SOUND ALERT before a candle closes

[andddres1]

Hello, does anyone have a indicator to play a sound alert 1 minute or 30 seconds before a candle closes?

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

I am unsure of anything that does this specifically but you could likely create an indicator that does this. This would also only be relevant for time-based bars as you would have an advance knowledge of the next bars time from when the last bar had closed whereas tick based bars you would not.

If you have more details on what timeframe you are using that may be helpful to know how difficult of an item this would be to create. If you are interested in developing this yourself I could also provide further direction on what may be needed.


I look forward to being of further assistance.

Good morning, the sound alert would be 40 seconds before a 5 minute time frame bar, yes please help me

Hello andddres1,

Thank you for your patience.

To do this, you would want to compare the previous bar's close time and see if 4 minutes and 20 seconds has elapsed. You would want to use the ToTime() method to retrieve the time from a DateTime object:

if(ToTime(DateTime.Now) == ToTime(Time[1])+420)
{
Alert("40secondsleft", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.Medium, "40 seconds left on this bar", "Alert1.wav", 10, Color.Black, Color.Yellow);
}

You will also want to ensure that Calculate on Bar Close is set to False. Alternatively, you can also compare the time of the market update with the time of the bar close within the OnMarketData() method:

if(e.Time == Time[0].AddSeconds(-40))
{
//trigger alert
}

Hello Andres,

Thanks for your reply.

Do you receive any compiler errors when compiling your script? Do you receive any errors at run time? Did you ensure to set Calculate on Bar Close to false?

I look forward to your reply.
