PNF reversal alert

[dang3276]

I think it would be helpful to have an alert feature associated with the PNF chart. I would like to be alerted (via a sound) when a reversal takes place. Would it be possible to code something like this?

I'm not capable of EFS coding (despite a couple attempts) so I hope someone can be of assistance here. Thank you.

Hi,

There was a really good recent chat on eSignal Alerts you might want to check out. It may not totally address your concern, but it was helpful for identifying what is available now.... just an idea until someone else responds.

dang3276,

This code should do the trick for you. It can be made this simple because of the way Point & Figure charts work. Only when a reversal takes place is a new bar built, so the code is alerting you to when a new bar is built.

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("PNF Reversal Alerts");
}

function main() {
    
    vBarState = getBarState();
        
    if (vBarState == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) Alert.playSound("ding.wav");
            
    return;

}

Jay,

Thanks for the code! i"m testing it out in real-time today. So far, one reversal and one alert so it's 1-for-1. Thank you for your help. I'll report back on its effectiveness.

Hi,

I look for a alerts function for the PNF chart,
the PNF breakouts recognizes for a long-short strategy
click hire (http://stockcharts.com/support/pnfAlerts.html).
Is one to be found in such a way "Wizard Alert.efs" in the forum?
Sorry for my bad English.
Best regards

Rodondo,

What I believe you are looking for is a pretty tall order. Looking at the various patterns from the link you provided, you may want to think about enlisting the help from one of the EFS Consultants that may be able to code something for you. These consultant services are fee based depending on the scope of the coding involved. Hope this gets you started.
