Popup alert when price hits a certain number

Is there a popup alert feature where it'll alert/popup when price reaches a certain number?

Something like the "Right click>Alert>Sounds", but instead of just playing a Sound, I want a popup+sound.

Is there something inbuilt into Mt4 already? Can't seem to figure it out

use the forumsearch/google, there are lots of price alerts, trendline alerts etc. available
PM me with coding requests and I'll probably put you on my ignore list

At the bottom of the tade window you will see a tab called "Alerts"
Open this tab and right click inside it and set your alert

Is this for you? -> http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...78#post7089278

Pls. search for yourself and test the indicators (you may compile them with the build 500 mql4editor compiler). And if needed we could modify them.

I downloaded a whole bunch of different ones to test and only 1 managed to roughly get what I want which was the HLine_Alert.

However sometimes I have a whole bunch of currency pairs and I'd like the popup to display the pair. The ones I've can't seem to get it to work.

I have modified it, it should work as expected now, pls. try
alerts available (all optional): popup, sound, email, pushnotification
if createline=true it will create a trendline at price LinePrice with the name LineName etc.
if false you will have to create the line with the name specified in "LineName" manually

Oh no!

Realized there's an issue where the horizontal line will "disappear" after a period of time. Woke up overnight and found all of them gone. I was using the createline=false . Currently testing to see if the same problem happens with createline=true.

is DeleteLineAfterAlert=true?

or was the line deleted by other indicators/ea (objectsdeleteall)? The indicator does only check if the line exists, if there is no line it will not create the line (except on startup if chose so)...

It's set to true, however the price Nv came close to the line. There's only a spread indicator on my charts...hmm...

I wasn't around at the comp, but price didn't reach there, and there wasn't a pop-up.

Here is another alternative although there is no pop-up

Hi Alfis...may not be what you want and sorry if you already know this..

I use price alerts in my trading on a daily basis. I've tried most of the others ie Horizonal lines etc..They are good but you need to have multiple charts opened to get the alert (unless I am missing something..)

MT4 build 600+ has really modified the price alert feature and it is now much more user friendly, has a one click feature and its as easy as 1-2-3 to set and modify multiple alarms.

1. Choose the currency pair you wish to set an alarm
2. put your cursor on the chart where you would like to set a price alarm...( it may not be exact, but really close)
3. Right close your mouse
4. Choose "trading" from the dropdown menu
5. Click alarm and bingo your alarm is set with a orange arrow to right of the screen
6. Cool is that you can drag the arrow and adjust the price
7. You have a variety of choices as to how to be alerted, alarm expiry dates,,etc..

Hope this helps!

Happy Holidays!!!

Hey thanks for your help. Actually used those previously, however if there's 10+ charts and one rings, won't know which is the one that rings and gotta slowly find them all. Or if it rings when I'm away for a min, at least when I came back it'll be good to see a pop-up which chart needs attention

Yes I agree with the popup scenario, the mt4 alarm is a bit inconvenient...On the alert, I recorded a sound which speaks each currency pair.
