Please make this Price Alert indi stay fixed on all timeframes

Hello,

Is there a way to make this price alert indicator stay put across all timeframes? The way it is now, everytime I change timeframes, it reinitializes and I have to adjust it back to where I want it. I'm not sure how difficult this would be to do. But if anyone can help, I would really really appreciate it.

Also, it would be awesome if this indi can send alert via email, as an option aside from the existing sound alert.

Thank you so much, if anyone can help me with this!

God bless!

Tony

Try this one.
Delete_on_Deinit = false; is default.

When you remove the indicator from a chart, the lines will stay.

If you want to get them deleted, you need to select
Delete_on_Deinit = true
before you detach it.

I didnīt implement the e-mail alert, have no time for that.

Hey Fxtr51,

Thanks a bunch! You're so cool! It works perfectly. A tiny inconvenience having to set the field before deinitializing. But overall it's great! Your generosity is really appreciated.

I'll wait and see if someone can code the email alert into the indi. It will make it a complete and very useful indicator, which can be widely applied by anyone.

Thanks again, my friend!

God bless.

Thank you so much, Cyber1! That was very kind of you. I've installed it in my MT4. Now just have to wait for markets to open on Monday to test it out.

Thanks again for your kind help. Much appreciated!

God bless!

I know this is an old thread but I am not understanding the instructions. I see in the code that there is an external bool for deinitializing but it doesn't show up in the menu. Maybe I'm missing something?

Also it seems that the email version does not even attach to the chart. I'm not a coder but Other than the lines not staying put when switching timeframes, this is the best indie ever for supply and demand/ support and resistance traders.

Edit: ok It's the one with the deinitial on default bool that won't attach to a chart. That is---- Chin Breakout Alert V.1.2s(mMTF)
This has external bool talked about in the quote above

The second file Chin Breakout Alert V[1].1.2s(mMTF)-- This one works on the chart but has neither email external bool and does not hold it's place when changing time frames. The Sounds work great! I attached the zip file for others.

I just saw that the email version had a dash (-) in it's name so I tried that as well. That is The one in post #4. It has all the bools but does not attach to the chart. The only one that does attach to the chart is the second one in the post#7 above

Chin Breakout Alert V[1].1.2s(m MTF) is the only one that attaches. bUt does not stay put when switching timeframes or send emails.

I have updated the code so it loads onto the new MT4 and removed the delete input and made that function automatic so no need to worry about the lines resetting when changing timeframes plus the lines delete when the indicator is removed off the chart. I have not tested the Alerts so I am presuming that they did work previously.

Thanks Cja for the updated indicator. Works great.

Any chance we could have thickness of lines & move text options ?

Sweet, Cja. Thank you! It's perfect. The above is a good suggestion. Also if you could run more than one instance of this indicator on one chart? One for short term and another for long term? I know it's a lot and beggars can't be choosers. I'm very happy with this improvement.

The only issue now is that it won't Initialize correctly when I store it on a template. I hear the alarm go off but I see no lines when It is part of a template. It's function is perfect though!

I also tried two on one chart but it seems to allow only one.

It caught my first trade already! This is going to be sweeeeeeet!@

It will never work as a template, look in the code and you will understand why. It may possibly work on the same currency pair but not on another currency pair on another chart. Save a template on EURUSD then try loading it on GBPJPY and it tries to load a EURUSD range and values, so templates are not an option.

I have upgraded it to the new MT4 ( not simply updated it to work on the new MT4 ) and added in a whole lot of new user inputs and features so now it is possible to load more than 1 indicator on the same chart, I am still presuming that the Alerts work correctly ( no one has mentioned an issue with the Alerts) as I have not looked at that part of the code. Please take the time to look at the new inputs and features and test it on a Demo first.

A small update as I had the wrong colour references ( incorrect colour names appeared in text ) for the line instructions that first appear on the chart when the indicator is loaded.

{quote} price alert is when price hit those red and blue lines? so what are those lines: high and low of the day or session?

The lines are placed on the nearest swing high and swing low of the chart. You can then click on the lines and three dots will appear. To keep it horizontal click and drag the middle dot. to make it a trend line place the first and last dot where the two points are on your trendline. I place it closer to price than the level im looking at to give me an early warning that price is approaching the level Im interested in. No more watching charts! Thanks again cja! can't wait to test sunday night!

Thank you. Just on this page there are several versions all assume that alerts are correct. So which is latest version of indicator that includes all modifications in one?

Post #12, all the others are obsolete once tests confirm that alerts work. The sounds are in post #7. These need to be unzipped and go in your sounds folder. The sounds folder is found by: Right click metatrader Icon on desktop---properties--Open file location--- sounds.

Copy and paste all sounds in that folder and restart.

You cannot access sounds like you can indicators, experts, and scripts. those are done through the platform, That is:

Open metatrader---File---open data folder---MQL----indicators

This is where the Chin Breakout Alert goes.
