Based on the above thread... i have the RSI and the MA in the same window, my levels are 90 and 10, how can i add an sound alert when the SMA (4) touches these OB and OS levels...in tradingview its so simple but here when it comes to old school coding i'm lost,

Please can anyone help me

I guess if you want to learn coding, the straightforward way is to create an EA to check the values of RSI and MA at the start of every new candle, and alert when their values meet your criteria. Here's where you can learn how to program in mql4. And if you need help along the way, you can post here and many of us here will help you out.

1°) Test if conditions are fulfilled - e.g. SMA(4) touches OB,...

2°) If so, to get sound alert add instruction PlaySound

Thank you for your inputs - i really appreciate it but ill be honest.... had a look at the links and dived into a few pages but damn.. i don't even know where to start...or what to do.. i just don't have the time to try and figure it out... not even to mention the patience to learn coding ( already trying to study the forex market so yeah my plate is full) 

It will take you guys a few minutes to code this so i'm rather willing to pay a few XRP for it if its not to expensive... let me know if anyone is interested - it will save me allot of time and heartache.

Good Day Paul,

I quickly loaded your code and placed it on a chart but i noticed it differers from my original indicator, think it might be the calculation of the SMA within the RSI that makes it "off balance" - the original indicator is merely an RSI 14 onto which i added a SMA4, added a few levels to indicate OB / OS levels and thats it, if you don't mind please can you take a look at the image attached which will make allot more sense.

Yet again thank you for your effort - i really appreciate it
