Looking for a Volume Alert

  • #1
  • First Post: May 11, 2013 10:16pm May 11, 2013 10:16pm
Hi All,

I am after a volume indicator that can be set to sound an alert and send an email when volume reaches a pre-determined configurable level.

I believe there is a better volume indy getting around that alerts with a bar color change which is useful but prefer a specific value.

Thanks

Find the indicator and I'll add the alert.
Stop asking ChatGPT for broken MQL code. VisualMQL it instead.

I was wondering if an alert could be programed on the attached better volume 1.5 indicator to go off when any of the volume bars, regardless of color, crosses the floating moving average line. Thanks.

Hello FXdaytrader,

Can you add one more feature to the BetterVolume indicator? When it sends an email alert can you include the symbol of the currency pair. I look at several pairs and I don't know which pair the email alert is coming from.

Hello, I love this indicator.

Can you guys do one last modification this indi? Can you also add an alert when volume crosses a volume Level?
Thank you.

maybe somebody else will do that for you ...
btw, it could be neccessary to compile the indicator with the build 509 compiler.

Can anyone please turn this into an mq4 file? I can't permanently change the width of the bars and other settings,
its driving me nuts. It won't save the width even when I save it as a template and or profile.

thanks

All you had to do was do a search on this forum and you would have easily found the mq4 file which is what I did. I have altered the width part of the code so you should be able to save those settings now, the widths are set in the inputs. The colors however are used for the alert code so I suspect if you change the colors then the alerts may not work.

Thank you for your quick response however, this doesn't solve my problem.
I did a search as you suggested and I am unable to find the "BetterVolume 1.5a Alerts mod.mq4"
I need the mq4 file, I need to be able to change more than just the widths.

and this file " BetterVolume 1.5b Alerts.ex4" still wont allow the width to stay, if I change t/f for example it still goes back to width 4.

Yes it does hold the width you must be altering the width in the color window? Look at my previous reply

Sorry you are correct the BetterVolume 1.5a Alerts mod mq4 ver​sion is only available as an ex4 the one I found was BetterVolume 1.5a Alerts mq4 perhaps ask fxdaytrader to help as it appears he did the modifications.

Ah. Thank you for taking the time to do that.
That works to store the width settings, and I will ask fxdaytrader on PM.

Now if I can just manage to get a version of "BetterVolume 1.5b Alerts.ex4" that would let me input what it says when it gives an alert signal, I'd have everything. ;-)

Hi Cja,

Can you please help in changing this indicator only to display and Alert the HighClimaxUp and HighClimaxDown Volume.
HighClimaxUp = Lime
HighClimaxDown = Red
Instead of email color changing from white to lightsalmon, if the Alerts look like

EURUSD M5 HIGHCLIMAXUP @ 10:00
GBPJPY M5 HIGHCLIMAXDOWN @ 10:00
Thanks !!!
