Alerts on COBC=false

[cachevery]

Hi Support,

How to prevent the code from firing alerts on COBC=false when the value is touched?It works good on COBC = true.

Thanks

Hello cachevery,

Thank you for your post.

If you want to use CalculateOnBarClose = false you could use FirstTickOfBar to ensure the alerts only fire once per bar:

if(FirstTickOfBar)
{
// Your alert.
}

You can find a reference sample on this item at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=19387

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Patrick,the code uses OnBarUpdate method

[cachevery]

I want the alerts to behave the same way,either it`s COBC= true or false.Is there a way to do that?

Hello cachevery,

Thank you for your response.

Are you trying to have the alert go off when running CalculateOnBarClose = false or true? Do you want the alert to go off intra-bar or on the close of the bar?

What I suggest to do is the following

(1) Historical bars -> no alerts
(2) COBC = true -> trigger alert when the condition has been met for the current bar
(3) COBC = false -> with the first tick of each bar check whether the condition has been met for the prior bar

For example:

[COLOR=Blue]if [/COLOR](soundAlert && !Historical && IsConnected()) 
[COLOR=Green]// only trigger alerts for real-time bars when connected)[/COLOR]
{ 
      [COLOR=Blue]if[/COLOR](CalculateOnBarClose)
      {      
          [COLOR=Blue] if[/COLOR](condition[0])
          [COLOR=Green] // put your sound alert here[/COLOR]
      }
      [COLOR=Blue]else if[/COLOR](FirstTickOfBar && condition[1])
      {
          [COLOR=Green]// put your sound alert here[/COLOR]
      }
}

As i said i want both COBC =tru/false to behave equally.But when i set COBC = false itt`s firing alrets every second.I wnan the alers to go off intra-bar and on the bar close,depending on what i need.

No,it doesn`t fly.I get different kind of errors when i try to implement this snippet

Hello cachevery,

Thank you for your response.

When would you want the alert to trigger on CalculateOnBarClose = true? When would you want to see the alert trigger on CalculateOnBarClose = false? This may be as simple as a variable for re-arm seconds.

I don`t understand you question,Patrick.What do you mean by ''When''?

Whenever i want,i guess.

Hello cachevery,

Thank you for your note.

So you do not want to use FirstTickOfBar when using CalculateOnBarClose?

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            CalculateOnBarClose = false;
        }

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
			if(FirstTickOfBar)
			{
				// Your alert goes here.
			}
        }

Where do i paste it in the code?

Here is the notification snippet:

string subject = "";
if( currentlyOverSold )
{
subject = " " + Instrument.FullName + " at " + Math.Round( Close[0], 4 ).ToString( russian );
}
if( currentlyOverBrought )
{
subject = " " + Instrument.FullName + " at " + Math.Round( Close[0], 4 ).ToString( russian );
}

if( soundAlert != "" )
{
PlaySound( soundAlert );
}
if( emailAddress != "" )
{
string body = subject + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + "Message generated at " + Time[0];
SendMail( fromEmailAddress, emailAddress, subject, body );
}
}

Hello cachevery,

Thank you for your response.

It would be the following:

if(FirstTickOfBar)
{
if( soundAlert != "" )
{
PlaySound( soundAlert );
}
if( emailAddress != "" )
{
string body = subject + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + "Message generated at " + Time[0];
SendMail( fromEmailAddress, emailAddress, subject, body );
}
}
}
