A while ago i got interested in this oscillator originally developed by Martin J. Pring.

To get notified i added signalline crossover alert and zeroline crossover alert.

The former seems to work well, but the latter doesn't give an alert when the zeroline is crossed.

When i added the alert lines initially i did get several errors, so i added the integers on line 98 as well.

I think the issue is which integer from this line i need to add on line 263 and 272, but am not sure.
Can somebody please look into this?

Makes sense what you stated.

I changed it now, and it seems to work.
But i have my doubt if it's really good?
Can you have a sneak peak at?

Can you also enlighten me what integers i should put on the end of line 263 and 272, i added (c), but that was my non-coder logic... 🙂

Should be checking Bars against 'd', not 'c' on line 272:
MQL4:
      if ((KST[0] > 0) && (SignalBuffer[0] <= 0) && (Bars > c))
The logic here is to prevent more than one alert per bar popping up.

As for the logic of the alert conditions, I have no idea. Launch it in a visual backtest see.
 
Is there a way to code the alerts in a way that once a crossing of signal line and/or zero line has occured the next alert will only be send once the next crossing occurs?
Right now the alerts are send every time i start mt4, also for crossings which occured several bars ago.

I searched for it but could not find the proper info?
 
Yes, when you are checking for crossing, you have to check that the current value is above/below the threshold level and the previous value is below/above that level. That way, the next bar after crossing occurs will not qualify for an alert unless there is a new crossing at that time.
 
Hello,
I'm struggling with the same KTS indicator; it doesn't refresh automatically.
I hope someone is willing to repair and would be very greatful for it...

Best regards,
Ben
