  2.    if (Bid>=Open[0]+Pips*point)Alerts("up ");
   if (Bid<=Open[0]-Pips*point)Alerts("down ");

    Replace the criterion with what you want.

Am really sorry if I stated it wrongly and it came out rudely. I need help with adding a code line for sending push notifications to phone. It already has alerts on the terminal. Again am sorry if I said it the wrong way.

It is quite simple to do.

You know how to do a pop up alert already

   string message="Signal";
   Alert(message);

For a push notification

   string message="Signal";
   SendNotification(message);

Hello Keith, I tried to edit the script but got errors while debugging it. Above is the whole edited lines not sure where I did wrong. Please help find the error.

"Got an error" is meaningless — just like saying the car doesn't work. Doesn't start, won't go in gear, no electrical, missing the key, flat tires — meaningless.

Yes  there were 3 errors which showed when debugging the codes. I had tried to add notification as an external boolean.

  1. What part of "EDIT your original post, please do not just post the code correctly in a new post " was unclear to you? You did the exact opposite.

  2. string TFName( int tf ){
⋮
              } // switch
  return;        Function returns a string. What string are you returning here?
} // TFName
