Hello,

first of all, congratulations, awesome indicator.

I tried to make a change but i cant and i need your help.

The idea is if Buyers are superior to sellers, highlight buyers 'color, for example, it stays green and sellers' color is gray.

Can you help me with the code? i cant make IF structure because are difrent methods and i dont know convert.

Thank you

The idea was that it would send an email to the address you specify in the parameters of the indicator warning of high volatility on an instrument, so it is not spam.

But thank you for bringing the multiple emails to my attention, I have now removed the email feature as it was just a nice to have.

I haven't tried this indicator but doesn't it spam emails with each tick when higher than defined volatility?

Sound alert re-added, after investigation it was found that this indicator did not freeze the platform.

Update: Removed sound alert feature as this caused cTrader to freeze.

Hi SKhan,

 

I will have it ready by Monday, it would be good if anybody could correct the logic if incorrect so that we have a good working tool for all to use, I am new to this industry and the cAlgo object model, so still learning its features.
