Email and WAV sound alerts for Setups

Unread post by autopro »

Hi Immy,et al,
I am getting along well with AiMs (delighted) and look forward to the imminent release of V5 :).
I, like most people don't sit with just charts in front of me and was wondering if it
would be possible to add simple Audible and Email alerts (like you have for dots) when all the 3
basic rules and criteria are met, which would help to alert of Setup 1 (esp.) forming...
1. Alligator asleep (consolidating MAs)
2. Blue dot ABOVE purple line and Red dot BELOW (i.e: Entry signals only).
3. AO close to zero or crossing.
I envisage the alert should ONLY happen on the 3 events or you would have alerts all over the place! lol!

As a programmer myself (in Delphi mainly, with some C++ and C#), I have done a very little amount
of work with MQL having added Email and WAV alerts for crossover of indicators: Stochastic, MAs and MACD.
Of course, it is your copyright but with the AiMs MQ4 I could 'probably' add code for EMail and WAV
playing myself (which in itself is very simple). Its just the flagging of the criteria for the Setups which I dont have.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this potential, as im sure it would help many people and be an amazing addition :).
Thanks !

Hi Jeff

Thanks for your kind offer. As you mentioned its not that a big deal adding the facility of emailing but the thing is to know when to send the alert. I think with V5 we have got quite close to that. It is for this reason we now call it Entry Alert. We are releasing first V5 version on Sunday and be updtating another small revision very soon. That would add some extra features. This is an attempt to incorporate all the aspects of the flow chart into the indicators so you get your answer quicker!

I guess Snorm (Steve) will have to have a word with you!

cheers

Ha ha. I have, coincidentally, written the very indicator today, to do all those checks and only issue an alert if all conditions are met. Adding an email alert is something that I hadn't thought about but easy enough to add. We need to do some serious testing over the next few weeks before this can be released but fingers crossed ...

Hi Steve,

I have gotten both your indicators. Thanks for the good work! I am looking forward to this new indicator.

By the way, for the Fractal Fib Multi indy, may I ask ... does it shows the 1 min high and low values on the 1 minute chart? The reason I ask is I attached this indy of yours to the 1 min chart but it does not show the 1 min high and low values. At the same time, when I attached it to the 5 min chart, things just turned out fine.

Is it the case that this indy should not be attached to two charts at the same time? Pls advise.

Cheers, Randy

Hi Randy

yes - it does show 1min high and low values. However, if one of the higher time frame levels is at the same level as one of the 1 min levels, the higher time frame will over-print. On my chart, as of Friday close, the 5 min upper level is at the same level as the 1 min upper level, so only upper 5 min is showing. I have a one pip difference on the lower levels, so both lower levels are showing. Try attaching the indicator to other pairs and you should see how this works.

You can attach the indicator to as many charts as you like.

cheers
Steve
