External Parameter List

- Enable MT4 On-screen pop-up alerts - define the period for the fast period moving average
- Enable Email Alerts - define the period for the slow period moving average
- Price/MA Proximity Alert Sound - define the calculation method for both moving averages. Options are: Simple, Exponential, Smoothed and Linear Weighted
- Maximum Number of Alerts - define the maximum number of alerts allowed within the alert window. The alert window is controlled by the 'Minimum Time Between each alert in seconds' parameter below.
- Minimum Time Between each alert in seconds - set the minimum time interval between successive alerts
- Reset Alert Counter after (x) minutes - allow the trade to reset the alert counter after a defined number of minutes
- Type of Proximity Alert - there are two types of alert - 'Printed' where price action has physically crossed over the moving average when the last bar closed and 'Touch' where price action has momentarily touched the moving average
- Moving Average Period - allow the trader to control the moving average period
- Moving Average Shift - allow the trader to shift the moving average by X bars - we do not recommend using this as moving averages are already lagging indicators and it serves no purpose using negative shift values to try and get an earlier signal. Just use a shorter MA Period

Works pretty much as shown except I can not change the sound alert in the indicator. I've tried numerous times to no avail. The only sound I'm getting is the alert bells . It's the 1st sound in mt4 file and can not be changed as far I can tell so far. Anyone can help with this issue I would appreciate it. My email jbmann49@hotmail.com Thanks
