Can someone add filter to this MA alert

There may have been a slight change in logic in post 18.
Option to use current or previous bar ... if use current then it can repaint as values change during the bar.
Better to use prev bar close ( mAlertBar = 1) but this will give delayed alerts if use higher TF.

Not interested in looking at more code from others. (too confusing)

No time for further mods at moment.

pls. try again, if it does not work, I (actually) cannot find the mistake (and do not want to spend too much time with searching the error), so last try version 1.2

edit: improved crossing-detection also ...

note that there should be only 1 alert per bar. if you set alertcandle=0 (current bar) and it repaints, you won't get the last alert maybe ...

Changed the logic so it should be better now (I know I said that before)

Thanks futurespec,

the most of time it's working now perfect! :-)
I dont know why it makes sometimes this error in the picture below..?
This error occurs with both settings mAlertBar = 1 or mAlertBar = 0.
But ist pretty good now.

I imagine it was because the bar temporarily met the conditions for a buy but that then changed later .... should only happen when mAlertBar = 0

I thinks it is still repainting.
Its the same case like this picture from yesterday.
You wrote:
... if use current then it can repaint as values change during the bar...

But in this picture from yesterday it didnt't repaint at the current candle, the past candle repainted. I think with this picture above is the same.

and this was from yesterday:

r .... should only happen when mAlertBar = 0

No its also happening with =1 you can check if you dont believe, I made the picture 10 min ago

But I like your indicator now :-))) Thanks

Sorry but I really cannot spend any more time on it.

For me everything appears to work fine (remember if alertbar set to 0 the conditions can change during the bar).
I think the timing and therefore the bars on mine are slightly different to yours but chart attached is working correctly I think. (MA5 = 0.84077, MA3 = 0.84078 on last alerted bar)
I had discarded the indi and have not been monitoring it as I was happy it was working OK .

You are right futurespec, my MA's are looking different than yours.
That's the reason.
Didn't know that on MT4 the MA's are different.
I try to look where is the mistake in my MA's

You choosed special setting for your MA's? I dont think.

Many many many thanks for this indicator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JeanPaul

I have it.

You chossed MA_Method=1 , I had=0.

Ok

Ok NP.
I will not swear, just smile politely :-)

Hope it helps,

Dear all,

Instead of the osma, I use the Force index. I dont know code except tweak parameters in it. I have looked at both the latest indicators from fxdaytrader and futurespec and monitored both of them in real time but unfortunately for me, futurespec's mn MA Osma v1.1 throws out so many alerts regardless of whether I set it to mid candle or candle close. On the other hand, fxdaytrader's MA OsMAfilter Crossover Alert v1.2 sends out just one alert per bar regardless of whether its set to mid candle or candle close which is lovely.

May someone therefore please help me with the attached indicator, I tweaked the MA OsMAfilter Crossover Alert v1.2 substituting the force index for the osma but failed to correctly adjust the code alert conditions even after multiple attempts.

The way the force index works is it gives a buy signal when it drops below zero and a sell signal when it rises above zero. I want to use an ema for the filter whether north or south of it ie if the ema is pointing up, then let the indicator alert whenever the force drops below zero and the reverse for shorts. The MA OsMAfilter Crossover Alert v1.2 was made with 2 MAs so I plan to use a 1 period ema for the fast ema and then a 21 period ema for the slow ema. I also dont mind the indicator being re-done with one ema instead of the original 2.

Thanks.
May the pips be with you.
