Candle Change Indicator with alarm

  • #1
  • First Post: Nov 24, 2016 3:14pm Nov 24, 2016 3:14pm
Has anyone got or can anyone create an indicator the sounds an alarm when a candle closes on a set colour?

E.g. Bullish candles are GREEN. Bearish candles are RED.

In a downtrend I want to set the alarm to sound on the close of a Bearish candle only (red).
In an up trend i switch to sounding alarm on the close of a Bullish candle only (green)

Thanks for any help.

Nice idea but can you have the option for alarm only on candle close ?

The alarm goes off like a machine gun. Maybe a single alarm notification ?

Thanks shahed58

Edit: Can you take a look at the TF setting, I think it should inform you of a bar change on the TF that you specify in the input, not the TF of the chart
that you are viewing, is that correct ?

Hi shahed58,

great indicator.

I still have this issue that Shabs19 has indicated.
it will only give alerts on an opened timeframe.
For example, If I set an alert for the 15min chart, and I left the chart on the 1hr, it wouldn’t give the alert. Until I open the 15min chart, thats when i get the alert.

I would like to use it on 3 time frames.

Great indi, Shahed.
For my need, I have modified a little so the alarm sound can be modified.
But I failed. The sound was still alert2.wav.
I am not a programmer. I did that by looking from other indicator.
Could you please help me.
Thank you so much.

I modified in line 9 and 56.

In the image has an example of an indicator that sets the number of times the same color and it sends an alarm and then closes the cycle as in the photo.
Someone can create or indicate an indicator that does as in the photo where in the place of candles followed he has alternating candles.
I put the same candle indicator if anyone can convert it to alternate candles I would greatly appreciate it.

The indicator is still working fine. It gives alert on change of candle color . . but please be aware that it tells you about the color-change of the TWO PREVIOUS candles because it does NOT make sense to give alert on the current/running candle because the current candle

can be a GREEN candle, and then in 2 seconds it
can change to a RED candle and then AGAIN in 4 seconds it
can change back to become a GREEN candle again and again . . .
so when a candle is CURRENTLY running, it is crazy to expect an alert on its color because you can get 40 alerts in 1 minute if the candle is swinging up and down all the time ! LOL

so the indicator gives you alert on the color-change of the TWO PREVIOUS candles which have CLOSED

make sure you download the indicator attached in Post Number 9 above ^^ by "shahed59" ??

you are right that it can flood alerts.what is the use of having the alert on previous candles if I m using daily time frame.
may be it is useful when im using 4 hour following the bias of daily,but still I don't see the use of this indicator because it is lagging and history,
thanks for your information,please enlightened me how and why ppl use it.thanks

well, timeframes are really all about how you choose to slice the time

if we talk about the so-called DAILY timeframe . . .

(a) to you, you see it as ONE candle that runs for 24 hours before it closes

(b) but someone else looking at an H1 chart, he sees YOUR EXACT same Daily Candle as 24 separate candles with each candle lasting for 1 hour

(c) and then again someone else who is looking at a 15 minute chart, he sees YOUR EXACT same Daily Candle as 96 separate candles with each candle lasting for 15 minutes

(d) and then again someone else who is looking at a 5 minute chart, he sees YOUR EXACT same Daily Candle as 288 separate candles with each candle lasting for only 5 minutes

therefore, if you want to catch the COLOR of a DAILY candle at the BEGINNING of the day WHILE it is STILL RUNNING . . let me assume that you want to CATCH your DAILY candle within its FIRST five minutes . . you must simply switch to a 5 minute chart at the BEGINNING of the DAY (first HOUR of DAY, first MINUTE of DAY) . . if the FIRST FIVE minute candle is CLOSING as GREEN candle . . then most certainly your DAILY candle will also be a GREEN candle already by that time . . but it (your DAILY candle) will be very-very tiny and hard to see because it still has 23 hours 55 minutes to go . . but trust me, No matter how small it is . . your DAILY candle WILL BE a GREEN candle if the first FIVE MINUTE candle (of the DAY) has closed as a GREEN candle

i hope you DO KNOW that a GREEN candle WHILE it is still RUNNING . . does NOT mean or guarantee ANYTHING about the future direction of where the market will go. After 3 or 4 hours, when you come back later to check on it . . your Daily Candle that was a GREEN candle 3 or 4 hours ago at the beginning of the day . . you may unfortunately find that it is NOW a RED candle 4 hours later . . and when you check the 5 minute candles, there will be 48 matching 5-minute RED candles that are matching/agreeing with it . . because maybe the market opened by going UP (GREEN) for the first 20 minutes, and then in the 26th minute the market TURNED AROUND and it went sharply DOWN and continued to go DOWN for 4 hours straight !!

in conclusion to recap again
if you want to catch the COLOR of a DAILY candle at the BEGINNING of the day WHILE it is STILL at its OPENING/EARLY moments . . let me assume that you want to CATCH your DAILY candle within its FIRST five minutes . . you must simply look at a 5 minute chart at the BEGINNING of the DAY (first HOUR of DAY, first MINUTE of DAY) . . if the FIRST FIVE minute candle CLOSES as GREEN candle . . then most certainly your DAILY candle is also a GREEN candle already by that time . . but DON'T expect it to STAY GREEN for the REST of the day just because it OPENED as a GREEN candle in the early/first minutes of the day . . LOL . by using this indicator and setting an ALERT on the FIRST 5-minute or even the FIRST 1-minute candle that CLOSES as a GREEN / RED candle . . you should be sorted
