Hello HJ_ROCKS,

Yes, use the strict version with CalcuateOnBarClose = false and the dot will appear before the candle closes.

However, alerts will just appear later, when the bar has closed. I believe default version is more profitable in the long run.

Further automation would require an expert advisor ;)

Thx for your kind words.

Well let me go over it tonight. I can make an alert happen at the price break. I guess. But how hard is watching a dot?

Just for the record, on the long run, using the close price is more profitable because you ignore false exits.

I tested this and the difference is enormous ;-)

 

Hi Flaab,

Check last two hour chart for EurUSD, Gold, Silver Futurs " now alerts came after 1 hour completed after spain got downgraded !!!" just look at the charts what kind of damaged it can make after 20 bar low " if you get alerts on time as and when it breaks 20 bar low how much profitable it would be " i think you will get my message, why i am trying to send this message is that its upto trader take decision trade after 20 bar high or low break out !!!!!

Yep, alerts are only triggered after the bar has closed! I'll have to fix that in the near future in the strict version. In the meantime, use the strict version with CalculateBarClose == false and stay tuned :-P
 

Thanks for this, much appreciated! 

 

Thank you.  Good work !
