ALERT ON INDICATOR

[danvdm78]

Hello Apprentice,

First of all, thank you for your work.
I found a very interesting indicator "Super-signals_v3".
I let you look at the code I’m sending you to see if you find it well or if you can optimize it.
I would like to ask you if you can add alerts on the main signals buy/sell:
"push"
"notification"
"email"
"alert"
(enable/disabled) (true/false)

with the choice of all the timeframes for alerts (m1/m5/m15/m30/h1/h4/daily/weekly/monthly).

First of all, I ask you this because I would later like to ask you for an automated strategy with this indicator as a basis.

Here is the code of "Super-signals_v3". Thanks a lot!
