I've written code to alert when MA9 corss MA18(for example)
but when I excute the alert in 10 minites time frame
the Alert keeps triggered every 10 minute.
What I need is that it triggered once only until next condition meet again.

Thanks

Code: Select all


input:QQ(168), a1(9), a2(18);

var:ma1(0),ma2(0);

ma1=average(close,a1);

ma2=average(close,a2);

condition1= CurrentBar > 1 and ma1 cross over ma2;

condition2= CurrentBar > 1 and ma1 cross under ma2;

if condition1 or condition2  then

	playsound("d:\sound\GC.wav") ;

	Alert(GetSymbolName);

Cleaned up the code for you:

Code: Select all


INPUTS:

	QQ( 168 ), 

	A1( 9 ), 

	A2( 18 ) ;

	

VARIABLES:

	Ma1(0),

	Ma2(0);



	Ma1 = Average( C, A1 ) ;

	Ma2 = Average( C, A2 ) ;



	if Ma1 crossed over Ma2 then Alert( GetSymbolName ) ;

	if Ma1 crossed under Ma2 then Alert( GetSymbolName ) ;

Also, check your alert settings setting and apply the sound file here:

The problem is in your code...
you need a BEGIN and END block.

Code: Select all




input:QQ(168), a1(9), a2(18);

var:ma1(0),ma2(0);



ma1=average(close,a1);

ma2=average(close,a2);

condition1= CurrentBar > 1 and ma1 cross over ma2;

condition2= CurrentBar > 1 and ma1 cross under ma2;



if condition1 or condition2  then

BEGIN

	playsound("d:\sound\GC.wav") ;

	Alert(GetSymbolName);

END;
