Default MT4 Alert Questions

Hi All,

I posted a couple of questions to ybop01 but he doesn't seem to have logged in for a while. Can anyone else in the forum help please ?

I have the indicator installed and working i get alerts and the indicator is showin trends etc, But I have notices a couple of things that lead me to the questions below:


1. I seem to get the alert on the next full candle after the EMA, Is this deliberate? It sometimes means that an opportunity is a good 10 pips lower than it might have been if I examined the alert at the crossover and traded it straight away. I'm still new, but know that some traders just prefer to trade the next candle after an EMA, I might like the chance to get in a bit earlier. I'm still trading demo so not really sure about my style yet


2. The other question is related to the trend. I have been stopped out a couple of times following a long indicator while the 4hr chart shows a "down trend" over a couple of days. In fact the chart has not shown me a down trend at, all is all still up and only long trades. So....... how is the trend calculated and is the trend I'm seeing consistent with what you are etc?

Thanks

Stu
