macd signal line cross alert
22 Dec 2021, 21:33

i find this code for macd alert.

cTDN Forum - Adding a Crossover alert (ctrader.com)

i dont' know how to add signal line cross histogram to it?

other problem is about this library. i add it to indicator and now it has 10 megabyte. is there any way to reduce size of this indicator? i just need pop up alert without telegram and email.

how can i add sound to alert?

using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Alert;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = false, TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.FullAccess)]
    public class MacdHistogramAlert : Indicator
    {
        #region Fields

        private MacdHistogram _macdHistogram;

        private int _lastAlertBarIndex;

Hi,

What do you mean by: "i dont' know how to add signal line cross histogram to it?"

Can you show this on a chart screenshot?

Not sure about the exact size of library but if you use the newer version library the size might reduce.

You don't need that library to show a popup alert or play a sound alert.

cTrader automate API has the email and sound alert itself under Notifications: cAlgo API Reference - INotifications Interface (ctrader.com)
