Today, I’ve prepared a shorter article about another important indicator that every serious trader should know about, the indicator Alarm4U. It is made particularly for price action traders, because it’s only purpose is to alert us, whenever a price reaches a certain level, for example trend lines that we can set up by ourselves, Fibonacci lines or any other lines.
What Does It Do?
- Alerts when a horizontal line, pre-set by the user, is reached
- Alerts when a trend line, pre-set by the user, is reached
- Alerts when a Fibonacci line, pre-set by the user, is reached
- Can send an email alert
- Can show a pop-up window alert
How To Set It Up?
- Download the indicator here for free
- Extract the archive and place into an appropriate form (manual here)
- Run the MT4 and in the Menu on the top select Insert – > Indicators -> Costum -> Alarm4U
- A set up window will pop up, where you set up everything necessary (I’ll tell you in a moment how) and click OK
- Draw in Fibonacci lines, trend lines or anything that you’d like to use the alarm on.
Explanation on how to set up indicators
Preview of Alarm4U indicator set up
What do all these lines mean? Let’s have a look
- AddAlarm: Will the alarm go off? True = Yes, False=No
- AlarmDist: Number of pips when the alarm will be triggered. If it’s set to 10, it’s enough for the price to come as close to the line as 10 pips and the alarm will be triggered.
- AlarmHLine: Will the alarm go off for the horizontal lines?
- AlarmTLine: Will the alarm go off for the trend lines?
- AlarmRect: Will the alarm go off if the price touches a drawn rectangle?
- AlarmFib: Will the alarm go off for the Fibonacci lines?
- AlarmFibExp: I don’t know what this means 🙁
- DisplaySettings: Settings will be displayed
- CommentAlarm: Alarm comments
- EmailAlarm: Will we receive an email alert?
- PopupAlarm: Will we receive a pop up window alert?

I've wanted to build a business of some kind and earn money since I was in middle school. I wasn't very successful though until my senior year in highschool, when I finally started to think about doing online business. Nowadays I profitably trade binary options full-time and thus gladly share my experiences with you. More posts by this author
Good day Sir.
Does it also work with MT5? I tried so hard to download MT4 on my system, but I always end up with MT5. If it does, how do I incorporate the signal to MT5.
Thank you.

Hello,
I have never tried it with the meta trade 5, but I guess it should work. It’s a basic indicator.
Let us know, if it works, thank you 😉
I installed it but nothing really happened.
No reports of signals.
How is that possible?
Hi Ben, you have to first set it up, and also, the price has to move in the near of your lines. Can you elaborate on your problem?
Wow, thanks.
Yeah great indie, thanks!!
Thanks alot for good work!
Thanks a lot.Long time searching for that.
