Setting alerts with trendlines on the fly

[AH369]

Hello .

Does anyone know of an indicator to set alerts on the fly ?
It takes too many steps and way too long to set NT8 alerts when you need to activate alerts for many lines in a fast market.

Appreciate the input.

Hello AH369,

Thanks for your post.

To clarify, are you looking for an existing indicator? Or, are you looking to code this indicator yourself?

I am not aware of an existing indicator that accomplishes this. This thread will be open for other community members to share their insights on an existing indicator.

Note that Alerts function differently in a NinjaScript indicator compared to the Alerts window. You would need to program the condition that would trigger the alert and then call your alert method.

The Alert() method could be used to create alerts in a NinajScript. To play a sound when a condition becomes true, you could use the PlaySound() method.

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code:

Alert(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../nt8/alert.htm
PlaySound(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../playsound.htm

Let me know if I may assist further.

Hello BrandonH ,

Thank you for your reply.

Actually I don't know much about coding . I am looking to see if there is an indicator out there that enables a user to create alert templates with same capabilities as the default Alert feature of NT8 . Another words preferably a user creates a template by going through the initial necessary steps only once and then can attach this template to any line for quick setup.

Also user should be able to duplicate copies of same activated lines without the the new lines becoming inactive. So I was wondering if anyone knows of such indicator/strategy out there in the NT8 community whether it's a free tool or not since I am willing to pay for it if such a tool exists.

Hello Guys,

I would like to know if somebody can help me figuiring out how to set an alarm or create the column in the market analyzer with the following info>

(Average volume of last 5 candles * 90%) + Average volume of the last 5 candles.

I know that if I get to put that info in the market analyzer then I would be able to set the alarm with another column (current volume) by comparing them>

If VOL > ((average volume of last 5 candles * 90%)+a.v. of last 5 candles) = TRUE.




By the way, this is my first post in the forum so im not fully familiar if Im making the question in the right place.

Hello daslac02,

Thanks for your note.

Since you posted in the forums in the NinjaTrader Indicator Development section, are you looking to create an alert in a custom NinjaScript indicator that you are programming?

If so, you would use the Alert() method to create alerts in a NinajScript. To play a sound when a condition becomes true, you could use the PlaySound() method.

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code:

Alert(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../nt8/alert.htm
PlaySound(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../playsound.htm
Alert and Debug Concepts: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...g_concepts.htm

If you create a custom indicator that calls the Alert() method, you could add that custom indicator to a Market Analyzer 'Indicator' column.

See this help guide page for more information: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...owToAddColumns

If your question is not in relation to programming an Alert in your own custom NinjaScript, you could post your question in the Platform Technical Support section of the NinjaTrader Forums for questions not related to programming.
