Hi,

You should reference all DLL files inside Release zip file you downloaded, then it will work.

I strongly recommend you to use Visual Studio and install the alert library via Nuget.

Visual Studio is free, you can download it from here: Visual Studio - Visual Studio (microsoft.com)

Hi,

Your code was correct, I tested and the popup showed up.

Check the cTrader automate logs tab, if your code calls the ShowPopup method and the popup didn't showed up then you most probably will see an error message on logs tab.

finally i get pop up notification in ctrader but with sample code in Github..

with my code i didn't get any pop up yet.

i need help to complete MACD alert indicator.

if you could give me a sample how cross over histogram with zero lever or cross signal line with histogram i could complete this indicator. and after that i could complete other alert indicator for community.

thank in advance

        }


        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {

            Macd[index] = _Macd.Histogram[index];
            if (_Macd.Histogram.Last(1) > 0 && _Macd.Histogram.Last(2) <= 0)
            {
                Notifications.ShowPopup(MarketSeries.TimeFrame, Symbol, TradeType.Buy, "AcademyWave.com", Symbol.Bid, "Macd cross Above zero", Server.Time);
            }

            if (_Macd.Histogram.Last(1) < 0 && _Macd.Histogram.Last(2) >= 0)
            {
                Notifications.ShowPopup(MarketSeries.TimeFrame, Symbol, TradeType.Sell, "AcademyWave.com", Symbol.Bid, "Macd cross Below zero", Server.Time);
            }
        }
    }
}

i write this code. but it has lag and show many pop ups.

how could i use close indicator data. not last value.

Ho,

Try this:

using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Alert;
using System;
using cAlgo.API.Alert.Utility;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = false, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.FullAccess)]
    public class AlertTest : Indicator
    {
        public MacdHistogram _Macd;
        
        private int _lastAlertBar;

        [Parameter("source")]
        public DataSeries Source { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Long Cycle 1", DefaultValue = 26)]
        public int LongCycle1 { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Short Cycle 1", DefaultValue = 12)]
        public int ShortCycle1 { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Signal 1", DefaultValue = 9)]
        public int inpSingal1 { get; set; }

        public IndicatorDataSeries Macdup { get; set; }
        [Output("Macd", LineColor = "Red", Thickness = 2, PlotType = PlotType.Histogram)]

        public IndicatorDataSeries Macd { get; set; }

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            _Macd = Indicators.MacdHistogram(Source, LongCycle1, ShortCycle1, inpSingal1);
        }


        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {

            Macd[index] = _Macd.Histogram[index];
            
            if (index == _lastAlertBar) return;
            
            _lastAlertBar = index;
            
            if (_Macd.Histogram[index - 1] > 0 && _Macd.Histogram[index - 2] <= 0)
            {
                Notifications.ShowPopup(MarketSeries.TimeFrame, Symbol, TradeType.Buy, "AcademyWave.com", Symbol.Bid, "Macd cross Above zero", Server.Time);
            }

            if (_Macd.Histogram[index - 1] < 0 && _Macd.Histogram[index - 2] >= 0)
            {
                Notifications.ShowPopup(MarketSeries.TimeFrame, Symbol, TradeType.Sell, "AcademyWave.com", Symbol.Bid, "Macd cross Below zero", Server.Time);
            }
        }
    }
}

It uses the last closed bar MACD value not the current open bar.

RE: ctrader crashed

Hi,

Something is wrong with alert XML configuration files, it located at cAlgo folder.

There is an Alerts folder inside cAlgo folder, delete it and retry.

Also please copy and post the full log of exception so I will be able to find the exact issue.
