Not send alert when open metatrader for the past signal

[Mohammad A]

Hello

how can i fixed indicator that send email , alert and notification for past when metatrader was opened ?

i use this code but when i open the metatrader send many notification and alert of past signals !

if (EnableSoundAlert){
SendNotification(TimeToStr(Time[0], TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES) + "  BUY " + Symbol() + " "+Period() );
           
            Alert(TimeToStr(Time[0], TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES) + "  BUY " + Symbol() + " "+Period());
            }
            if (EnableMailAlert) {
               SendMail(TimeToStr(Time[0], TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES) + "  BUY " + Symbol() + " " +Period(),TimeToStr(Time[0], TIME_DATE|TIME_MINUTES) + " BUY " + Symbol() + " " +Period());
               

and can i have other method of timeframe like : 1M because with Period() it send 1 only!

Thanks

Hi,

You mean, just want to send an email once when your indicator meets a criteria?

Please show us your code, the loop of your criteria before call SendMail.

when i attached this to chart it shows past times alerts and send emails of past times signal !!

and when i reopen metatrader and not remove indicator from chart it do that again and when reopen metatrader again and again and again :)

how can i fixed it? and other like this?

Thanks again

[Marco vd Heijden]

Because it's an indicator... of course it's gonna do that.

So you can use a globalvar so that it remembers where it left the previous time to skip all the previous alerts.

Please see: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/globals

Hi,

Yes, and I thought here is your issue :

     double r2 = iRSI(NULL,0,rsiperiod,....
     if (r1>30 && r2<30)
      buffy1[i] = Low[i+1]-15*Point;
      if (EnableSoundAlert){

RSI is lagging, and so when the price is running then the value meets your criteria many times  ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )

you should check it only  at every 1 candle ended, depending on your time frame, and not at every tick

[Keith Watford]

  static datetime alertBarTime=0;

  

  if(Time[i]>alertBarTime && AlertCondition && i==1)

    {

    //send alert

    alertBarTime=Time[i];

    }

If you only want alerts when a bar is closed, test that i==1

If you test for i==0, then it will alert while the current bar is open, but only once.

Thanks so much but there is problem with both i==0 and i==1 that when i start indicator show me past signal (only 1) and send email , how can i fix it?

And can you please let me know what is wrong when i use

if(EnableSoundAlert && iTime(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,0))

That is not work!

Hi, Aghaali

Actually, I thought your main problem has been fixed ^̮^

And the second step is how to give new value to your variable before next checking at if()

int start()
{

 //-- process RSI here, new value in the variable is needed for next candle.

 //-----------------------
 if(lastcandle!=Time[1])
 {

    //--do something here (check your RSI and alert, redraw, etc)


    lastcandle=Time[1];
  }//--if lastcandle
}//--start

and also you can find many codes that you need here:
