Find alerts in alert window

[sidlercom80]

Hi, how can I find an alarm from the alert window?

Before I add an alarm to the list with ....

Alert("myAlert", Priority.High, "Reached threshold", NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.InstallDir+@"\sounds\Alert1.wav", 10, Brushes.Black, Brushes.Yellow);

...I would like to check if an alarm is already in the list, if not add it to the list. So that there are no duplicate alarms in the list.



What would be a good solution for that? How can I delete alarms from the list?

Hello sidlercom80,

Thank you for your reply.

To clarify, you're wanting to see if a matching alert has already been manually placed from the Alerts window before triggering the alert from an indicator? Or checking whether that alert itself has previously been triggered?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi _Kate, the alarm is set by my indicator. For example, I would like to use the alarm name to check whether one already exists or not. Something like Alert.Find("alertName").

Hello sidlercom80,

Thank you for your reply.

The Alert() function in NinjaScript would not create a list of alerts similar to the Alerts window in the platform - the alert is simply triggered by conditions you set. So there wouldn't be anything for you to check, since the alert only goes off when the conditions you've set to trigger it are true.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hi _Kate, I just want to know if and how I can find an alarm via script from the alarm window? How can I access the alarms from the alarm window via script?

Hello sidlercom80,

Thank you for your reply.

There is not a supported way to retrieve alert information from the Alerts window, and I'm not aware of any unsupported workaround for that.
