Moving Average Alert

[virtual_tourist]

Hello

I use the Ninja Script in which the user may add colors to
different types of Moving Averages at the point they turn up or down.

I would like an alert added which would sound
when the Moving Averages turn colors (turn up or down).

Could anyone point me in the direction of a solution (either to a good custom programmer or a simple solution I'm overlooking)?

Many Thanks

Hello,

Here are our consultants:

Or you can use Alert():

place the following sound code after the code that changes the color.

PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds\Alert1.wav");

Forget using NT's Alert Window. You can also program a "pop up window Alert" which will really call attention to your alert.

good luck

Unfortunately this is outside the scope of what we can offer support for. Best bet would be to check MSDN or google for resources on making popups.

Try this:

#region Using declarations

using System.Windows.Forms;


protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{

if (blah blah blah)
{
PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds\Alert1.wav");
MessageBox.Show ("Breakout, Get Long at " + Close[0] , "Market Breakout Alert", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}

}

Keep in mind the chart will stop charting until the user clicks "OK".
Also, you can change the icon by replacing MessageBoxIcon.Information with
MessageBoxIcon.Warning or
MessageBoxIcon.Question

Also, be careful if you are not using a on bar completion indicator because you will need to program the popup to fire only ONCE if you are using a tick update indicator.

Gook Luck!
