How do I make multi time frame and multi currency pair scanner with alert for mt4 indicator

New comment
 

Hello,

I am new to Meta trader 4 programing . I have this moving average indicator that display Blue (buy) and  Red(sell) when certain conditions are met.

At the moment it works on just the current chart time frame.  I have  been difficulty  trying to make it scan multiple currency pairs accross multiple  time frame so as to save time finding pairs that meet condition of the inidcator.

It is to say which code will I need to add to current indicator code  so that ones the indicator is loaded in a single chart it will scan multiple time frames using the  list of currency pairs (major and minor) available in the Market Watch window or using preset currency pair input. Ones the indicator detects a currency pair, it will alert it in a dash board .

Please if you have any idea kindly share. Thank yo

Please code below:
