Help adding simple alert to indicator
- LSMA Indicator
- Ask!
- Need Alert Programmed???
Have 2 global variables
int oldvalue, newvalue;
if (wt[shift+1] > wt[shift]) { ExtMapBuffer2[shift] = EMPTY_VALUE; newvalue=1; // ObjectCreate("smiley_face", OBJ_ARROW, 0, Time[shift], Low[shift]-Point*20); // Print("time= ",Time[shift]); // ObjectSet("smiley_face", OBJPROP_ARROWCODE, 242); // ObjectSet("smiley_face", OBJPROP_COLOR, Red); // ObjectSet("smiley_face", OBJPROP_WIDTH, 1); // ObjectsRedraw(); //ExtMapBuffer3[shift+1] = EMPTY_VALUE; //ExtMapBuffer3[shift+1] = EMPTY_VALUE; } else if (wt[shift+1] < wt[shift]) { ExtMapBuffer1[shift] = EMPTY_VALUE; //-1 red/greem tight //ExtMapBuffer3[shift+1] = EMPTY_VALUE; newvalue=2; } else { newvalue=3; ExtMapBuffer1[shift]=EMPTY_VALUE;//EMPTY_VALUE; ExtMapBuffer2[shift]=EMPTY_VALUE;//EMPTY_VALUE; } if(newvalue!=oldvalue) { if(newvalue==1){ Alert("The bar has become yellow"); }else if(newvalue==2){ Alert("The bar has become green"); }else if(newvalues==3){ Alert("The bar has become red"); } oldvalue=newvalue; }
It alerts now, but every tick, and it freezes up mt4 when I open it. I only want it to alert when a color changes on a specified timeframe (Current). Right now its changing on the 'tick' timeframe hundreds of times. here is what I have now... Thanks Heelflip!

Means you have to code it that way that it only runs the whole cycle at the first tick each bar....
Succes...

Does this indicator re-paint ? if it does then you are going to have to build some kind of Hysteresis into it.

Sorry about that, I added the check in the wrong place. What was happening was that it was in the for loop and was alerting to the change in the Rperiod. It should be working now.
