PriceOscillator alert

[gimir]

Hi, I would like to add 2 alerts to the PriceOscillator indicator when it crosses the zero line (from previous bar it passes from negative to positive or viceversa).

How can I do it or when can I find some code of example? I tried by myself but without result.

thanks in advance

Hello,

you can do this using the code sample below, you will need to create a copy of the original script as you can not save changes to the included scripts, here are the steps:

Click Tools -> Edit NinjaScript -> Indicator -> Price Oscillator
Right click in the script and click Save As.
Give the file a name and press OK.
Now the script that is open will be the new file you just saved.

The code would look like the following:

if(CrossAbove(Value, 0, 1))
{
	Alert("myAlert1", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "Reached threshold", "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.Black, Color.Yellow);
} 
else if(CrossBelow(Value, 0, 1))
{
	Alert("myAlert2", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "Reached threshold", "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.Black, Color.Yellow);	
}

This would go directly below the existing line:

Value.Set(EMA(smoothEma, Smooth)[0]);

The methods used are in the help guide here:

I followed the instructions: the sound is played every time zero is crossed but a pop up with the message doesn't appear. Any suggestion? I attach the script of the indicator modified thanks

Hello gimir,
Thanks for the reply.

The indicator is currently coded for to create and alert.

The Alert() method does not create a pop up. Creating a pop up is not supported using NinjaScript.

However, this has been discussed in a previous forum post. This can be done using the standard C# library.

Here is a link to a forum post discussing how to accomplish this. http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...p+alert+window
