Need Help adding alert in 1 2 3 indicator

New comment
 
Hi, experienced coders out there , please i need some help in adding alert sound when the 1 2 3 is printed on my chart , thank you for your kindness!!

Here is the code ..

Hello,


Is it possible to check the Alert option in MQL5? I guess this option is turned off in your MQL5.

In MQL5 Press Ctr+O and select the tab "Events".

If Alerts is turned off in your MQL5, you will not receive any alerts.

 

Please edit your first post and use the code button (Alt+S) to paste your code (please do not add it in another post, edit the original).

In future please post in the correct section

I will move this topic to the MQL4 and Metatrader 4 section.
