Inside bar announcement

[cay7man]

I've been working on a indicator that announces (voice) various candlestick patterns. Here is the code snippet for inside bar announcement. I hear multiple
announcements (like "Inside bar on 30" few times) when the workspace with charts for various timeframes for the same instrument is loaded. Any ideas to avoid
it? Once settled down, it seems to work perfectly. TY

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar == 0)
{
speaker.Rate = 1; // controls how fast the voice goes
speaker.SelectVoice("Microsoft Zira Desktop"); // You can change this if you have other voices, such as Microsoft David Desktop
timeframe = ((int)BarsPeriod.Value).ToString();
}

if (CurrentBar < 2)
return;

if (!IsFirstTickOfBar)
return;

bool isInsideBar = High[1]<=High[2] && Low[1]>=Low[2];

if (isInsideBar)
{
BarBrushes[1] = BorderBrush;

if (Bars.IsLastBarOfSession)
{
Say("Inside bar on " + timeframe);
}
}
}

Hi cay7man,

So, please, how and where are the followings defined;

1. speaker.Rate

2. speaker.SelectVoice

3. timeframe

NB: Oooooops ... just got some tips from an indicator. So, I now know how to resolve 1, and 2 ... and probably 3.

omololu, ok, what is the fix?

Hello cay7man,

Thanks for your post.

It looks like there is a "SpeakCompleted" that you could use.

This is not a NinjaScript item so documentation on SpeechSynthesizers and example's may be found externally. The Microsoft documentation is linked below (publicly available resource.)

omololu may be able to share their solution as well.

You may have misunderstood the issue. I resolved the issue by adding

announce = false;
...

if (state.realtime)
announce = true;

Now, it announces for new bars only not the historical.

Hi cay7man,

I really did not have a fix ... just trying to understand the indicator, and in the course of that, I ran into this indicator here, and which gave me the insights to the requirements for the indicator to even run.

Great that you resolve the issue ... I'll add these new codes and see the results. Meanwhile, it will be great and appreciated if you can share the full code with me.

Thanks.

Sure, PM me your email addr so I can share the complete indicator. I will post it as a free indicator after some more testing.
