Fractals indicator with Alert
Here is the Fractals indicator which I implemented my alert library on it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=11btllj6A4-HV04SEDKvofvdA7F3Cy9YD

RE:
matt_graham_92@hotmail.com said:
Ahmad, I can't thank you enough for your tremendous efforts in creating an alert for every new bar, and every new bar of color change, absolutely indcredible work! You have just given the entire cTrader community an alert notification via your alert library indicator a way to see at what time each renko bar has opened/closed. I find that amazing! A very powerful tool. I am very grateful that you were able to update this alert in a timely fashion so that it has no more bugs and works flawlessly! All the pop-up, sound alert, e-mail, and telegram alerts for mobile, it truely is a high quality alert indicator powered with the renko bar alerts, Its awesome!
What I'm trying to use this for is to be alerted upon a new bar so that I can go check my chart(s) and see if the new bar has determined a crossover for my HMA or not, and then I have to keep checking continuously every new bar until the HMA (Hull Forcast custom cTrader indicator) proceeds to make the crossover, and then again, repeated.. Check every new bar until cross over.... And well it gets a bit tiresome, when I don't actually need an alert for every new bar printed, but more so an alert for every new dot color change - every new dot of a different color, either red or white dot.. on the HullForcast (HMA custom indicator for cTrader) indicator. Which can be found here with code. https://ctrader.com/algos/indicators/show/1696
Now, I know I have already messaged you about this on your site in the livechat, and you told me $30USD for the alert indicator that will notify me upon every new dot of a different color change. That is a great deal, very fair and I would simply have already just paid for it if I had $30USD, I still will pay for it, I just can't buy it right now, I don't have any income, so I can't just get $30 even though its only $30. I dont even have $30 right now and haven't for months. I am curious if the alert for every dot color change of the HMA, if the notification will also come via your alert library indicator? If so, is it an add on to the HMA indicator, and the 2 indicators will work simultaneously with one another, or do you add the alert library indicator to the HMA, so that it is 1 indicator? Much like the New Renko Bar Alert you have created. Because I noticed that the HMA(Hullforcast) does already have an alert notification (for dot color change), but problem is that its only a sound alert, no pop up, nothing.. so its impossible to receive the alert when not at the desk. When looking at your Alert Popup window indicator, It appears that it can be simply added to most, if not, any indicator by adding in the given code, I just don't know where to add it, I will mess it up, I know how to go about doing it in Automate section of cTrader, but after that I'm pretty much lost, and it can't get any easier than this, copy/paste. So I'm stuck writing to you instead, too see how I can go about getting the actual alert indicator I need for myself.
I am asking if you are willing to share the alert indicator for Hullforcast (HMA) - alert upon new dot color change. Not every dot, just the color change. I'm not certain if you already built it or will have built it momentarily upon reciveing the $30USD. Either way I can fully understand why you would not want to share everything free of charge, And I will have no other option but to purchase, but I had to at least ask, I will pay you for it in the future, even if I dont use it in any way after a few days. Thank you once again, I'm extremely grateful to even have the chance to buy what I need if I cant get it free source. I appreciate you and respect your decision.

You forgot the color picker, date time picker, and time picker parameters.
If you allow us to iterate over all open charts and each chart attached indicators, objects, and cBots, that will be a really huge thing and it will open the door for lots of new exciting stuff.
We should be able to remove an indicator/cBot from a chart or start/stop the indicator both via an indicator and cBot (this feature must be available for all chart objects inside "Charts" collection, not just the indicator/cBot current chart).
The other cool feature will be adding a new section to indicator/cBot parameters window that allows the user to change the indicator/cBot time zone, so the programmer will be able to set a default time zone via the Robot/Indicator attributes TimeZone property but the user must be able to change that default time zone on indicator/cBot parameters window, you can add a new section like "Outputs" in indicator parameters window for that.
The Chart object must have a "Close" public method, so whenever you call the method it will close the chart.

Version 3.3 Released
Lots of new features have been added!
- Now you can add multiple orders on a single protection, you don't have to add separate SL/TP protections for each order
- The app now shows each protection open and triggered orders
- We change it from the order based to protection based model, now orders are linked to a protection not protections to orders

You can copy the exception detail and post it here, anyway it looks like there is an issue with your selected sound file path for the sound alert.
You can reset the indicator to its first state by deleting its settings file which is located here:

Delete the file "AlertPopupSettings_2.0.1.4.xml" and "Alerts_2.0.1.4.db", then test the indicator.

I appreciate the reply! Sry i dont know why i didnt think of that, just goes to show how terrible i am lol. I also dont understand your instructions on how to fix the problem, i tried but i dont know where to find %userprofile%\Documents\cAlgo or where to delete the file "AlertPopupSettings_2.0.1.4.xml" and "Alerts_2.0.1.4.db" from :\
I am able to find the folder of the indicator, but all i can do is add it to my cTrader or delete it. I have just deleted it again for now, trying to get it to work :)
ThanksLook open Windows Run by pressing Window Button+R, and then type the following command:
%userprofile%\Documents\cAlgo
Click on the "Ok" button and it will open the cAlgo directory, there you will find the "AlertPopupSettings_2.0.1.4.xml" and "Alerts_2.0.1.4.db" files, delete both and test again the indicator.
I was able to replicate your issue, you have enabled the sound notification but not selected any sound file, once you removed the alert settings file the indicator will start to work fine again.
Its a minor bug on alert library and we will release a fix for it, but you should not enable the sound notification if you haven't selected a sound file.
I appreciate the detailed instructions greatly! I was able to get the sound alert to play once adding a sound file, so that was a success. Although I am still currently having trouble getting the telegram notification to play, I turned off the sound alert, and just started trying to get the telegram alert to work. I have deleted those 2 files you mentioned, before adding the alert indicator to the chart, Then once the alert indicator is added, I setup the telegram alert settings, by entering Channel name and bot token. It adds. But then on the next alert, something bugs it up again and causes cTrader to crash! So I don't receive an alert. This is the message I'm getting. I will be immensely happy if I'm able to get the telegram notification working so that I can receive alerts to my phone. Thank you

Click on the "Ok" button and it will open the cAlgo directory, there you will find the "AlertPopupSettings_2.0.1.4.xml" and "Alerts_2.0.1.4.db" files, delete both and test again the indicator.
I was able to replicate your issue, you have enabled the sound notification but not selected any sound file, once you removed the alert settings file the indicator will start to work fine again.
Its a minor bug on alert library and we will release a fix for it, but you should not enable the sound notification if you haven't selected a sound file.
