Hi all! I am looking for an alert system that can notify me when ANY stock (pink, otc) hits a 7 day high or something of the sort. The only alerting systems I can find are designed to watch an individual stock. Anyone know of something like this???

Hi guys, So I've coded up my expert in Amibroker with far less pain than anticipated (although I haven't started pushing the hard points on the to do list yet). My next step involves how to handle the alert outputs. I'm running around 20 symbols on various timeframes on RT feed. My early steps involved simply plotting the expert on the chart and tying this to an early warning alert, and a close of bar alert (output goes to alerts list, and I get a nice visual reference for early stages of building and checking the system as well as handy things like changing the chart background when a trade is about to confirm). With around 20 symbols on a single 5m timeframe Amibrokers resource meter is screaming 200% of capacity already, but time wise still processing everything fine, and CPU/Memory load is nothing. Do I need to worry about this? Opening a new Amibroker window for each timeframe seems one solution as the load is window specific as they the load drops as timeframes increase. Even so, loading up 100 or so charts obviously isn't the optimal solution given I just need alerts. Part of doing this is to cut back the number of screens and minimize the information I need to deal with. Thus an alert list telling me what chart to look at is somewhat ideal (ultimate goal is reduce it to smartphone capability to receive/act on alerts, but that's for later). So I'm thinking the following solutions : 1. I run it as a scan set to repeat say every 1 minute as this would be required to set off my alert which is timed for 60 seconds before bar close. Output results to a watchlist but this means keeping a close eye on it, or can I just tell the scan to output alerts as well? 2. Somehow reference the multiple timeframes from the AFL code within a single symbol chart (possibly using TimeFrameCompress function and giving it a hard list of what times to scan what timeframes). This would allow me to keep the graphical display alerts on the chart (color change) and address the trades from the alert list or text output in the chart header telling me what timeframe is confirming. It will substantially increase the AFL code load though. 3. I go to another platform better suited to this. Is anybody doing this successfully on other platforms? 4. Turn it over to something like Strategy Runner and automate it (a probable future side project exploration but not what I want at this point). Suggestions and advice appreciated :-)

Here is a new coding that I did to be able to remove the envelope, and/or the fantail lines; and get alerts instead. It is related on Walters Forex WVMA modified fantail version (really thanks to Bemac the coder). It is based on my own following observation and chart demo. I have been working with 50 ema envelopes (light blue dotted). This is showing a 15 pip offset from the 50 ema. I changed the black fantail line to white to see it. When the magenta and white lines BOTH expand beyond the width of the 15 pip envelope, it is a signal that the trend is greatly weakening and can soon pullback or reverse. This is shown with the red vertical lines. It is pretty consistent for the EUR/USD, and I use slightly bigger bands for other pairs. The small arrows (orange and blue) are part of the old audio alert system that I put together for VT that tell me when price closes (or crosses) near the 15 pip band. It has been modified for using only the magenta and white(black) band expansion as an exit readiness alert. By default the new added alert tells me when only the 2 mentioned fantail bands BOTH exceed the 14 (adjustable) pip envelope. It will also show pink arrows and audio alert. To turn these off right click on chart/ attached trading systems/ params enabled, and uncheck what you want for displays including the envelopes display. If you adjust the envelope size, also adjust the envelope alert margin for the price crossover. This turns off the price alerts at a set outer level. You may have to turn off the fantail alerts via the params settings when you are tired of listening to them. Install this via the trading system builder import function. Add it to a chart, as a trading system ONLY via the upper menu for add trading system. You can change the display colors and so on, by editing the trading system, rather that adjusting properties. Also if you want the entire 49 color fan tail you just need to add the outputs, they are still in the code. Remember to unzip the code, not open it with windows RAR. As usual, hope it is useful and let me know if you need further instructions. fan tail envelope alert.zip
