constant sound

[velocity]

I am trying to get a sound to constantly play for 1 minute. I have the following code and the sound plays on each new bar. How do I get it to play constantly for the 1 minute.

protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
// Use this method for calculating your indicator values. Assign a value to each
// plot below by replacing 'Close[0]' with your own formula.
Plot0.Set(Close[0]);
if (CurrentBar < (5))
return;

if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= 74500 && ToTime(Time[0]) <= 74600)
{PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds\Alert1.wav");}

If calculateonbarclose = true, it will only call OnBarUpdate once per Close.

If false, it will call it each tick, which could be quite annoying for sounds, so you might want to do some more code to call it every 10 ticks or 20 ticks, etc. (use a local variable like x, and increment it, then reset it on firsttickofbar).

// variables

private int x = 0;

// initialize

CalculateOnBarClose = false;

// onbarupdate

if (FirstTickOfBar)
x = 0;

if (x > 10)
{ PlaySound(); x=0; }
else
x++;


Just typed this haven't tested, but should be general idea.
