Thread: Alert to sound X pips AWAY from an MA

It was a bizarre experience reading your comments about PipsMark. I was convinced that you were incorrect about the alert being for motion away from the MA. I confirmed that was true and looked at the code. Nevertheless, the whole time, it was just like I couldn't recall doing some of it and this was only one year ago. Rather than deja vu, it was jamais vu (which is a legitimate expression - look it up).

Anyway here is a new version with the functionality you desire. It had a new name to differentiate it from PipsMark, so I called it Pips2MA. Here's what the settings are.

AlertPips=10; // distance from near MA in pips.
AlertBarsSkip=3; // amount of pubs to skip before next awake.
MAperiods=10; // MAperiods - the amount of periods to be employed from the MA calculation.
MAmethod=E; // MAmethod - the technique to be employed from the MA calculation ('S','W','E','M').
MAapply=C// MAapply - the price type to be employed from the MA calculation ('M','T','O','C','H','L').
Mift=0; // Mift - the number of periods for the MA change calculation.

Alright Codemeister -- vindied!

Along with my response to a jamais vu is pas vu si juste en face de moi (not seen if right before me).

Thank you for your comeback to my question.

Have you been sharing the MQ4 version as well? (You did on the other)

that I will be able to this and test it straight away. I'd think this is going to be quite popular. Folks I have mentioned this to have said, yeah, that would be useful. Let me know whether you find it.

In regards to my next query above (repeated here for convenience) on the PipsMarkV3

InputMAprice --There doesn't seem to be a justifiion for this user-settable parameter. What part is it playing at the script? I really don't know what it's doing or how to put it.

I still plan to utilize the PipsMarkV3 in certain circumstances and I'd like to realize that parameter.

Thanks.

Abinadi - you were right; it's very popular. 72 downloads in less than a day. V3 just has 90 in almost a year.

So far as providing the source code - I think maybe not. As can be seen over with PipsMark, I lost control of the mods. Today its everybody's and nobody's code.

InputMAprice exactly the like what I call MAapply - the price type for your MA calculation. Only he desires the amount in lieu of a letter.

Entirely suitable and no dissent out of me.
Thank you for the help, once again.

Codemeister,

A big thanks to you for Your Own Pips2MA indi.. .extremely useful for anybody that uses moving averages in any way, whether that's crosses, S/R or trailing stops. Much appreciated!

Jack

I wanted to say thank you as well for submitting this indior. . .is there some way to also put in an email alert as well to the audio alert when price is x ray pips off from the moving average? Thank you again!

I will second this, an email alert would be very helpful. Can't believe there are not more indiors like this accessible for what is a relatively straightforward task.

A lot of thanks.

Hi. Thank you CodeMeister and Flyer for its indi along with the mods. This is precisely what I'm searching for but I can not get it to work!

I copied it to the MT4 expertsindiors folder, opened MT4 and it showed up at the Custom indiors listing. Then I drag it on a M15 chart along with the config window pops up fine. I shut this, and nothing happens. It shows up at the Indiors list but I simply don't find any info.

I have to be missing something easy. Can you help?

Thanks!

That's a strange request. I have not ever seen one like that. You could try using a pips off value of -5 and see if that works. I never tested that, but maybe it will do exactly what you desire.

Edit: I was somewhat tired when I wrote this. I did put together the indior you're looking for quite a very long time ago. Please check post #38.
