One needs an .mq5 file to modify the code. An .ex5 file doesn't work for that.

It looks like it isn't emptying the buffers properly. I think adding something like ExtMapBuffer5[i+SignalHP]=0 and the same for the ExtMapBuffer6[i+SignalHP] at the beginning of the cycle could help.

I have written a tutorial on how to add alerts (including email alerts) to indicators for people who do not know how to code:

Perhaps, you could try implement this yourself.

Hi Enivid,

I really like your helpful tutorial on how to add alerts. However, somehow I don't manage to implement the signal alert correctly into the free Gap Finder MT5 to give a notification each time when a new gap occur symbolized by an arrow , up or down (indicator attached). I went through the points, figured out the indicator buffers for the arrows, the added the input part, then added the alert conditions and changed the two paramenters because the buffer arrays are set as series. I got no error from compiling the code. But unfortunately I get alert notification every time when a new candel starts and not when the next arrow is shown for a gap. Can you please guide me to find the error and correct the signal alert to provide notifications for each new gap that is comming up?

Best wishes,
Dan

You need to check the buffer values against EMPTY_VALUE instead of zero. The indicator uses EMPTY_VALUE for candles without arrows.

Hi Enivid, thank you for your great help and guidance, it works! This way I was able to figure out the last part myself, how exactly and where I need to add EMPTY_VALUE - which feels better than just geting the complete solution
Alle the best!
