Thanks! You were correct. TS was not configured to send e-mail. Explanation for anyone else reading this: you enter the recipient e-mail address into the indicator for the alert, but TS also needs sender information in order to send an e-mail alert. The e-mail alerts tell you what pair it is alerting on (very helpful). If you are using it with another indicator (e.g. RSI), it does not tell you "RSI" in the e-mail alert, but it does tell you what value the line was crossed at (so you can deduce what it is alerting on if you also happen to have a line crossing alert set up on piece on the same pair).

The only problem now is this: I did a few limited tests with the indicator and found that it seems to alert for crossing under, but not for crossing over.

Thanks!

There is still a problem. I have tested the indicator (MLCA) more extensively now and I find that it alerts for "Cross Under" only, and never for "Cross Over." I looked at the program, but could not find what could be wrong (the logic appears to be correct, but I don't know lua very well).

It would also be helpful if the instrument name could be included in the subject line of the e-mail alert (to be able to see at a glance which pairs have alerted without having to open the messages).

It might also be useful if there was an option to alert only if the line crossing persists on the candle close (ignore temporary crossing by candle wicks).

Thanks.

Hi:
Thanks in advance for your precious time.

This is EXACTLY what I need .... IF (in addition to activating the ALERT) .... it can ALSO execute enter() and exit() trades upon crossing that amazing trend line.

Could this be done????????
Or impossible .. too good to be true !!!!
