Why You Need VLine Alarm
Stop Missing Trade Setups.
News events, session opens, key timeframes - they all happen whether you're watching or not. VLine Alarm keeps you on point.
Set It Once. Forget It.
Drag a line. Walk away. Get alerted. No babysitting charts. No missing opportunities because you switched timeframes or stepped away.
The Problem It Solves:
You know that moment when you realize the news already hit 5 minutes ago? Or you miss the London open because you were analyzing the daily chart? That's expensive. This fixes it.
What Makes It Different:
Set alarm at 13:00 on any timeframe - it triggers at 13:00 on EVERY timeframe. Switch from 5M to 4H to Daily? Your alarm stays locked. MT5's built-in alarms can't do this.
Real Trading Scenarios:
Economic calendar events
Session open/close timing
Scheduled pattern completions
Multi-chart analysis windows
Strategy entry/exit timing
Bottom Line:
Time-sensitive trading requires time-precise alerts. This delivers. Simple, reliable, professional.
One drag. One alarm. Zero missed opportunities.
Drag & Drop Simplicity: Set alarms by dragging a vertical line to your desired time
Time Lock Technology: Alarm time stays locked across all timeframes - set it once on 5M, switch to 4H or Daily, alarm triggers at the exact same time
Prior Warning System: Get an advance warning before your main alarm triggers
Repeating Alarms: Configure multiple alarm repetitions with custom intervals
Live Countdown Display: See exactly how much time remains until your alarm
Auto-Restoration: Accidentally deleted the line? It automatically restores itself
Multi-Timeframe Compatible: Works flawlessly on all MT5 timeframes (1M to Monthly)
Mobile Push Notifications: Receive alerts on your MT5 mobile app
Persistent Alarms: Save alarm positions for days or weeks - survives chart changes and MT5 restarts
Multiple Alarms: Add the indicator multiple times for multiple simultaneous alarms
Fully Customizable: Adjust colors, styles, sounds, countdown display, and alert behavior
Perfect For:
News event trading
Session open/close alerts
Scheduled analysis reminders
Economic calendar events
Custom trading schedule management
Multi-timeframe analysis timing
What Makes It Different:
Unlike standard MT5 alarms that reset when changing timeframes, VLine Alarm locks to absolute time. Set your alarm for 13:00 and it triggers at 13:00 whether you're viewing 1-minute or daily charts.
