Retard the alert several seconds

New comment
 
Hello everyone.
I would like to modify this code so that the alert, instead of appearing at the opening of the candle, detects the conditions after a few seconds.

Thanks for everything, Massimo.


int start(){
if (BarStart !=Time[0]) 
{
  BarStart = Time[0]; 

  //Indicator Buffer 1
     
       if ( iRSI(NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, 2, PRICE_CLOSE, 0+1) > 70
      
      
      )
        {
         Buffer1[0] = Low[0] - iATR(NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, 14, 0); //Set indicator value at Candlestick Low - Average True Range
        }
      else
        {
         Buffer1[0] = 0;
        }
      //Indicator Buffer 2
    
      && iRSI(NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, 2, PRICE_CLOSE, 0) < 30
     
      )
        {
         Buffer2[0] = High[0] + iATR(NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, 14, 0); //Set indicator value at Candlestick High + Average True Range
        }
      else
        {
         Buffer2[0] = 0;
        }
     }
   return(0);
  }
 
omissamf: I would like to modify this code
  1. So what's stopping you. learn to code it, or pay someone. We're not going to code it FOR you. We are willing to HELP you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem.
  2. Have you tried
      BarStart = Time[0]; 
  Sleep(3000); RefreshRates();

 
Hello WHRoeder , thanks for the reply . I apologize for my behavior , but it was not my intent to offend and disrespect to anyone. I tried all day to change the code to accomplish this , but I did not succeed . They are the beginning of the study MQL4 . I ask again apologize administrators . Greetings , Massimo
 

Hello WHRoeder, I tried, but don't work!!! I tried in all ways, but do not understand where I'm wrong!!

Anyway, thanks for everything, Massimo. 

 
I don't see an alert in your code
 
Hello GunRai, I send you the complete code, so I'll explain. I could not delay the confirmation of the conditions of the candel opening (as it is doing now), but after 3 seconds, even the suggestion of WHRoeder. I can not understand where I'm wrong !!!

Thanks, Max.

You are correct; you are running an indicator.
int start(){
if (BarStart !=Time[0]) 
{
  BarStart = Time[0]; 
   Sleep(3000); RefreshRates(); //this code don't work
Try this
#define  MAX_DATETIME   D'3000.12.31 23:59:59'  // 32,535,215,999
#define  MIN_DATETIME   D'1970.01.01 00:00:00'  // Zero.

int start(){
static datetime alertTime = MAX_DATETIME;
if(TimeCurrent() > alertTime){ alertTime = MAX_DATETIME; Alert(...); }
if (BarStart !=Time[0]) 
{
  BarStart = Time[0]; 
  :
  if(condition) alertTime = TimeCurrent() + 3; // Delay
 
WHRoeder:
You are correct; you are running an indicator.
Try this

Thanks, now I study the code you posted me and then let you know.
For now, infinite thanks, Massimo.

WHRoeder Hello, I tried to change the code with your instructions. I tried various ways and that's what you send is what you have not errors, but the delay of about five seconds there is only sull'alert sound, while the arrows keep appearing exact opening of the candle.

Hello and thank you, Massimo.

#define  MAX_DATETIME   D'3000.12.31 23:59:59'  // 32,535,215,999
#define  MIN_DATETIME   D'1970.01.01 00:00:00'  // Zero.


int start(){
static datetime alertTime = MAX_DATETIME;
if (TimeCurrent() > alertTime)
{ alertTime = MAX_DATETIME;
 Alert(“ ATTENTION!!!!); }

if (BarStart !=Time[0]) 
{
  BarStart = Time[0]; 
  
//
     
      //Indicator Buffer 1
      if(iRSI(NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, 2, PRICE_CLOSE, 0) < 30
      
      )
        {
         alertTime = TimeCurrent() + 3;
         Buffer1[0] = Low[0] - iATR(NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, 14, 0);        }
      else
        {
         Buffer1[0] = 0;
        }
      //Indicator Buffer 2
      if(iRSI(NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, 2, PRICE_CLOSE, 0) > 70
     
      )
        {
                     alertTime = TimeCurrent() + 3;
         Buffer2[0] = High[0] + iATR(NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, 14, 0);                }
      else
        {
         Buffer2[0] = 0;
        }
     }
   return(0);
  }

omissamf: there is only sull'alert sound, 
  1. No idea what you meant.
  2. Alert(“ ATTENTION!!!!); }
    Try/post code that compiles.
 
WHRoeder:

I put ATTENTION !!! because it is the one that appears in sound / visual alert, but I'm trying, with your help, to delay the onset of the Arrow few seconds. In this case. Attention !!! It will appear after 5 seconds, while Arrows appear just open the candle.
Thanks for everything, Massimo.
