For some strange reason, i get the error message: [string "BBands_Stop_Signal.lua"]:49: The indicator with the requested id is not found. This happens when i try to apply the signal to a currency pair. Any suggestions as how to fix this problem?
Cheers

thanks!

Have you tried to switch "Play Sound" parameter to "Yes" and then choose the sound file (any wav file, the default Trading Station set is located here: "C:\Program Files\Candleworks\FXTS2\Sounds\")?

Is it possible to update this signal to employ the new email alert feature in the latest TS II update?

Thanks!

Strategy has been added to cue?

Do you know how long it will take?

rules:

Enter buy/sell when initial signal is given (long or short).

sell half at +10 (hopefully you can set it up where you can change the amount)...

second half out when signal reverses.

Thank you!

To Merchantprince

I wrote a Strategy which is identical to the signal.
It has email functionality.
You can find it here.
