In order for the indicator to begin to gives signals, you must link it to the desired level lines on the chart. To do this, we insert standard horizontal lines on the currency pair chart and customize them at our discretion (color, size, description, etc.).

Select the line we need on the chart, click the right mouse button on it and in the line description specify the command of the indicator Alert_10. This is the command to our indicator to give an alert when the price will touch the selected line. And, the figure after the lower underscore in the indicator command means the number of pips from the given level when the signal should sound. In other words, if our level (as in the picture) on the USDCHF pair is set at 0.97971, and the value of the indicator Alert_10, then the signal will occur 10 pips to the level at the price value of 0.997961. The algorithm of the indicator is set up in such a way that it simply constantly compares the quotation of the currency pair with the parameters of the indicator you set in the level settings and gives a signal when these values ​​coincide. In the end, you can customize the signal as you like. Consider the fact that with fast price movements in the forex market, terminal and indicator it takes a few seconds to generate a signal and send it to you.



The command should be specified exactly in the “Description” setting and exactly how I wrote Alert_5. With a large first letter and with a lower underscore, with no spaces or quotes. You can only change the numbers by the number of pips you need from the line. Trying a couple of times you can easily figure out the installation and setting of the indicator.

Forex indicator Alerter produces a signal only once. After that, the command in the description for the line is erased. To connect the signal to the same line again, you need to specify the necessary indicator command in the line settings. In real trading it is very convenient, because you get only the signal you need and the indicator does not irritate you with unnecessary sounds and notifications. At each price chart, you can set signals to any number of lines without restrictions.
