Price Alert

[Universal Financial Consultancy]

You need to set up a timer with EventSetTimer() and then use OnTimer() event to check if alert condition is fulfillied, do the alerts, and advance alert counter (to stop doing alerts after it reaches 100).

Hi @Enivid Could you please elaborate more on this?. I could not understand.
How to add that in this code

#property copyright ""
#property link      ""
 
#property indicator_chart_window
 
extern double SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove = 0;
extern double SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow = 0;
 
int init()
{
   if (SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove > 0)
   {
      ObjectCreate("SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove", OBJ_HLINE, 0, Time[0], SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove);
      ObjectSet("SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove", OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
      ObjectSet("SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove", OBJPROP_COLOR, Magenta);
      ObjectSet("SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove", OBJPROP_WIDTH, 1);
   }
   if (SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow > 0)
   {
      ObjectCreate("SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow", OBJ_HLINE, 0, Time[0], SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow);
      ObjectSet("SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow", OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
      ObjectSet("SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow", OBJPROP_COLOR, Magenta);
      ObjectSet("SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow", OBJPROP_WIDTH, 1);
   }
   return(0);
}
 
 
int deinit()
{
   ObjectDelete("SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove");
   ObjectDelete("SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow");
   return(0);
}
 
int start()
{
 
   if (ObjectGet("SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove", 1) != SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove)
     SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove = ObjectGet("SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove", 1);
   if (ObjectGet("SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow", 1) != SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow)
     SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow = ObjectGet("SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow", 1);
 
 
   if ((Bid > SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove) && (SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove > 0))
   {
      PlaySound("alert.wav");
   }
   if ((Bid < SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow) && (SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow > 0))
   {
      PlaySound("alert.wav");
   }
   return(0);
}

I recommend starting by reading the built in help files on EventSetTimer() and OnTimer() functions.

Hi Enivid,

When the market price hits the alert line, it will be removed. But would it be possible for the alert line to remain for multiple alert activation?
Thank you!!

 

[Enivid]

Yes, you can remove or comment out the lines 75-76, 83-84, and 91-92 if we are talking about MT4 version. However, I am not sure you will like being flooded by lots of alerts.

Thank you!, but my apologies that I forgotten to state that i'm using MT5. May i know how was it done in MT5 too? Thank you!
oh and why i'm doing so its because since im trading more on 1 and 5min timeframe, so i could just shift the alert to the price for my next's trade rather than keep on inserting new indicator and keying in the input value.

 

[Enivid]

Same thing with lines 88-89, 96-97, and 104-105.

You can replace the SendMail() function with SendNotification(). Just make sure to remove the subject part, as notifications do not have subject, just text.

Hi Enivid, I am new to this. Thank you much for your service. I have tried to modify the Price Alert Indicator to Send Notification to my iphone, but I get errors when changing SendMail to SendNotification and try to compile. Would you, or someone, please provide an example of how this should be done?

Thank you very much, Neville.

 

[Enivid]

Something like this:

SendNotification('Hi!');

 

[Neville]

Something like this:

SendNotification('Hi!');

Yes, thank you. That is what I did, but I am getting an error (3 times, one for each occurrence of SendNotification).

Here is what I did (3 times) and the error (3 times):

if ((Ask > SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove) && (SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove > 0))
   {
      Alert("Price above the alert level.");
      PlaySound("alert.wav");
      SendNotification ("Price for " + Symbol() +  " above the alert level " + Ask, "Price for " + Symbol() +  " reached " + Ask + " level, which is above your alert level of " + SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove);
      ObjectDelete("SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove");
      SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove = 0;
   }

Error I receive:

'SendNotification' - wrong parameters count PriceAlert.mq4 74 7

 

[Enivid]

Please do not forget to use code highlighting - it makes things much more readable.

As the error states, you are trying to call SendNotification() with a wrong number parameters. As you can see in my example, it takes only one parameter. Your call contains two parameters - the comma delimits them. When you use SendMail(), it takes two parameters - the subject of the email and the body of the message. When you use SendNotification() it can only take the message - there are no subjects in push notifications.

Thanks again! I removed the first area, before the comma, and it is good now.

 SendNotification("Price for " + Symbol() +  " reached " + Bid + " level, which is below your alert level of " + SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow);

I am using one indicator for more than 2 years that cost me $10 but does anything that I need for my trades.
All I need is to be warned before price touches some level.
So this indicator as a field of Distance so we can choose how many pips before will be the warning. That warning could be pop up, email or push. It works with any draw line including trendlines, but u can exclude by the name or thickness. Also has a feature of changing the color of the line.
I am not here trying to spam the forum, just posting as way of inspiration for the features that I think this kind of indicator must have.

Hello,

Is it possible to alert/email when the price touches to the desire horizontal line after the candle closes?

Thanks.

 

[Enivid]

You have to modify the code to make it alert only on close above/below the price level.

 

[pierhh]

Thank you for your response.
I am not a good coder, someone please help me to modify when price touches to the horizontal line and alert/mail me after the candle closes on the desire time flame.

Hi, buddy.. Greetings
I'm Joe from Indonesia.

A few days ago, i found your PriceAlert indicator on Google.
I really love it ♥
But, can i make a little request please?

if it possibble, i need the input coloums of "SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove" and "SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow" moved on the chart.
So it much more easier to input new value of those "SoundWhenPriceGoesAbove" and "SoundWhenPriceGoesBelow"

I attached the screenshot of it, please take a look..
I make it with Excel, and attach it to chart screenshoot.

Please help..
Thankyou Before


Regards.
Joe.

Version 1.02 of Price Alert indicator released. It adds a control panel to update indicator's settings directly on the chart.

It now also has its own GitHub repository:
https://github.com/EarnForex/PriceAlert

 

[Enivid]

Version 1.03 released to fix the function that prevents adding a second instance of the indicator to the chart.

Is it possible to have this alert continue to alert until shut off?
