Macd signals/alert

[TEAMTRADER]

There seem to be a lot of good indicators for MACD giving signals for crossover of ma's.
I've attached two of those that I consider to be good and settings can be adjusted to the timeframe traded.
I'd like a signal on screen with a box alert to say when the MACD crosses zero.
The second of these attached indicators has a box that suggests that it does this but as it does not give a chart signal, it is not possible to perform backtests.
Is there another MACD indi that will give zero cross on screen signals?
Thanks

I am sure there are many MACD signal alert trigger type indicators or EAs.
The alert is simply triggered when the last bar (fully closed) value is X and the previous closed bar is Y, where X and Y are the cross-over points. eg, If X is >0 and and Y<0 type stuff.

The files you have posted are encrypted .ex4 files.
You would need to post the editable .mq4 files for someone to actually apply the simple additional code.
Good luck.

Thanks, attached are the files.
I had not thought of someone adapting as there may have been another indicator available that I had not seen (after a thorough search I could not find one).

I've given up on the MACD alert as above...........I am not a coder.
SECOND QUESTION
I've searched everywhere for a MA coss alert that incorporates the shift part of the MA setting - see attached.
Does anyone know of one and if so could it be posted?
Many thanks
