VR Alert notifies the trader under given conditions

Review

VR Alert is a utility made in the form of an indicator and designed to notify a trader about the rise or fall in price or another indicator. The program was written in order to free the trader's time from constantly sitting in front of monitors. VR Alert monitors the price and other indicators attached to the chart and when the level given by the trader is reached, the utility sends a notification to the trader on his smartphone, email, on the chart (Repaints it in red) or plays an audio file.

Signal levels on the chart can be inclined in the form of trend segments, which allows to limit the signals in time, they can simply be horizontal levels. Each level has an information field which contains the name of the signal, the price of the level, and the selected notification methods.

Important! The version of the indicator for MetaTrader 5 has more functionality than the version for MetaTrader 4. Due to the advanced architecture of the MetaTrader 5 terminal, the VR Alert indicator in MetaTrader 5 can monitor not only the price, but also any other indicators. Select the indicator, the values that you need to get, set the levels and when the indicator reaches the given level, you will immediately receive a notification on your smartphone or email. At the moment of launch, the utility scans the chart for the presence of other indicators. Those indicators that have a visible part on the chart are observed by VR Alert. All indicators that can be tracked get their own control panel. If the indicator has no visible part or has no drawn buffers, the indicator is excluded from observation.

Being in front of the charts and in front of the monitor for a long time, most traders, including me, get the "Blurred Eye" effect. Looking at their trading strategy, they do not see real good signals and, on the contrary, where there is nothing, they see their own signals. In order not to sit around the clock in front of the terminal, this indicator was written. As a result of using the utility, traders receive timely price movement notifications, get less tired, have a clearer view of the market situation, receive alerts while being far from their terminal.

Advantages

Algorithm of operation

The indicator has four notification systems in case if the price or the indicator has reached the set values:

• Smartphons notification - the indicator will send a Push message to the trader on his smartphone with the name of the trading instrument
• E-Mail notification - the indicator will send an e-mail to the trader on his mailbox with the name of the indicator and the trading instrument

Profitability

6 years ago, after an 11-hour working day, I was sitting in front of a small monitor and building my trading system. I was tired and worn out like an African slave. I studied the indicators in detail, I wrote and changed something in the code of my trading system. As a result, I found my own trading method, which I later called VR System. The system showed signals when the indicators changed, and it showed not too bad. But there was one big problem. The signals appeared at any time of the trading day. There were signals in the afternoon, there were in the evening and in the morning. And so, before work, you look at the chart and see that the signal should be in the next hour. What to do, how to be, how not to miss the signal. Also, on the days when I was at home, I sat in front of the monitor for hours waiting for a signal. I sat, waited, went to the store for bread, and while I was running, the signal had already worked and worked much more than I expected... Damn... How is that??? What to do, how not to miss the signal, I asked myself. That's how the idea came to me to write an indicator-utility that warns me in advance that the price has risen or the indicator has fallen.

I worked out the VR Alert so that I would receive signals to my smartphone, and when at home, that the indicator would make a sound in the speakers. As a result, being on the balcony and sorting potatoes, I was no longer worried and was sure that I would not miss the signal. My statistics have changed, and if earlier I missed 8-9 out of 10 signals, now I missed 1-2 signals and only those that were at night. Try it, maybe the indicator will help you too... Success attend you....

Recommendations

1. Configure the terminal to send Push messages on your smartphone.
2. Configure the terminal to send E-Mail messages on your mailbox.
3. Just drag and drop the indicator to the chart from the navigator with the mouse. You will see the names of all the indicators attached to the chart and the panels for setting levels and activating notification.
4. Select the required level up or down for the line to appear and select notification methods.
5. VR Alert will notify you in the selected way when the price or indicator reaches the given level.
6. You can customize the color schemes of the utility to your liking.
7. The indicator cannot work in the strategy tester, just rent the program for a short time to test it in operation.

Use the MetaTrader 5 terminal and the VR Alert MT5 indicator version, you can monitor not only the price, but also any other indicators.
