good morning, does anybody knows how to set a sound alert 240 seconds after a candle closes?

You use a Timer from the System.Timers namespace.

NB there are other timers in System.Threading.Timer, System.Windows.Forms.Timer, System.Web.UI.Timers and System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer make sure you import System.Timers.Timer and not one of the other namespaces

Be sure to set AutoReset to false or it will repeat every 240 seconds

Timer timer = new Timer(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(240).TotalMilliseconds);
timer.AutoReset = false;
timer.Elapsed += (o, args) =>
{
       PlaySound(NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.InstallDir + @"\sounds\Alert1.wav"
	timer.Dispose();
};

timer.Start();

I'm sure if you really apply yourself you will figure it out. Open the ninjascript editor, make a new indicator, and paste that into OnBarUpdate

I am trying, this error appears

BTW i do need it to repeat in that interval (after a 5 min candle closes, 240 seconds, activate the sound alert) so i did set rearm true

thank you

Hello,

Thank you for posting.

In the image it looks like you are missing a ); at the end of the PlaySound line causing an error.

After adding the ); it should compile from what I can see.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

whoops my-bad on the missing semi-colon. I copied and pasted it straight of the Ninjatrader docs onto the forum.
