Adding alert to Engulfing Candle indicator

I wonder if anyone would be happy to help, or point me in the right direction. I would like a pop-up & email alert adding to this engulfing candle indicator. I've hunted high and low and the only indicators I can find with the pop-up show outside bars (H L outside of previous candle H L), but I want engulfing (O C outside of previous candle OC) regardless of wicks.

I've tried coding myself, but I get all sorts of weird things (ie multiple alarms, indicator caught in a sound loop etc).

Please would someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction, happy to keep trying to code myself, but can't seem to get it right.

this can happen if I do not test the indicators (and nobody points me to that stuff, see old thread ... ).
pls. try again

edit: ibis asked for another engulfing-alert, I do not know if the logics is different, but maybe it could also worth a try: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...77#post7496077

Hi fxdaytrader - please would you be kind enough to post or PM the editable source code for this. I have changed the signal logic slightly, but the version I have done it in does not have the alerts function that you added to this version.

Thanks

Hi,
is it possible to make alert when bid price > 1.5 * ask price and there's bearish engulfing , only after it gives alert?
basically adding L2 data with engulfing candles.

Hi FX Day Trader, (Or anyone willing and able to assist...)

I have downloaded your Engulfing candle indicator. I am grateful, thank you for that - Would you consider adjusting it for me to do the following?

Providing an audio signal with pop up to identify pair and arrow on chart signal only if three of the four, or all four of the previous bars were in the opposite direction to the trade anticipated if entering off the new direction the engulfing candle dictates?
To sum up... if engulfing bar indicates short - 3, or all four of the previous candle sticks would have to be long.

I thank you in anticipation of the assisting spirit which is so constant in this forum... hence my using this more than any other.

Hello, is it possible for you guys to help me to create an indicator/signal for the following:

Timeframe: 5 mins

FOR BUY
-a "green" candle will close above the high of a previous "red" candle

FOR SELL
-a "red candle" will close below the low of a previous "green" candle

Kindly help. Let me know if you need any clarifications.

Thanks a lot!
