Hello,
I am attempting to create an indicator that sounds an alarm 30 seconds before the current bar closes; however, I can't seem to figure out how to get my code to work. It compiles correctly, but doesn't play the alarm.
Thank you in advance.

Code:

Description = @"Enter the description for your new custom Indicator here.";
Name = "BarEndingAlarm";

ScaleJustification = NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ScaleJustification.Right;
//Disable this property if your indicator requires custom values that cumulate with each new market data event.
//See Help Guide for additional information.
