Scalper Indicator

[captainquincy]

I am testing Gumphrie's Scalper Indicator. It would be really useful if an alert was sounded when the arrow on the trigger bar is printed. My own programming skills aren't up to it. Can anyone help please?

Captain ,open with edit and add this in red in the lines 124 ,160

if ((Close[0] < TriggerBarLow) && (0!=ExtremeBar))
{
ExtremeBar = ExtremeBar + counter;
HighPainted = true;
counter=-1;
scalpSeries.Set(CurrentBar-ExtremeBar);
ExtremeBar=0;
PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds\Reversing.wav");
}
and

if ((Close[0] > TriggerBarHigh) && (0!=ExtremeBar))
{
ExtremeBar = ExtremeBar + counter;
HighPainted = false;
counter=-1;
scalpSeries.Set(CurrentBar-ExtremeBar);
ExtremeBar=0;
PlaySound(@"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds\Reversing.wav");
}
compile and enjoy

Cyborg, thanks for taking the time to help but I get the error message

The name 'Playsound' does not exist in the current context

Maybe try something like this (although play sound should basically do the same thing):

Alert("Scalp Alert", Priority.High, "Scalp Alert", @"C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 6.5\sounds\OrderPending.wav", 0, Color.White, Color.Red);

Many thanks Elliot Wave. That's compiled OK. I'll wait until Monday to test it.

I just tried this on 6.5 and do NOT get any error messages. Of course I did a cut & paste, so it was entered as "PlaySound" instead of "Playsound".

Many thanks Elliot Wave. That's compiled OK. I'll wait until Monday to test it.

If you have saved data, you don't have to wait until Monday to test, you can use Market Replay to test it at any time.

With this indicator it doesnt update.But it seems to do this with other indicators to.
Like if you leave the chart sitting come back an hour later it still has the same long bar signal printed and the price has moved down.Then you go to indicators click apply then 3 signals display since the last one.Anyway to fix this?Not updating refreshing?Starting to wonder if this is a bug in NT because its not just with this indicator.
