I am using an EA as an alert indicator, that also adds an arrow on chart, when conditions are met signal is given.
I dont understand code about counting bars, i just want the alert given at the tick by tick instance, then not repeating, so wait to next bar or 1 signal per bar.
I can post the file if easier...Here is the code snippet containing about Bars and some info on orders that is irrelevant:
int start()
{
double visualAddition= 3*_pipsMultiplyer*Point;
int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
if(Bars<=100) {return(0);}
int i=Bars-counted_bars-1;
while(i>=0)
{
_buySignal[i]=EMPTY_VALUE;
_sellSignal[i]=EMPTY_VALUE;
_lotSize[i]=_lotSizeDefault;
if(IsBuySignal(i)){
_buySignal[i]=iLow(Symbol(),Period(),i)-visualAddition;
if(_enableAlert){
if(i==1){
Alert("BUY "+Symbol()+" "+Period()+" bluebreeze");
SendMail("bluebreeze Long"+Symbol()+" "+Period(),"bluebreeze Long"+Symbol()+" "+Period());
}
}
}
if(IsSellSignal(i)){
_sellSignal[i]=iHigh(Symbol(),Period(),i)+visualAddition;
if(_enableAlert){
if(i==1){
Alert("SELL "+Symbol()+" "+Period()+" bluebreeze");
SendMail("bluebreeze Short"+Symbol()+" "+Period(),"bluebreeze Short"+Symbol()+" "+Period());
}
}
}
i--;
}
return(0);
}
