I have an idea for ict traders who looks out for liquidity sweeps and I hope that someone could make this alert system indicator works, am not a coder,but just have tried to help the coder with 80% of work so that we can take benefit of this amazing alert system which could afford daily ote entries and the community take benefit of it:

an MQL5 indicator that identifies the high and low of a candlestick, draws horizontal lines with text labels for the high and low, and triggers an alert when the price breaks above the high or below the low. This indicator also includes a multi-timeframe option

the code need to be fixed and compiled as I have failed to fix syntax errors and compile it.

The code got broken because you inserted it without formatting it properly. You should either use a code highlighting or attach the indicator as a file. Otherwise, it's difficult to see what's wrong with it.

thank you I'll repost it by highlighting it and hope someone could fix it

Did you just copy the MQL4 code to MQL5? You need to do some modifications for this to work. Check out other MQL5 indicators and compare what they do differently. One important thing is to set close, low, high, and time arrays as series inside OnCalculate() function. Otherwise, your close[0] isn't the latest close - it's the oldest close on the chart.
