Market Analyzer Alert Message

[jerryvellutini]

Is there a way to have this message contain a variable e.g the current value of an indicator?

Not sure if this is what you need, but you could enter the trigger value into the MA message as text - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...onditions.html

If you want the alert to show you the value of the indicator at the time of the alert, you should custom code this using the Alert() method in the indicator directly.

Thank you,

It looks like I need to use the Alert() method.
Alert("myAlert", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "Reached threshold", "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.Black, Color.Yellow);

How do I embed the value of a variable into the message?

How do I set the trigger value and Indicator?

I'm obviously new to this.

You can try something like this in the OnBarUpdate() of your indicator -

 
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar < 1) return;

if (Close[0] > Close[1])
Alert("Up", Priority.Medium, "Up with Close value" + " " + Close[0].ToString(), "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.Black, Color.Blue);
}

I'm having problems:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar < 1) return;
if Plot0.ContainsValue(0) > 0.5
Alert("Up", Priority.Medium, "Up with Close value" + " " + projHigh.ToString(), "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.Black, Color.Blue);
}

I want to trigger on the current value of Plot0 defined earlier in the script
I want to include the current value of the double projHigh defined earlier in the script in the message.

To check values you should use the [0] index instead of ContainsValue.

if (Plot0[0] > 0.5)
    // Do something;

[jerryvellutini]

Sorry to keep bugging you.

I'm still getting errors.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar < 1) return;
if (Plot0 [0] > 0.5)
Alert("Up", Priority.Medium, "Up with Close value" + " " + projHigh.ToString(), "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.Black, Color.Blue);
}

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Please provide the exact errors. Thank you.

[jerryvellutini]

it's "protected override void OnBarUpdate()" is already in the code at the top.

If I delete the 2nd one I get a whole slew of errors

Indicator\GV_LynnDeesCriteria.cs Type 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.GV_LynnDeesCriteria' already defines a member called 'OnBarUpdate' with the same parameter types CS0111 - click for info 87 28

jerryvellutini,

You cannot have two of the same methods. You need to put the code snippet inside the single OnBarUpdate() method.

Whatever is inside the { } is what needs to go into the original OnBarUpdate().

[jerryvellutini]

I did that.

NinjaScript File Error Code Line Column

jerryvellutini,

Please post the complete code you are using so we can assess it for you. Thank you.

[jerryvellutini]

Thanks for all your help.

I don't understand but I hit F5 and it compiled with no errors. Hopefully this will work.

I really appreciate your efforts.

[jerryvellutini]

I'm getting the audio alert but no message

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Do you have the Alerts window open? It should display in the 'message' field - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview40.html
