Semaphore arrow signal indicator based on the classic Williams’ Percent Range oscillator leaving the overbought and oversold areas, which features alerts, sending emails and push-notifications to mobile devices.

The following changes have been made to the indicator code in order to implement the alerts, email messages and push-notifications:

  1. Introduced new input parameters
    input uint NumberofBar=1;//Bar number for the signal
    input bool SoundON=true; //Enable alerts
    input uint NumberofAlerts=2;//Number of alerts
    input bool EMailON=false; //Enable mailing the signal
    input bool PushON=false; //Enable sending the signal to mobile devices
    
  2. Added three new functions to the end of the indicator code: BuySignal(), SellSignal() and GetStringTimeframe()
    //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
    //| Buy signal function                                              |
    //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
    void BuySignal(string SignalSirname,      // text of the indicator name for email and push messages
                   double &BuyArrow[],        // indicator buffer with buy signals
                   const int Rates_total,     // the current number of bars
                   const int Prev_calculated, // the number of bars on the previous tick
                   const double &Close[],     // close price

    string GetStringTimeframe(ENUM_TIMEFRAMES timeframe)
      {
    //----
       return(StringSubstr(EnumToString(timeframe),7,-1));
    //----
      }
    
  3. Added a couple of calls to BuySignal() and SellSignal() functions after the indicator calculation cycles in the OnCalculate() block
    BuySignal("iWPRSign",BuyBuffer,rates_total,prev_calculated,close,spread);
        SellSignal("iWPRSign",SellBuffer,rates_total,prev_calculated,close,spread);
    

Where BuyBuffer and SellBuffer are the names of the indicator buffers for storing the buy and sell signals. As the empty values in the indicator buffers either zeros or EMPTY_VALUE must be set.

It is assumed that the only one call to the BuySignal() and SellSignal() functions will be used in the OnCalculate() block of the indicator code.
