Alert only appearing once

[DionysusToast]

Here's an odd one - I have an alert message in my code as follows:

				if ( condition )
				{
					// Generates an alert
					Alert("myAlert", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "Delta, Tick Divergence", "Alert4.wav", 1, trade.BackColor, trade.TickForeColor);
					Print("Alerted");
				}

What happens is I see plenty of "Alerted" Print statements but I only ever see the first alert.

See the attached pics. I have the alert within the onMarketData event on a 60 minute chart. Ideally, it would show every alert I trigger.

Any thoughts on why it only shows the first?

Thanks

Hi Pete, so it would fire again if you reset the Alert window, correct? Have you tried using a unique string id for each alert then?

I tried altering the message so that each message was unique. In the attached pic, the alerts were about 10 mins apart.

Interestingly - if I reset the alert window, it does indeed show the next alert after the reset but then it won't show a successive alert.

Pics attached.

Hi Pete, one thing you could then do is implementing a programmatic reset of the Alert raised:

I figured out where I was going wrong. I wasn't assigning a unique id for each alert.

As soon as I did that, it started working just fine.

Thanks
