custom alarm

[futuros]

How can I add a custom wav (sound) file as an alarm to an indicator?

Thanks

Hello futuros,

You can edit the indicator and add a PlaySound() command during certain conditions.

Hello Ryan,
This indicator came with this alert:
{

Alert("Bear Alert", Priority.High, "Bear Breakout", "Alert2.wav", 100000, Color.White, Color.Blue);
}

and I'm trying to change with my own sound like this:
{

Alert("Bull Alert", Priority.High, "BullBreakout", "C:\users\DELL\Documents\ufoup.wav", 100000, Color.White, Color.Blue);
}
but I got an error: Unrecognized escape sequence

what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Would you get the same error reported if you tried the below snippet?

{
Alert("Bull Alert", Priority.High, "BullBreakout", @"C:\users\DELL\Documents\ufoup.wav", 100000, Color.White, Color.Blue);
}

}

I made the changes, compile and got NO error, but the alert keeps playing the previuos sound, do I need to close NT and reopen?

You would need to refresh (F5) your chart for the change to take place.

Ryan, I got the signal but the alert did not play ANY sound.

Question: the original code just says "Alarm2.wav", so when you dont have the path (like C:\whatever\Documents\*.wav) where (in what folder) does NT looks for the wav file? May be I should put there the wav file.

If you don't specify a path, the default sound path is C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader\sounds

You can place the sound file in this directory, or specify the whole path in this field.

Sorry but in Program files there isn't any "NinjaTrader" folder, in Documents there is a NinjaTrader 6.5 folder but there isn't any "sounds" folder, may be some place else?

If you're using a 64 bit system, it may be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds
