Alert sound doesnt work

[tkaboris]

HI
I have this line where i want to make sure audio alert is producing sound but its not.
Alert("Alert" + unique, Priority.High, "Up trend line broken", "Alert2.wav", 100000, Brushes.Black, Brushes.Red);

I try to modify it but there is an error and i cant figure out how to resolve it
Alert("Alert" + unique, Priority.High, "Up trend line broken", "NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.InstallDir + @"\sounds\Alert1.wav"", 100000, Brushes.Black, Brushes.Red);

Hello tkaboris,

If you see an error you need to include that in your post so we know how to assist.

To make an alert with a sound you need to format the alert command and path like shown in the help guide. You can copy and paste code from the help guide to test different concepts.

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

Its asking for absolute path. Where do sounds located?

soundLocation

A string representing the absolute file path of the .wav file to play

Hello tkaboris,

an absolute path is the full path to the file. Did you try using the sample from the help guide? That shows the correct code to use.
