Setting up an alert.

[Scooter1]

Hi,

Is it possible to set up an alert with a horizontal line or a trendline so that I can be alerted when price arrived to a point were I am interested in?

Thanks for your support.

Scooter1,

Please add the PriceAlert indicator to your chart. Configure it to take on the alert price you would like. When the price is reached you will get an alert triggered.

Hi again Ninja_Trader Josh,

I've set up an alert and it seems that the alert rings only once even if the price touches the price point several times. Is there a way to make the price alert to keep on ringing each time the price touches the price point again?

Thanks

Scooter1,

You will have to reprogram the indicator to rearm the alert if you want it to ring again. Alternatively, you can just press F5 on your chart to refresh the chart which will refresh the indicator too.

Thanks again Ninja_Trader Josh. Good day.

Alternatively you could alter the indicator to use PlaySound which would give you plenty of noise every time it is triggered.

I modified the Price Alert indicator to repeat alerts every time the line is
crossed by commenting out the code as shown below. I'm a noob on C#
but seems to work. Can give you a headache though if set to alert on minus 1000 Tick readings and the YM has a bad day!

/* if (Historical || triggered)
return;
else if (!triggerSet) */

Hope it helps

Thanks guys for the help. Will try the ideas out.

is there an easy way to modify the pricealert indicator (chart) to print also a text box on the screen with the text: reached level of ...... targetprice. and the text box only goes away after I have pushed the ok button?

johan,

Popup boxes are not supported, but you can write text directly onto the chart with DrawText() or DrawTextFixed().
