No alert...

[dhunnewell]

Here is the script:

 
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
double MACDvalue = MACD(12, 26, 9)[0];
if (MACDvalue < 0)
{
if (MACDpos == true)
{
Print(MACDvalue);
Alert("CrossDown",Priority.High,"MACD is crossing down.","Alert2.wav",0,Color.Beige,Color.Black);
MACDpos = false;
MACDneg = true;
}
}
if (MACDvalue > 0)
{
if (MACDneg == true)
{
Print(MACDvalue);
Alert("CrossUp",Priority.High,"MACD is crossing up.","Alert2.wav",0,Color.Beige,Color.Black);
MACDneg = false;
MACDpos = true;
}
}
}

The Values are printing in output, but no Alert, what am I missing?

Hello dhunnewell,

The alerts will write to the alerts window. If yours are evaluating true but you don't see anything make sure you have a window open by going to File > New > Alert.

I learn something every hour, however I have changed my script as follows and am using PlaySound instead of alert... Sound is not playing and there is no error in log... ?

 
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
double MACDvalue = MACD(12, 26, 9).Diff[0];
if (MACDvalue < 0)
{
if (MACDpos == true)
{
PlaySound("Alert2");
DrawTextFixed("MACDtext","MACD is a BEAR",TextPosition.BottomRight);
MACDpos = false;
MACDneg = true;
}
}
if (MACDvalue > 0)
{
if (MACDneg == true)
{
PlaySound("Alert2");
DrawTextFixed("MACDtext","MACD is a BULL",TextPosition.BottomRight);
MACDneg = false;
MACDpos = true;
}
}
}

PlaySound() is looking for a sound file . You need to specify the complete path or simply the extension if the file is located in 'C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader\Sounds' folder. You could use

PlaySound("Alert2.wav");
