Does anyone have, or know where to get, an indicator for MT4 that will sound an alarm whenever the price crosses a manually drawn trendline? I’m afraid something like this is [I]way [/I]beyond my programming ability.
I’ve checked all my usual sources but can’t find anything that will do this. I’m demo testing a new system and this would make it a lot easier.
It goes in the “experts\indicators” folder on your MT4 installation. On my computer the entire path is “C:\Program Files\Interbank FX Trader 4\experts\indicators.”
One question: doesn’t it disturb your sleep? If you were to suddenly woke up by the alarm, and rush over to your terminal, would it rush in bad trades? not enough sleep, etc…?
The alarm disturbing my sleep is kind of the point.
But seriously… I don’t have a set sleeping schedule. Since I trade 4H timeframes I can look at my charts and have a pretty good idea if there won’t be any good trading opportunities for 4-8 hours or more. If that’s the case, I go to sleep.
And if I really want to sleep undisturbed I just turn my alarms off. A few missed trades aren’t going to hurt anything, but I rarely get woken up to my alarms anyway, since I sleep during the times there are no trade setups.
Erratic sleeping during the week does mess with your weekends though. It’s 3:50 am where I live right now.
Thanks a looot everyone!!! this is one thing that i’ve been looking for for ages, coz i use andrews’ pitchfork as my main tool. Now i don’t have to stick to my PC all day&night long.
