Having said that I'm hoping someone can help me with my "alerts" issue. Quite a few of the indicators I've tested (not all), alerts go off whenever I toggle between other pairs or time frames. Example: I receive an alert on a 1hr chart, I click on a lower time frame to access. When ever I click back on the 1hr the alert goes off. If I click on another currency pair and come back the alert goes off again. It just keeps going off whenever I click on it. Is this an MT4 issue or is there a way to have alerts go off just one time per bar? I have the option of "alert on current bar" set as false.

Again, this doesn't happen with all indicators, but enough of them to have me curious whether it'something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Welcome here, about the alerts issue,it's hard to say what the issue could be without looking in the code.

Welcome to the family my friend.

From what it sounds like, the alert options set to current bar is "ON". In your indicator's options, can you see this (highlighted in yellow)?

PS: If you can, please post and upload the indicator to your response so we can understand it a bit better

I realized that the alert will continue to go off until the candle closes. I tried testing same indicators using 1 minute time frame and the alerts stopped after the candles closed. All good (I think). Thanks again.
