Post subject:  Help needed with Better Volume Climax Volume Alerts
Hi,

greatly appreciate if the experienced coders can help to place alerts (pop-up window, sound, email) for Better Volume climax volumes?

Customized alerts with date and time stamps (able to choose to use pop-up window, sound, email) when there is a (RED/WHITE) climax volume after the candle (with the climax volume) closes and alerts once.
I searched through FF and also googled but I have not seen a code that works.

I tried cutting and pasting these codes which I got from somewhere and modified:
if(Box_Alert) Alert(Symbol()," M",Period(),"\n TIME=",TimeToStr(CurTime(),TIME_DATE)," ",TimeHour(CurTime()),":",TimeMinute(CurTime())," ClimaxWHITE");
if(Sound_Alert) PlaySound(Sound_File);
if(Email_Alert) SendMail("Price Alert on "+Symbol()+" M"+Period(),Symbol()+" M"+Period()+" ClimaxWHITE");
but the pop-up window alerts flowed continuously. And the fact that I do not know coding.

Hope someone can help!
Thanks!

Try this out. You can edit the text the alerts send. I kept the two separate in case you want to have different sounds play. Also, the popup alert setting uses the built in Alert() function which plays a sound, so it probably doesn't make sense to use them both unless you customise the sound played.

Here are the added settings:

Code: Select all

extern bool    AlertEmail=false;
extern bool    AlertSound=true;
extern bool    AlertPopup=true;
I added one global variable to keep track of the last time an alert was sent:

Code: Select all

datetime       LastAlert;
And here is the alert code. It is inserted after the main indicator loop.

Code: Select all

//----Alert Code - gah

   if (AlertEmail || AlertSound || AlertPopup)
      if (Time[0] != LastAlert) {
         LastAlert = Time[0];

         if (red[1] > 0) {
            if (AlertSound)
               PlaySound("alert");
            if (AlertPopup)
               Alert("New Climax High!");
            if (AlertEmail)
               SendMail(WindowExpertName(),"New Climax High");
         }//if (red[1] > 0)          

         if (white[1] > 0) {
            if (AlertSound)
               PlaySound("alert");
            if (AlertPopup)
               Alert("New Climax Low!");
            if (AlertEmail)
               SendMail(WindowExpertName(),"New Climax Low");
         }//if (white[1] > 0) 
         
      }//if (Time[0] != LastAlert)
Let me know if you have any questions.

George

hi George,

thanks a lot for your help on the coding, it's really a neat piece of work!

Could I trouble you to add the currency pair and the period into the popup window and mail alerts?
In that way, I can see which pair is having Climax Volume, rather than cycle through the different charts to check.
As for the mail alert, can I just see all the details on the header?
Something like "Better Volume 1.4 - EURUSD H1 - Climax High with timestamp" just on the mail header?

Thanks again!

OK, here you go. I don't use the email feature within Empty4 since it doesn't work with gmail, but it should work. Let me know if it doesn't.

Hi George,
thanks a lot for your help, the alerts are neat! They work very well and very nicely!
Enclosed is the gmail-Empty4 setting (thanks to Zen Leow who posted this document) which works for Empty4 v409 (I amended the document due to Empty4 v409 update).

Glad I could help.

I'd considered setting up a local SMTP server, but since I had it working with an external program (mailsend) I didn't bother. I'll certainly give this a go. Thanks!

Worked like a champ. I made one change, instead of putting in my IP address for my PC in the Empty4 settings, I used my computer name. Since my IP is dynamically set I don't want to have problems should I get a different IP at some point.

Funny thing is, Empty4 sent me the Better Volume test emails from yesterday as well. Apparently, it queues them up for a while, waiting until it can send.

Thanks George for sharing this great piece of info! I just updated my Empty4 mail settings as well!

I didn't have this issue about Empty4 sending yesterday's alerts, so having the date and time stamps on the mail header come in handy. :D

Hello, i know its been several years since this thread was active. I was actually after someone who could add an audible and visual alert to my copy of the better volume 1.4. Unlike the previous versions in this thread, the copy i have changes the actual bar color. I just need an alert to signify when there is a change in Bar color. Thankyou
