Post subject:  Alert add on to existing indicator, without source code
Hi All, I trust everyone is well?

I have a question that I would like to pose to the group, before bothering a programmer with any design requests.

I have a free version of a paid indicator, that posts signals on the chart, but does not provide for pop-up or audible alerts. As far as I can tell, the paid version does not give alerts either...

Now, since I do not have the source code for this indicator, I cannot change the code to perform any type of alert.

I would like to know if it is possible to program an "alerter" as it were, to alert me to the fact that this other indicator has printed a signal on the chart...i.e. indie "A" prints its' signal on the chart, and the proposed indie "B", picks up on this "printing" and sends an alert via pop-up & audible alert...

Possible or no?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks, take care.

If the signals are objects, possible. You would need an indicator that repeatedly checks all objects for existence of a new one printed by "A" and then fires an alert. Not very sophisticated.

If the signals are drawn by a buffer, it gets more complicated. You would need something that calls "A" as a custom indicator and evaluates the buffers (like UBD or USD drones do) .

Cheers
