Looking for alerts on large bars/candlesticks

Hi all,
I am looking for an indicator or EA that can issue email alerts whenever a large bar/candlestick appears, either an absolute pip amount like if a bar is >= 20 pips from high to low, an email goes out, OR, a relative pip amount, like the bar is X times greater in size than the average of the last 50 bars. I know that hanover used to have his kong bar indicator available to the public, but I don't think it is available any longer. I am basically looking for something like that, since it worked well.

I have tried searching through the forums, but everything I download doesn't seem to work.

Thank you for your help!!

Also, wondering if this can be done before the 1 min bar closes - e.g. if a 20 pip difference exists between the hi and lo of the current candle, that should trigger an alert/email.

Thanks!

Hi Cyber1, sorry to bother you, but while the indie you provided is nice, do you know of a version of it that can have knowledge/monitor the current candle forming, such that when placed on a M1 chart, it will kick out an alert when it meets its conditions immediately, instead of having to wait for the current candle to close? That way, if say a 30 pip move happens within the first 10 seconds of a new minute, you won't have to wait another 50 seconds to receive the alert.

Thank you,
Will

Try changing:
Inserted Code
double TotalLength = NormalizeDouble((High[shift+1]-Low[shift+1])/Poin,Digits);

to:
Inserted Code
double TotalLength = NormalizeDouble((High[shift]-Low[shift])/Poin,Digits);
