Yeah, you can just remove the following lines in PriceAlert_Panel.mq4:
MQL4:
sets.AlertNative = false; sets.AlertEmail = false; sets.AlertPush = false;
Thank you for this information. I set the price alert on all the forex pairs. It seems that I am not getting alerts unless I am on that particular chart. Am I mistaken? I use push notifications and only seem to receive the notification when I click on a chart. I would like the alerts anytime my levels are broken. I use an indicator MA Crossover and get alarms anytime the 10 and 50 moving averages cross. They come automatically. How can the price alert monitor and send alerts automatically?
It shouldn't be the case unless you close the chart completely. Try restarting your MT4 or re-installing the platform.
I use a symbol changer to go from chart to chart, never shut down or rarely shut down. Do you think the symbol changer is the cause of my problem? It does not affect the ma crossover sending alerts from all different charts, not just the one I select and while I am away from the house.
You mean you actually switch the chart’s symbol and expect the alerts to trigger on a symbol you switched from? That won’t work. Your other indicator probably analyzes multiple currency pairs set via input parameters or something. Most indicators, like Price Alert, analyze only the currency pairs it is attached to.
Price alert is attached to every pair in a template. Select a pair set the above and below, go to the next chart and set parameters for that pair until all are completed. Go back to review and everything is as I left it.

Yes, but are those charts open in parallel, like this?
Or are you just switching symbols on a single chart?
I messaged the guy who created the symbol changer and in fact it closes one window and opens another. As a work around I have all charts opened in tabs below my chart to see if it will work.
Which indicator are you asking about? This thread is about this Price Alert indicator. It looks like you are using something else, no?
it gave alert 22:05 when trendline was not hit. Otherwise so far worked well
How do I get the alert to play a selected sound, ie lets say a "ping" when it hits one of the alerts?

The alert sound it plays is the default one set up in MetaTrader. You can change it via Tools->Options->Events, there change the sound file for Alert. But this will change the alert sound for alerts within the platform.
Wait, does the script come automatically with a "sounded" alert ? I've only had 3 options, pop up/email/push, to which when triggered, does not play a sound. I'm a retard when it comes to this, is there something I need to change in the script itself ?
Thanks for taking the time.
The pop-up alert is accompanied by a sound unless you turn it off. That's how MetaTrader works.
Is there another script similar to what this does ? Sometimes the alert doesnt work until I restart my MT5 after i realised it didn't ping me. And sometimes when I try to enable the alert, it immediately turns it off again. I have deleted the rows that makes it only ping once so it pings me until I turn it off manually.
Thanks in advance for the suggestion.
Thanks in advance for the suggestion.
Appreciate the efforts for keeping up with the timely updates, seems to be working normally for now, unsure if the fix was done but am glad that its working.
Version 1.04 released today:
- Added a switch for the type of price used for alerts. It can be either: normal Ask/Bid (as before), Ask price only, Bid price only, or previous candle's Close. (Via GitHub issue and email requests)
- Changed alert buttons to work both ways — clicking it a second time will disable that alert. (Via GitHub issue)
- Fixed panel sizing and positioning on high-DPI screens. (Via GitHub issue)
- Fixed checkboxes de-ticking automatically after you tick them if there was already an alert event. (@TheColorBlack)
- Fixed panel's operation when accidentally deleting a line. (Via GitHub issue)
Thank you for the updates sir, I'll be sure to have a go at it, btw I'm unsure if I'm the only one facing this issue but sometimes the alerts only pop up when I'm at the selected forex pair, not when the condition is met, is there a potential issue with that ? I've tried restarting multiple times but it comes back after a period of time. My PC and MT5 runs 24/7 hence I draw the conclusion that the issue comes back after a certain period of time.
Thanks again for the help
