Doji Alert Code

  Hi – I am completely new to programming and I have a very simple request.  I am trying to write code that will create an alert when a doji candle, on a given timeframe, is closed.  Let’s say the criterium is body <= 5% of the range.    Would be very grateful if anyone can help.  Thanks.

  Hi! here you have the code.

  body=abs(open-close) doji=body<=range*0.05 return doji

  1 2 3 4

  body=abs(open-close) doji=body<=range*0.05   return doji

  Next step, configure an alert.

  Hi Iván – thank you very much for your help with this.  I’ve loaded the code ok as a new indicator.  I’ve set up an Alarm which I’ve configured to go off each time.  I get an alarm notification when I hit Create/Modify Alerts but non when qualifying dojis form.   Just wondered if you have any advice.  I have attached the Alarm setting.  Many thanks.

  Please ignore my last message it’s now working fine, I had the alert set incorrectly.  Thanks again for your help!
