EMA crossover Email Alert

Heh Heh...


Sorry mate, change the #Define statements to #define

...or if you have trouble with that just change them to Integer definitions

like:

int Bullish = 1;
int Bearish = -1;

Same difference.

Will teach me for not testing it!

Hi DOF,

//cross up
if ((ema3prev<=ema20prev) &&(ema3>ema20prev))
{
L[i] = Low[i] - 2* Point();
}

//cross down
if ((ema3prev>=ema20prev) &&(ema3<ema20))
{
H[i] = High[i] + 2 * Point();
}


Is your logic correct ?

Crossup is using previous bar &&(ema3>ema20prev)) and crossdown is not using previous bar &&(ema3<ema20)).

Please help to explain. Thanks.

Damn...

I'll have to play with it.
I won't have time till probably later in the week though. Got a 12 hours or more of driving to do in a little while.

I'll actually test it when I get back. Unless someone pipes up before then.

I'll get back to you then.

BTW, Try and removing the expert from the chart and reattatching it too when changes don't seem to do anything.

MetaTrader's a bit funny with stuff like that, I've found.

It's also weird with global variables. Since I started playing with it I've found I've had to start from scratch with a particular indicator/expert because the globals don't "hold" there values between executions of the routines.

Try and confirm that 34EMA_state and it's friend aren't resetting or something. They might be NULL EVERY time the start function runs. That'd cause the alerts to keep triggering.

You could reverse the state test. EXAMPLE:

Currently...

if (FASTEMACURRENT > SLOWEMACURRENT && FASTEMAPREVIOUS < SLOWEMAPREVIOUS && 34EMA_state != Bullish )

...to test that it isn't allready set to Bullish.

Change to...

if (FASTEMACURRENT > SLOWEMACURRENT && FASTEMAPREVIOUS < SLOWEMAPREVIOUS && 34EMA_state == Bearish )

...to test that it's the OPPOSITE (Bearish) state at the moment and needs changing to Bullish.

If this causes alerts to stop completely, you'll know that the EMA_State etc aren't holding at all. Pain in tha ass.

Solution to that? I'd have to play with. LOL

I suspect a few bugs scurrying around in MT4 still. Doesn't make it any easier.

Does anyone here know how to program Email Alert for EMA crossover in MT4 ?

I am looking 1 hr chart for price crossover 34 EMA + 3 pips = Email Alert.

Any expert here can help with MT4 programming ?

Thanks.
do you need it on bar close?

otherwise it will result on 200 e-mail spam per hour when the price will chop around the ema.

if you have the EA i can send you the code to copy and paste in it. (very simple)

bundyraider,

Above suggestion doesn't yield any alerts at all.

well, it's not so simple to solve and I have been pondering about it a while, too.

how would you like it to be logically? when the first cross is made, an alert, when it moves back, let's say in the same minute, what then? another alert, or ignore?

i partly solved it this way:
if a cross is made during a bar, I send an alert and no more alers during the same bar (a current bar check). then when the bar closes it either confirms the corss or not. there are a lot of pips between these two stages but still, it is better that the chop. I enter a trade on the first signal of cross, and if it confirms I add some more, if it doesnt confirm, I consider exiting if stoploss is not hit yet.

Ha. I await for good news then. Please help to edit my EA with yr solution and post it up. Thanks.

Well, the crossover is an alert and not necessary an entry. Lookover the 4 hr chart to give u better idea. If u are not sure, then let ema89 crossover be yr entry pt. BTW, this is used on 1hr chart.

But to test out the EA thoroughly, i test it out on 1 min chart.. hahaha !!!

if you set your EA to run on every tick, then you don't need to run it on 1min.

This is going back somewhat, but I am just trying to recieve emails based on certain price levels being hit in MT4 under the alerts tab.

The input setting for MT4 are

SMTP server:
SMTP login:
SMTP password:
From:
To:

Could anyone who has successfully set this up explain how they did it?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Put the emaalert file in C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts as this is an EA. Start yr MT4 and insert it into yr chart.

SMTP server:
SMTP login:
SMTP password:
From: your email
To: designated email

Once the crossover is done, email alert is sent. To verify it fast, use the EA in 1min chart.

The SMTP entries refer to information you have set up with your ISP. The same as your ISP email settings. The From setting is your ISP email address. The To setting is the email address or SMS address you want the message sent to. You can only use one address.
