Hi Xaphod - thanks for the excellent indicators you have selflessly provided for Genesis users I find the ASCTrend1i very useful with its adjustable risk - a great way to get the arrows to suite our own trading. Do you have a version with an alert?.....and if not - I have looked - would you please consider adding a pop up and audio alert.....this would make the monitoring of multiple contracts much easir Regards Islander

You are welcome. Thanks for your many contributions to various threads here on ff.

Marty already made one with alerts:

You should probably change the name otherwise there may be complications if you use any other AscTrend indicators that call AscTrend1i:

Great, thanks. I now have it installed and working.....the only problem for me is that its pop-up box does not specify the contract. As more than half of mine are minimised, this means time lost in searching for the contract with the arrow, which rather defeats the obect of such an accurate alarm.....I will ask Marty if he is able to make the box contract specific....

Edit: Fixed. Previous version had code for MT4.5

All working well.....one last question ....the sound played is the standard MT4 alert. How can I change the .wav file to one of my choice that is specific to this indicator?

- The sound file must be of the WAV format.
- Put the sound files you want to use in the ../Metatrader4/Sounds/ folder or a sub-folder thereof.
- Enter the name of the sound file in the Alert_Sound parameter. Ex Alert_Sound="myalert.wav" or Alert_Sound="myalerts\eu_alert.wav".
- Sit back and enjoy your alerts.

OK, I've entered "whistle.wav" and "alert3.wav" which are 2 of my sounds......but it still plays the standard alert sound.....I have also rebooted the program....no change. Whilst I would like to try the other option, I can not find the backslash on either of my Spanish keyboards - none of the suggestions in google work.....

There must be a backslash on your keyboard. It is an essential windows character. According to the google, it is ALT-GR + o (to the left of 1). Failing that one can always copy and paste the character from charmap.exe or somewhere else.

Anyway, that is not the issue. When one uses both the 'popup alert' and the 'playsound' functions at the same time in MT4 indicators, the sound from the popup alert overrides the sound from playsound. Therefore, you cannot have both. Use one or the other.

Interestingly, it works the other way round in scripts and EAs. Playsound overrides the Alert sound.

Edit: Corrected backslash key

Thanks, I was looking at the 0 next to 9, not the º & ª next to 1.....

So as the popup shows the contract, there is no option but to use whatever .wav file we have named as "alert" and there is no option to even insert a sound file via Meta Editor?

Either way, many thanks and have a great weekend

You can change the sound file associated with the alert dialog via tools->options->events. There is no other way I know of.

A possible solution would involve using a dll to create ones own dialogs or to call a script to play a sound that would hopefully override the Alert sound. Which is not trivial.

Thanks - I had forgotten that - I have been changing content of the "alert" sound file which is a longer process....

Figure I should ask here before bothering the main thread. Has anybody seen their MTF stoch glitch out like this (picture)? Only seems to happen on my M1 windows, the M5 are fine. Never seen this before but I just moved to a new computer that has windows 8, so I wasn't sure if it was a MT4 build update or my OS that's causing it.


Thanks in advance,

Lan

Someone should report it to Metaquotes as a bug. It should reasonably behave the way it does in scripts & EAs.

Anyway, I have realized that there is a workaround. If one disables the sound for the Alert function, the sound files will play.
Main menu -> Tools->Options->Events Doubleclick on 'Alert' in the event column. A red cross should appear on the bell icon denoting deactivation of the sound.

Hi Xaphod,

Hope you're well.

I was wondering whether you might have come across an indicator in your arsenal that has the ability to plot a line on the candle at which stochs exit the OB/OS areas?

Here is a screenshot (done manually).

No probs if not but I couldn't find one and thought you'd be the best person to ask.

Sorry, I do not have an indicator that does that.
