Where does Alert() display the message?

[cassb]

I'm using this:

Alert(string id, Priority priority, string message, string soundLocation, int rearmSeconds, Color backColor, Color foreColor)


And when I put a string message in with yellow background and black foreground, I get an alert sound, but no message on the chart. Where does the string message appear?

Hello Cassb,

Alerts are noted in the File > new > alerts window.

OK, so if I want to display my own alert message right on the chart, I have to do DrawTextFixed() and also call the Alert() method to play the sound?

[NinjaTrader_RyanM1]

DrawTextFixed draws text on a chart in a fixed position.

Alert notes to alert window and plays sound.

PlaySound also plays sound.
