Need Help Programming Send notification in indicator please(:

[Alehon219]

Hello Everyone!

I can’t seem to figure out a way to program a send notification in a slope indicator. I’ve tried but my attempts lead to a notification every tick regardless of the slope has changed or not. I just need it to notify me when it goes from negative to positive or vice versa. Any help is appreciated (: here is the code:

#property indicator_chart_window

#property indicator_buffers 3 

#property indicator_color2 Red 

#property indicator_color3 Blue

#property indicator_width2 2

#property indicator_width3 2

//---

extern int       period        = 32;

extern double FilterNumber     = 2;

extern int       ma_method     = 3;

extern int       applied_price = 0;

//---- buffers 

double B0[];

double B1[];

double B2[];

int OnInit()

  {

//--- indicator buffers mapping

   int shift_begin=int(MathSqrt(period)+period+1);

   IndicatorShortName("Slope_Direction_Line("+DoubleToStr(period,0)+")");

   SetIndexBuffer(0,B0);

   SetIndexBuffer(1,B1);

   SetIndexBuffer(2,B2);

Use the insert code button when posting code. I have edited it this time.

Where is the code for the notification?
