Hi Trucco,

Here is your code modified a little:
---------------------------
double iteration = 0;

int start()
{
iteration++;
double EMA4 = iMA(NULL, 1, 8, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_TYPICAL, 0);
double EMA5 = iMA(NULL, 1, 12, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_TYPICAL, 0);

Comment("\nEMA 8: ", EMA4, "\nEMA 12: ", EMA5, "\nIteration: ", iteration);

return(0);
}
---------------------------
The last parameter of iMA function is the shift relative to the current bar the given amount of periods ago. Now if you are interested to include the current running bar in your calculation then put 0 instead of 1. If you put 1 it is the previous bar.

I have replaced PRICE_CLOSED with PRICE_TYPICAL so you can see live how the EMA value changes as the bar size changes in realtime.
Also the second parameter is 1, this means you are using M1 timeframe, I hope this is what you intend.
And finally the iteration will tell you how many times the Start() function was called since the indicator was applied on the chart.

Just load it on a 1M chart and see how it chages. Hope it helps.

Hi Soso_beton,

thanks for the hint.
I copied exactly you modified script, but doesn't work. Iterations stays always to 1, so the start() is never triggered.

Hi Robik, Im afraid is still not working. I dont know why.
the script is very simple. I have put a counter, so i know how many times the start() function is called, unless, everytime the start() is called all the variables are reset.

So the result of the script is that the counter doesn't increase, like the start() is not called anymore, and also the 2 emas stay always the same.
This is the code.

( if i restart manually the script on the graph it works, only the first call)
I compiled it as a program, maybe should be an indicator ?
Thanks very much if you can help me with this

//---


double diff,diff2;
int k=1, n=2,t=1,m,counter=0,counter1=0,lungo,corto,Z;

int init()
{


return(0);
}

int start()
{



t++;

double EMA4=iMA(NULL,1,8,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);
double EMA5=iMA(NULL,1,12,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1);


diff = EMA4 - EMA5;
diff2 = EMA5 - EMA4;



Comment("\nEMA 8",EMA4,"\nEMA 12: ",EMA5,diff,"\n",diff2,"\n",t);

return(0);

}

MT4 already has a command for sending an e-mail.

SendMail()

It'll send a message to the e-mail address specified in your MT4 preferences:-

SendMail("From your MA Crossover Expert", "MA3 has Crossed Over MA4 Blah Blah" );

Hi,

I was looking through the forum for a guide on how to learn the programming language for MT4. I realise most people would have better things to do but I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a resource on how to create EAs from scratch or make one for me. Im looking for an email alert when my 5 lwma crosses my 12 lwma and has closed crossed. I dont want to be alerted untill the 1h bar has closed and the MA's have officially closed crossed since the MAs could cross and uncross several times untill the bar has been completed. Any help anyone can give would be fantastic.
