MAs Cross Alert with Sound


The Moving Average Alert Cross Over Strategy
Using MA 13 and 21 on 1 hr Chart

Author: Gregor Anton


When a cross over occurs a sound file is played, an alert is displayed and a log entry is also made.
No Trade is placed.

I use this strategy to monitor trading opportunities without having to be glued to the PC.  Speakers on high to hear the sound file.  Great for late night trading when you’re watching TV with one eye open and are about to doze off, to be awakened by the sound of money.

To install:

Unzip the attached files.
Be sure to leave the path and filename for the sound intact, the strategy uses C:\MySounds\alert.wav

Click ActFx >> Launch Strategy >> Add >> Select the AlertOnMACrossOverWithSound.act file

To Run:

Click ActFx >> Launch Strategy >> Select the Strategy >> Run
Resize the window so you can see the Start Strategy Button
On the Settings Tab click the ... to change the MA’s and Currency
Click Start Strategy

To Change the Sound file:
Edit the strategy file and replace C:\MySounds\alert.wav with the path and filename of your soundfile.

Note:  You’ll want to try this in demo first.

Thanks a lot, Gregor! I wish I could have the whole variety of such advisors running in the platform background, on different instruments, and sending me alerts when necessary :)

I'm working on that actually!

PLUS I'm working on email/sms alerts.

I'm working on my next release right now and am looking for some ideas on how to beef this up.

My next release will allow you to set multiple currency pairs, plus include options for sell or buy alerts, and make the message box optional.

Any ideas please reply to this post or send me an email.

Here is the latest version, made quite a few enhancements:

  • Multiple Currency Pairs - 13 in total - pre-loaded
  • Cleaned up the sound files and enabled multiple sound files.
  • Disabled Message Window as it pauses the alerts.  Check the log file instead for past alerts.
Here are the files:

This is perfect just what i've been looking for i couldnt find this anywhere so i had to make a new post on the forum. i'm going to use the old version for now as i need the message to pop up shame the sound wont work along side it though as it would be usefull. it would be great if you made it so it can send emails as you stated your going to implement. Also is there any reason why its based on a stratergy instead of an indicator?
