Click and drag alerts

Post by ywfbi »

Here is a price alert script I wrote today, hopefully someone will find it usefull.

When the EA is attached, two lines will be drawn +-X pips from the current price.
You may move these lines to adjust when the alert triggers.
Once price has crossed one of these lines it will become inactive (dotted line)
To reset, move the line past the price again, after the next tick it will become
a solid line and ready to signal another alert.

Settings are saved as global var, and will remain after changing timeframe etc.
Alerts can go to mobile,email or on screen. Automatically (if allowed in settings) redraws lines in correct place after accidental deletion.

And do note the indi will work on backtesting as well... Very handy imo.

Very handy indeed! I woke up this morning and checked the 2 trades I was in and got a pleasant surprise! I had 2 presents left for me and I have screen shots to prove it! :) All of the previous ones I had tried would not work with offline/renko charts but this one works like a gem! It really is handy to see all your past trades on the chart like this. Makes it easy to see any mistakes and to reaffirm your trading plan. Thank You VERY MUCH for posting this RockyJ!! It will be a great tool to have in my tool belt!

Peace,

Does anyone have a simple screen shot capture tool?

Something that captures a screen shot of every chart I have open once every 12 hours or 24 hours and stores it by symbol name so that I can review my trades before and after and study with it?

Thanks,
SK

Why not use the indicator above that RockyJ posted? It will show you all your trades on the chart and you don't have to save any charts unless you want to. Just run the indicator and review your trades. You can even leave it running on your charts. It will update on the next bar by default. When you remove the indicator from the chart, it removes all the boxes and arrows etc from your chart like it should so it's all good!

If your in need of a decent screen capture tool out side of Empty4, I would suggest PickPick. It's free and rather handy with a bunch of features. I use it frequently for saving screen shots of things I want to keep.

Hello F.T's .

Been looking for a tool (Script / EA) that can change the magic number and comments for open trades. Just can't seem to find it. Thanks.

Hi all

Would anyone know if there is a utility for coloured trend line drawing for different time frames, ie monthly automatically red when moving to weekly auto blue, daily auto orange etc so when I'll click to one hour I'll know what time frame trend line is which.
I have looked here of all utilities, indis and scripts but could not find anything.
cheers

Do you code?

Here is a levels script that sort of does that. Are you looking for the colour to be auto or the trendline draw? A script can be done to drag onto the chart and it would give you a coloured, labelled line that you can move around.

I've never seen what you ask for but it would make life that much easier for drawing.

Hi Brian,
nope I don't code, but right now I wish I could.
Thank you for showing me the above link unfortunately that coloured levels line is not what I meant, and as you said it would make life easier.
cheers
