Can anyone add timeshift to this alert?

[[Deleted]]

Hello Everybody,

I am not a computer programmer, and I shouldn't need to be one to trade, should I?

1)I've been scouring the forums for MA crossover audible alert with time shift. I've seen numerous requests for something similar, however there seems to be none out there. I found this one but it has no shift, by the time it rings, it's too late. Can someone tweak it?

2)Also, is there any way to assign a specific .wav file for it to play?

Please help

Thanks

Jeff

  | Allows you to enter two ema periods and it will then show you at |
  | Which point they crossed over. It is more usful on the shorter   |
  | periods that get obscured by the bars / candlesticks and when    |
  | the zoom level is out. Also allows you then to remove the emas   |
  | from the chart. (emas are initially set at 5 and 6)              |
