Codersguru,

2) Sound and pop up alerts when price touches any of the 5 lines.

It would be great if u could help. Thanks...

the indicator is for drawing trend line
all I want is to be able to change the thinkness of the trend line

How write an alarm for having it only 1 time and not again and again ?

Thanks for help.

Jo

Many functions are here http://www.forex-tsd.com/general-dis...ing-forum.html

And alert_once thread is here Alert Once (Brain Damage)!

Does this say that the Lowest of my indicator (4 bars back) should be less than or equal 0?? If not, how should it be stated?

that's not right, you can look post 516 on page 52
the way you calculate lowest of indicator is not correct

When I put this into my EA program, it says the iForex_Grail - function is not defined?? Forex_Grail is the name of my custom indicator.


Maybe it is to be stated: lowestFG=MathMin(lowestFG, iCustom(NULL,0,"Forex-Grail Trade Indicator",period,PRICE_CLOSE,currentBar)); ??
