What is the area of help required?

 

I want to get the alarm to happen everytime chande momemtum crosses -10.2 and 10.2

However on the EA, the finished backtest doesnt indicate any activity.

Am i doing it correctly?

 
?? yes?
 
  1. Besley:

    I want to get the alarm to happen everytime chande momemtum crosses -10.2 and 10.2

       cmo=iCustom(NULL,0,"Chande",Period_1,0); // 1
 
   if (cmo > cmo1 )         // If difference between
     {                                        
      Alert("test1");

    This would sound continuously when it's above -10.2. You want something like
     cmo=iCustom(NULL,0,"Chande",Period_1,0); // 1
 static double cmo.prev;
 if (cmo.prev > cmo1 && cmo <= cmo1){ // Was above -10.2 now below
      Alert("test1");
 }
 else if (cmo.prev < cmo2 && cmo >= cmo2){
      Alert("test1");
 }
 cmo.prev = cmo;
  2. Am i doing it correctly?
    iCustom(string symbol, int timeframe, string name, ..., int mode, int shift) The ... are the parameters, mode is which buffer.
    Look at the indicator you see: 
    //---- input parameters 
extern int Length = 14; // Period of evaluation 
extern int Price = 0; // Price mode : 0-Close,1-Open,2-High,3-Low,4-Median,5-Typical,6-Weighted 

    SetIndexBuffer(0,CMO); 
SetIndexBuffer(1,Bulls); 
SetIndexBuffer(2,Bears);
    Therefor your call must be:
    #define CMO   0
#define Bulls 1
#define Bears 2 

#define Mode  CMO        // Choose one
#define Price MODE_CLOSE // Choose one
cmo=iCustom(NULL,0,"Chande",Period_1, Price, Mode, 0);

  3. //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
//| CMO_v1.mq4 |
    If the name of the indicator file is CMO_v1.ex4 then the call must be:
    cmo=iCustom(NULL,0,"CMO_v1",Period_1, Price, Mode, 0);
 

Thanks very very much for your help.

I really appreciate it

However got a few more questions.

Is there any way to visualise where the alarm occurs on the chart, looking into the journal without the indicator chart appearing till its completed it kind of perplexing.

Also, how do i link my an alert into sending out an email via EA

 
Figured the mail with SendMail()
 

Okay i replaced 

 if (cmo.prev > cmo1 && cmo <= cmo1){ // Was above -10.2 now below
      Alert("test1");
 }
 if (cmo.prev > cmo1 && cmo <= cmo1){ // Was above -10.2 now below
      Alert("test1");
      SendMail("test1","test1");
 }


Somehow the alert shows on journal but not the email
email tested with test mail.
