alert at current candle open (or last candle close)

[Deleted] 2010.11.28 15:10

hello,

i'm trying to code an indicator derived from an EMA Crossover indicator .

the indicator draw an arrow on the current candle when conditions are met and it does his job.

now the problem is with the popup and ring-tone alert, it comes too late, the ring-tone and the popup window appear at the candle close...

i would like to get the pop up and the arrows at the same time, so i tried to move the alert inside the same condition (with the arrows) and it works but the problem is that when i load the indicator it freezes the computer because of the popup and ring-tone ringing for each arrows drawn on the chart....

here is the code:

#property indicator_chart_window

#property indicator_buffers 2

#property indicator_color1 2026496

#property indicator_color2 236

#property indicator_width1 1

#property indicator_width2 1



double CrossUp[];

double CrossDown[];

extern bool SoundON=true;

double alertTag;

 double control=2147483647;

      if ( (MA4 > MA5 && MA5 > MA6 && MA6 > MA7) && MA01 < MA3 && MA00 > MA2) {

                                                 //drawing arrows

        alertTag = Time[0];

        if (SoundON==true && i==1 && CrossUp[i] < CrossDown[i] && alertTag!=Time[0]){

       Alert("LONG on ",Symbol()," ",Period());

        alertTag = Time[0];

        } 

  }

   return(0);

}

what i need is just the same indicator but ringing at current candle open or at the last candle close.

any input really appreciated, i tried many things i found on this forum but nothing working.

i suck at coding so, please if you answer be explicit...

 if (SoundON==true && i==1 ...

i == 1 only at the start of a new candle, current candle is zero.

WHRoeder:
i == 1 only at the start of a new candle, current candle is zero.

Since the indicator processes all bar every tick it can't alert late. It alerts when you receive a new tick on a new bar.
How grateful? Are you going to send me money?

Hi whroeder, sure I would pay you handsomely if you could make that MBKASCtrend send alert within 10 seconds of candle formation. please try it out, the alert is too useless for binary trade, it is always way too late.

From theory to practice Retard the alert several Harmonic Trading

There is no candle close. Only when a new bar starts is the previous one closed.

Hi everyone please i need your help on this indicator, i adjusted fractal so that you can switch between periods,
so i used bollinger bands and fractal to avoid false signals, the aim is that if fractal at your desired period shows and current close is above or below the bollinger bands then you sell or buy, it works very great but the problem is that i get alerts very late and arrows also shows very late and i tried alot but still yet i cant figure it out,
so please if their is anything you can add i will really appreciate your help, Thanks in advance.
