Macd signals

[TEAMTRADER]

Does anyone know of a signal box alert, other than a sound signal, that is available for the MACD?
Attached is a pdf of what I mean.

Got a signal MACD indi now - thanks.
SECOND QUESTION - Does anyone know of any reason why the SHI channel doesn't work on renko/range offline charts?
SHI indicator attached.
Thanks

hi TT

In order to find out how the SHI indicator works, you need to post up the mq4 file.
The ex4 that you posted is encrypted.

Thanks Trendie.
I copy and paste the code below if this helps someone......and I can't contact the original coder.
Regards

hi TT

Just a note to say I havent had a chance to look through this.
And won't be able to look at it in near term.
Hopefully, someone else will pick this up for you and resolve the issue.

However, as an initial thought, I wonder if the SHI doesnt work on Renko because renko is merging some of the bars into a different format, and thus making the bar-count on the SHI unworkable.

Also, you might also want to post up the code for the Renko indicator.
sorry cant be of more help.
have a great weekend.
