Placing a 5 EMA on the chart and setting same in the indicator properties then running the indicator you'll see that the alert will sound when the Gann has crossed. I can't see the 10 pip difference you mention.

Maybe it's when it crosses the 0 on mine... when you set the Gann I have and the one you have they don’t line up with each other. It’s close but the difference between the two decides whether or not you reach your pips.

Here is a screen shot of what the two lines look like on my chart... I may not be setting it right because the wording is different between the 2 indicators

I see the difference now. The version you posted was an ex4 file which is compiled and can not be altered. Banzai posted the source code for Gann ActivatorV2 from which I was able to add the MA cross code and signal logic.

I can see from the Banzai source code that the Gann Activatorv2 uses a fixed SMA mode in it's calculations. If the compiled version that you posted is different in some respect then that could be the explanation.

To test this I have added another user input which allows you to set the MA mode used by the Gann Activator:-
MODE_SMA 0 Simple moving average,
MODE_EMA 1 Exponential moving average,
MODE_SMMA 2 Smoothed moving average,
MODE_LWMA 3 Linear weighted moving average.

4 modes altogether 0 - 3. It's default is SMA which is 0.

I like your indicator but -when you have a popup alert it does not tell you what chart it is from. something like alert on euro/usd 15m

thank you for your indicator

Just append Symbol() and Period() functions in all Alert functions.

eg : Alert("HiLo dot below MA"+" "+Symbol()+" "+Period(), MA_Period);

This should do the trick...

toddanderson · #**1027** (**permalink**) 11-15-2007, 03:47 PM

I copy and pasted
("HiLo dot below MA"+" "+Symbol()+" "+Period(), MA_Period);

And i am getting errors when i compile, But i will keep working with it
thanks for your help

You can try this,
("HiLo dot below MA "+Symbol()+" "+Period()+", "+MA_Period+"");

I believe MA_Period is a variable right?
