Hey guys, first of all this is an excellent source of information and I want to thank whoever is responsible and whoever maintains this site running. Second, this is my first post and I apologize if I broke any rules by posting this question in this section.
My inquiry is about alertFX. I use MT4 and I need an email(text message) alert that quickly informs me when the RSI crosses the 70 and the 30 mark. I know this topic has been discussed multiple times but after doing much research, I found thanks to you guys the alertfx website. Now, my problem is that after setting up the alerts, I get alerts supposively the RSI crossing the mark but when I check on MT4, the RSI is nowhere even close to what the alert specified. I double check to make sure the settings are correct and they are.
Has anybody had this problem?
Also, is there any other way to get text message alerts or email alerts when the RSI crosses the 70/30 mark that are actually accurate? I preferably would like to use MT4
Sure, I’ll give it a go. It could be because of the different data used in the different feeds, though I’d expect it to be similar, unless you’re on a really short timescale.
Either way, if you want the alerts, you could have MT4 running on a machine, and set that to send out an email to a specified email address, and have text alerts sent for any email sent to that address (load of providers do that, I use one and one). Of course, that relies on you having a decent internet connection.
If you’re using more than just small change on such trades, then get a virtual server (not a full one, you don’t need that), and install MT4 and have it constantly running off that. Will be more reliable and you should be able to get that relatively cheaply.
I was finally able to figure out how to send emails using the MT4 software. I was having issues with my own website smtp server. Anyways, I now want to receive emails whenever the RSI indicator crosses the 70 and 30 mark. I played with the code but get emails seems like every second. I want to use the RSI in the 1 hour chart.
Anybody out there kind enough to help me out will be greatly appreciate it. Believe me when I say that I have searched all over the internet to find what I think should be a pretty simple indicator. I only need the normal RSI to email me when the line crosses 70 and 30…PLEASE!!! I looked into the SendMail() but thats way over my head!! I actually got it to work but I get emails every five seconds!!!
Please…I only need the RSI with email capabilities.
