to your email client.

Thank for your response cyber1, Please see screen shot. To generate to send 30 email what I did was opened the MT4 priceactionind was already loaded in past at the time I opened the chart it was on 4hour time frame I kept going down on time frame when I reached M5 got the alert and started sending 30 emails. when I compare the emails sent and alert on the popup box all alerts was generating at the same time (check time stamp on alert box)

If this is not happening to you then I don't know if anything to do with OS I am using XP I can try on a windows 7 if that's what you tested on.

Once again thank you for taking time to check.

I think we can rule out the OS. Not much chance that that's the problem.

I was not able to reproduce the error that you described.
What I did was I added a timestamp to the email and the alert so that we know which bar triggered the alert to see if they match. I've only tested this in the Strategy Tester but even on a M5 time frame it's given me one alert and one email per triggered alert.

Thank you cyber1, I will try the new file. I am happy with the receiving email funtion even if I receive about 30 email I just delete all emails when I check the chart and ready to receive next email.

Unfortunately somebody converted an EA to an indicator which was created on this sitehttp://sufx.core.t3-ism.net/ExpertAdvisorBuilder/. I dislike working on those EA's as it is. Now that somebody saw fit to convert an EA to an indicator even less interested.
It would make more sense to write an indicator from scratch if you were to outline what it does, it can't be that difficult, one that works properly as far as alerts and email. I could probably figure it out from the file but I just don't have time.
