Bug on Chart with Alert() function

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

That's one of the reasons why 64bit is not supported with 6.5. It will work with NT7.

Dierk,

This is easily fixed and is just a mistake in your code.

You already have a variable called "InstallDir" which tells NT what directory it is installed in. Yet, the Alert function doesn't look at that it would seem.

From the trace file:
2008-12-19 19:53:24:475 InstallDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 6.5\

Yet Ninja wants to look at c:\program files\.

I know x64 isn't official, but this is still a bug it would seem.

Unfortunately Win64 bit is not supported but will be with NT7. Thanks for reporting though.

Two problems (using 6.5.1000.8):

a) On x64 installs, NT resides in C:\Program Files (x86)\.... yet the alert file is hard-coded for C:\Program Files\.

b) If you use a quote character ( " ) in the filename presumably because it has spaces in it, it can cause the indicator to not work at all and it will show "unknown" in the params fields.

Item a is easily fixed by creating the path even though it is not "proper". Item b is no biggie, but thought you might want to know. Just ensure your wav file has no spaces in it.
