Something like this :

if (MACD[0]>MACD[1]) Alert("Message to use for alert"):

Hello,

How can I code an alert in an indicator ?

For example, how alert when MACD[0]>MACD[1]?

Thanks for help.

Thanks Mladen, but where ?

Right before the last return in your code (that way you ensure that it is executed only when all the rest of processing is done)

Thanks.

i need help with this ea its has martingale function but doesnt work propely for example if a position its closed in a loss martingale function should multiplie the lots of the last position closed in a loss but there its an error in the code whitch make the martingale to work propely here its the eauniversalmacrossea.mq4

Files:
universalmacrossea.mq4  34 kb
 

That way of opening new order after a loss is not a martingale + martingale works with opened positions

How can I calculate my lotsize, when I want to trader with every trade f.e. 5% of my money?

 

sunshineh,

Try using this function :

double getLots(string symbol, double Risk, double stopLossDistance)

{

RefreshRates();

double lots = 0;

double MinLots = NormalizeDouble(MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_MINLOT) ,2);

double MaxLots = NormalizeDouble(MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_MAXLOT) ,2);

double LotStep = NormalizeDouble(MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_LOTSTEP),2);

int LotDigit = 2;

if(MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_DIGITS)==3 || MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_DIGITS)==5) stopLossDistance *= 10.0;

//

//

//

//

//

if (LotStep==1) LotDigit=0;

if (LotStep==0.1) LotDigit=1;

if (LotStep==0.01) LotDigit=2;

if (Risk>0)

{

if (AccountBalance()>AccountFreeMargin())

lots = NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMargin()*(Risk/100.0)/(stopLossDistance*MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_TICKVALUE)),LotDigit);

else lots = NormalizeDouble(AccountBalance() *(Risk/100.0)/(stopLossDistance*MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_TICKVALUE)),LotDigit);

}

//

//

//

//

//

lots = NormalizeDouble(NormalizeDouble(lots/LotStep,0)*LotStep,LotDigit);

lots = MathMax(MathMin(lots,MaxLots),MinLots);

return(lots);

}
