wow thks a lot..........good job man..........
may i ask you how to have a sound when the alert window is coming ?
should i put a soundfile somewhere in ctrader ?
and also even if i can see that code line if (High[0] - Low[0] >= LevelSizePip) the alert window is coming only when high - low > levelsizepip..........Do you know why please ?
best regards

Hi jeanclaude,
I'm glad to tell you that now sound in alert window is supported. So you don't need to put sound file anywhere, just reconvert your indicator.
and also even if i can see that code line if (High[0] - Low[0] >= LevelSizePip) the alert window is coming only when high - low > levelsizepip..........Do you know why please ?
To check this behavior I wrote indicator that shows height of bar in points:
Regarding to this picture everything is good.

Hello jeanclaude,
cAlgo doesn't support colors as a parameters for indicators, so you need to specify another color in mq4 code and then convert indicator:
I'am investigating this issue about missing alert window. I will let you know when it will be fixed.
