Hello carlton,

Could you try right clicking inside the Alert window and select Reset to make sure all of the Alerts are going to be reset before loading your NinjaScript file again to test to see if it is generating the Alert.

Hi JC,

Sorry for not responding sooner. Its been a while since I used NJ. Can you tell me where I reset the alerts in the alert window?

Cheers

Hello Carlton,

Thank you for your response.

Please remove the indicator from your chart or Market Analyzer > then go to File > New > Alerts > or open your existing Alerts window > right click within the Alerts window > select Reset > then add your indicator back to the chart or Market Analyzer > do you see the alert after Resetting the Alerts window?

I look forward to assisting you further.

Patrick,

My apologies for my delayed response. I have reset the alarm as you suggested. Is there a way of testing whether the indicator alerts when the markets are closed?

Cheers

Carlton

Hello carlton,
You can test the Alerts using the Market Replay connection or the Simulated data feed connection when the market is closed.

Script Not Alert

Hello Ninjas,

I'm running the script now, during market trading hours to test the attached script, (edited to allow for sound alerts). Its alerting, see attached image, but I'm not getting the sound alerts. Can someone please assist me.

Hello Carlton,

Thank you for your note.

If you navigate to the C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 7\sounds\Windows Balloon.wav file and right click and select Play, do you hear the sound?
And do you hear other sounds originating from NinjaTrader such as when you successfully connect to your data provider?

I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your continued support. Following your suggestions I checked for 'Windows.balloon.wav' file, but there isn't a folder called C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 7\sounds\. However, there is a 'Windows.balloon.wav' in the C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 7\sounds. Therefore, I've changed the path in the script to C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 7\sounds\'Windows.balloon.wav and hopefully that will work when I get an alert.

I will keep you posted - I will know in the next 30mins.

Cheers

Carlton

Hello Carlton,

Thank you for your update on this matter.

I look forward to your response.

Hi Patrick,

It didn't work. The alert appeared in the window but I didn't get a sound. Below is the line of code I changed in the script.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Alert("myAlert", NinjaTrader.Cbi.Priority.High, "YM 5 Min. Close = " + Close[0].ToString(), @"C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 7\sounds\Windows Balloon.wav", 10, Color.Black, Color.Yellow);

Cheers

Patrick, I have done as you described above.

Can you think of any reason why the alert appears in the alert window but won't give me a sound alert?
