Is there something like a "Mute" command?

[laocoon]

Hello

I'm running two automated strategies in parallel, one that produces a couple of signals a day and the other that produces only one signal a day on average. Both trigger visual (arrows on the chart) and acoustic (sound files) alerts when there's an entry signal. Now here's the question: Is there an equivalent to the TV "mute" button within NinjaScript? I'd like to let both strategies run even while I'm sleeping, but I don't want to be disturbed by the sound alerts of the one that produces a couple of signals a day, only by the other one.

I can of course //comment the part of the code that triggers the sound alert, but I've more than 15 different signals within that strategy which means that this approach is a bit of a hassle.

Thanks for letting me know if there's an easier way.

laocoon, I would unfortunately not be aware of another way than either commenting the call out for the signal in question, or for example pointing to a 'muted' soundfile.

That's what I thought, thanks for replying Bertrand.
The muted soundfile is a creative approach, but it would mean switching between unmuted soundfiles during the day and muted files during the night, so it wouldn't result in a time gain vs commenting the call out.

Thanks

Just use a "time filter" on the Alert() or PlaySound(), whichever you are using, so that it only sounds between the times that you wish it to sound.

That's clever, hadn't thought about it that way, thanks a lot koganam!
