This is optional if you want to add alert when price bar cross EMA of choice.

Thank you

Replace current line 190 with this:

          message =  StringConcatenate(Symbol()," --- EMA ",FastMa," ","Cross","  --- EMA ",SlowMa," ",doWhat," TF: ",EnumToString(PERIOD_CURRENT));

Thank you. You said it is MQL5 code but I need it for MT4 in that attached indicator.

 

[Enivid]

I used MQL5 code highlighter. That line of code will work in MT4 too.

Well, in alert message window says:
TFERIOD_CURRENT

It doesn't say which time frame.

Replace with this:

message =  StringConcatenate(Symbol()," --- EMA ",FastMa," ","Cross","  --- EMA ",SlowMa," ",doWhat,EnumToString((ENUM_TIMEFRAMES)Period()));

Replace with this:

message =  StringConcatenate(Symbol()," --- EMA ",FastMa," ","Cross","  --- EMA ",SlowMa," ",doWhat,EnumToString((ENUM_TIMEFRAMES)Period()));

Perhaps, your chart just does not have any crossovers to display? Here it shows an arrow in EUR/USD H1 chart:
