4H Stochs Email Alert Code Help Please

 // create a static variable which will remember it's value between function calls
    static datetime tLastAlert = 0;
    
    // if there hasn't been an alert this bar, and conditions for alert exist
    // then fire an alert and update last alert timestamp
    if(tLastAlert < Time[0] && A_Bunch_Of_Other_Conditions_Met) {
        SendMail("Take a look","something happened.");
        tLastAlert = Time[0];
    }

Martaroony,


I am not sure if this will help you but have you looked in the terrminal under alerts and changed the the Maximum Iterations fromm 1,000 to 1?


Hope this helps,

Will give you a hand when I'm home tonight.

I assume you're using end of bar values?

Tesla and group,

I have been impressed with your coding and kind interactions with Marty and I was wondering if you could take a look at my expert which is 'supposed' to send an email when a 18 EMA crosses the 45 EMA, and then again when the 18 EMA crosses the 72 EMA. This is a modified Corn Flower system which I would love to get to work. I previously had the same problem as Marty, where I was receiving an email every 10 seconds and then timed out my max emails sent per day through my ISP gateway. I took the advice of a fellow forum member and included a snippet of code to combat this, but not it won't send emails at all. I would of course like only one email, so if you could help at all I would be in your debt. Thanks in advance, and thanks for being active on the thread.

Somehow with trial and error i managed to tweak settings to give alerts when entering 80/20 region... If someone can please continue to help incorporating \"price above/below EMA\" factor where eventually \"alert will pop up if %K goes above 80 and price is below 200EMA, or else %K dips below 20 and price above 200EMA\"... Someone please... {file}

{quote} your statement above is in confict: you say it currently alerts if enter 80/20 region but the EMA + Stoch you are requesting says exits 80/20 region? which is it that you want ?

{quote} Okay, I'll make an attempt to make things more clear through a picture attached [wherein i desire "buy alert" when stochastic is dipping below 20 and price is above 200EMA; "sell alert" when stochastic is going above 80 and price is below 200EMA]. Originally the indicator was giving "every" alert whenever Stochastic was dipping below 80 after being overbought, and when Stochastic was going above 20 after being oversold. After modification, Stochastic is now giving alert whenever it is entering overbought/oversold zone. But i'm unable to...
