mr mladen :
could you add alarm on it when candle close
it have just alarm on current candle
regard
Try it out
thanks very much
must put it on 1?
Is there any simple way of accessing MT5 indicator data for an on chart display. I know that initially when MT5 first came out the code was quite complicated for just a simple indicator and I am hopeful with the latest version of MT5 something may have changed?
For example if I want to show a MA cross on chart object display with MT4 I use
double slow_MA = iMA(Symbol(),0,100,0,MA_MODE,MA_PRICE,0);
double fast_MA = iMA(Symbol(),0,35,0,MA_MODE,MA_PRICE,0);
if (ma_fast > ma_slow){ col = clrLime;}
if (ma_fast < ma_slow) {col = clrRed;}
else {col = clrGray;}
is there any simple equivalent in MT5? or do I have to write untold lines of code to access this information?
I found the simple answer - it was to convert the mq4 instead of rewriting the code totally using mq5.
thanks very much

Yes
Dear @mladen,
Can you add attached indicator "Horizontal and Vertical Alignment" settings, I would be very pleased.
Thank you.

Please post original (non-decompiled) source code so that it can be checked
Sorry!
I found this.
I hope this is original indi.
There is a charting method which is somewhat similar to Renko boxes but it is told better from certain points of view.
Point Original charting (http://www.az-invest.eu/point-original-bars-for-metatrader)
Point Original Bars (https://ovo.cz/products/offline-charts-for-mt4/point-original-bars)
I did not find sufficient information about the calculation of such bars, the only one I found is on one of the sites I mentioned above:
"... Point-O bars hold the range from open to close at a constant level. They only require the price to retrace to the original open value of the previous bar in order to form a new bar. This form of charting makes it very easy to spot support & resistance levels and simplifies catching of reversal points.
This charting type also enables the trader to maintain the correct OHLC values for a given day (ones that correspond to the day's Open, High, Low & Close values) by providing a special setting which enables this feature (notice the circled points on the chart, where the open price have been reset when the new day started on the charting platform)."
I took RenkoMeanLivechart_v1.0_new_format_Alerts.mq4 and modified: Rows 218-220; 256-258; 293-295; 379-381; 423-425; without success. It compiles without any error or warning but does not work but freezes the MT4 platform. I attach the "result" of my experiment.
A coding help would be appreciated.

What exact changes did you make?
Did you compare the changes to the original, revert them and try making one change at a time?

Mladen,
Thank you for the advice. Attached are both indicators, the original
RenkoMeanLivechart_v1.0_new_format_Alerts.mq4
and the modified
Experiment_POC.mq4
The modifications
Original (in RenkoMeanLivechart_v1.0_new_format_Alerts.mq4):
while(!UpTrend && (Low[i] < PrevLow - 0.5 * BoxPoints || CompareDoubles(Low[i], PrevLow - 0.5 * BoxPoints))) {
PrevHigh = PrevHigh - 0.5 * BoxPoints;
PrevLow = PrevLow - 0.5 * BoxPoints;
Modified (in Experiment_POC.mq4):
while(!UpTrend && (Low[i] < PrevLow || CompareDoubles(Low[i], PrevLow)))
{
//PrevHigh = PrevHigh - 0.5 * BoxPoints;
//PrevLow = PrevLow - 0.5 * BoxPoints;
All the changes are the same since the code snippets are there repeatedly in Rows 218-220; 256-258; 293-295; 379-381; 423-425.
