Thread: Add a pop-up alert to an indicator

Where the signal is supposed to appear, you have simply to add this line code at the next line :

For buy alert :

Code:

Alert ("Name of the indicator: ",Symbol()+" "+Period()+": Buy Alert @ "+DoubleToStr(Ask,Digits));

For sell alert :

Code:

Alert ("Name of the indicator: ",Symbol()+" "+Period()+": Sell Alert @ "+DoubleToStr(Bid,Digits));

The function ALERT is used to generate a pop up box.

Hi funyo,

Thanks

not one it prints buy or sell.. but when the line is drawn.

Thank you for the information about how to add an alert. That is very useful to someone who is trying to test ideas and be alerted when the idea comes true. I wonder if you could help me add a external variable to this code that would allow me to position the alerts a little further above and below the price. I tried to modfiy this from another indicator, but I cannot figure out the code to reposition the alerts. I want to move them higher/lower so that the alert wingding does not touvh the price chart.
