New to MT4 - can I sound an alarm on the bar close?

Is there a way to get a bar close UP or bar close DOWN sound/email alert?

So if the bar closes bearish you get a signal that says BEARISH CLOSE.

And if a bar closes bullish you get a BULLISH CLOSE.

It would be great to be able to toggle the alerts to ONE or BOTH being active. I guess you'll have to have one for the doji as well now that I think of it.

So...BEAR BULL or DOJI

Thanks in advance!

Bar Close alarm EA has a 'return' - expressions are not allows on a global scope error message after compilation. Can somebody fixes this error message problem?

Hi MaxDoom

Thank very much for your kind assistance. Is there anyway you can code a simple EA to close manual open trade/s in the same chart or/and all active charts using external input say 2 minutes (external input)before candle ends for H4 or Daily or weekly bar using the external input? I have been trying for a few days without any success.

External inputs:
extern int MinutesBeforeCandleClose =2,
extern int TimeFrame = Daily,
extern int ManualTrade = 0, (0 for manual trade in chart, 1 for all active manual trades in all charts)

I hope you can help to code this EA which is very useful for one chart trader.

I found a EA which has bettered function than I suggested "close at the end of the candle" EA.
You may get the "close at time EA" from this link

http://algofxsolution.com/mt4-close-at-time/

It is a good EA, however, there are a few tricky bits when you are entering which are as follows:

Be careful of entering local computer date, hour and minutes format is 2016.01.27 20:30 and this is not the broker time.
You must either choose close all/magic no/transaction id or by symbol and also close at market.
If you chose close by symbol input is set to true you must enter the symbol below (USDJPY) and you must also set Close at Market to be true for the EA to work If you chose "close all" and "close at market" then all trades in active MT4 screen will close at the specified time.

A very useful tool to close trade say before central bank governor speeches, interest rate and GDP announcement or close H4/Daily/weekly and monthly one bar trade just say 30 decond before closing eapecially Friday for Daily, weekly and monthly.

If you're looking for the opening of a new candle, you don't need to go through all that. Just a few lines of code in a simple indicator will suffice. Study the codes in this indicator and you'll see what I mean. regards, Zen {file}
Hi zen

thanks this indicator does what i want it to, except i do not want the pop up window to appear, i just want the audio alert to sound when a new candlestick opens on the chart in question.

Please could you or someone else make this modification for me?

Thanks again

Looking for alerts that mails me when price hits or go over horizontal line, and 2nd alerts when candle close and third alerts when second candle close.It will be great if the line stays on the chart after the alert.
If someone can help me please advise.

Thank you.

Instead of a bar close alarm or candle close alarm could you produce for us a dash board of candle close time, so we could have an over view which market would comes next to an interesting category.

Or pin point us to find an indicator dash board/ listing. Thanks
