E-Mail Alert Not Working! Please Help!

Hello,

I was hoping that someone who knows how to read code on MT4 indicators could take a look at this indicator. There is already an email alert option, but I have never received an email alert. I know that my email alerts are working because I get them form a couple of other indicators. When you load the indicator, you will see vertical red and green lines if the printbars selection is set to true under the settings. What I would like is if a red vertical line appears at the closing of the current bar and the previous bar was green or if a green vertical line appears at the closing of the current bar and the previous bar was red then it would be nice to receive an email alert. Please remember though, the email alert for the the color change needs to be after the closing of the current price bar and not while the price bar if forming.
Thanks for your help and I really appreciate your time!!

You can't have Alerts and Email, turn Alerts off (AlertON = false) and you will get email . . . poor coding but that is how it works.
20 pips a day isn't too much to ask . . .

Hi RaptorUK,

I set the "AlertOn" setting to false and kept the EmailON setting at "true" as per your instructions, and I am still not getting any email alerts when the color changes. Any thoughts??

Thanks,

RaptorUK,

Thanks again for taking the time to look at the indicator. If it's ok with you, don't worry about trying to figure out why the email is not working on the indicator. I was searching through the FF website today and came across an indicator that I have attached here. Could you please add an email alert to it? Basically, the alert would be if the red dot changes to blue or if the blue dot changes to red after the close of the current bar. If the email could say something about which way the change is that would be fantastic. It would be a great help if you could do this. I appreciate your time.

Thanks,

Faithtrader

Give this ago I have tried it and it works for me on MT4 build 509 both on Popup and Email Alerts, make sure that your MT4 email is set up correctly.

Hello cja,

Just wanted to let you know that the email alert you added is working great!!! Thank you so much I really appreciate it!!! I was was just wondering if you could add an additional setting. If you look under the current settings that are available you will see that you can set the EMA period as well as the Stochastic period. If you have the time, could you add a setting so a person could set a number for the overbought and oversold levels? Basically, what I was thinking was whatever number a person would set these numbers to, you would not get an email alert unless the color change actually happened above the overbought level or below the oversold level. That way if the color changes in between the overbought or oversold levels there would be no alert. Again, thank you for your time and the email alert!!

Hi,

For email alert you need to require proper email server setup and keep Email alerts 'ON'

Here is screenshot how I did..... I prefer to setup gmail... Its free service and works nice...

Hello cja,

Just wanted to give you an update on the indicator. It appears to be working great by not sending email alerts in between the overbought and oversold levels when color changes happen. That sure saves a lot of time by not having to look at every color change. What is happening though is I am getting email alerts on all color changes above the overbought level and I assume it will give all color changes below the oversold levels too. It would be great if the email alert would only be sent when the the color changes from blue to red when it's above the overbought level or from red to blue when it's below the oversold level.

I looked back at my other post and I noticed that I did not say anything about that. My apologies to you. When I was writing the post that's what I had in mind, but I sure missed the boat on that one. LOL

If you could make the changes for the alerts, I would really appreciate it!! Thanks for everything!!!

Hi,
I do not have time to test it today so it will have to wait until either later tonight or early next week.

cja,

Sorry I did not answer your question the first time. I had to edit this post because for some reason your entire post came into my email, but it did not show up above. I had already put up the post and then I saw my email.

From what I can see, both the pop up as well as the email alert are working the same. They are giving both long and short alerts above and below the overbought and oversold levels. The example you gave me in your post is exactly right. All long(buy) signals above the overbought level as well as any short(sell) signals below the oversold level should be ignored and not trigger an alert. The other signals that are generated in between the oversold and overbought levels which you programmed not to trigger an alert is working fine as far as I can see. It's just in the oversold and overbought areas where it is not triggering correctly.

No problem on the time, there's no rush. I appreciate what your doing. Have a great evening!!

I have changed some areas of the Alert code plus added in the option to have the original dots or lines, the Alerts appear to be working ok now so I will test it when the markets open just to make sure.

Everything appears to be working correctly now, if you use the solid line for the display instead of the dots you may get the odd instance where it appears that a false signal is given however that is due to the line version repainting 1 bar back and covering the colored signal bar if you change to the dotted version the signal bar will show. See attached screenshots.
As before any issues please let me know.

Thank you cja!! I just put it into action and will let you know how it goes!!

cja, you have been very generous with your time and talent and I greatly appreciate it. At this time, I have one more indicator that I am using that does not have an email alert. Would you be willing to take a look at it and add the email alert? If you have the time and would be willing to do so, it would be a great help to me. I have attached the indicator to this post so you can take a look at it if you want to. If you decide to look at it you will see different colored x's. Everything is hard to see unless you increase the width size under the color tab, then you will be able to see what I am referring to. The only email alerts there should be, is when either a blue box with a blue x or a pink box with a pink x shows up on the current bar at the close of it.

Please let me know what you decide. Thanks again for the new version of the Robby DSS!!!

Hi
The indicator had built in alerts that could not be turned off so I have added the Email Alerts to the 2 Alerts you require and added inputs so that you can have Email or Popup window alerts and turn them on and off I also and removed the other 2 alerts that you do not need.

Hello CJA,

Just wanted to let you know that the StrenghtWeakness BB Alerts v1.0 is having an issue. Early this morning a signal was placed on the chart, but no alerts. After I looked at the settings and hit the ok button, the signal on the chart was no longer there. I figured that was ok because no alerts were sent. Then this afternoon I had a signal placed on the chart and I did get both the pop-up and email alerts. I thought everything was ok until I closed the MT4 platform and opened it again only to find that the signal which I received alerts for was gone. Is there anyway to stop the indicator from doing this?

Thanks,

-Faithtrader

Hi,
The issue is the way the original indicator is written as it uses a combo of previous and current data, it could be fixed however the signals would appear later.
