Advice on adding alerts to a MACD Indicator?

[davydhnz]

Hi,

TopGunNote attached a lovely MACD Indicator here:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-8/platform-technical-support-aa/1063995-macd-4-color?p=1064497#post1064497

I'm wanting to add alerts to everytime the colour changes (every yellow circle) in the histogram below:


Any and all advice on how to add that code would be appreciated, thanks!

The BltTriggerLines does it like this:

            if (CrossAbove(Trigger, Average, 1))
            {
               if (SoundAlert && !SoundPlayed)
                {
                    PlaySound(NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.InstallDir+"\\sounds\\"+SoundFile);
                    SoundPlayed = true;
                }​

Hello davydhnz,

To call an alert use the Alert() method, in the condition action blocks where the PlotBrushes are being set to different colors.

Below is a link to the help guide.

I am also including a link to a forum post with helpful resources on getting started with C# and NinjaScript.
