How to set up time-based sound alert

[EnveousColnago]

I'd like to get an audio alert at the 8:30 cst market open every day. I searched for an indicator to do this but couldn't find any. Is there another way to set this up?

This was working yesterday based onTime based Example but today I can't get it to work. I have it set up exactly like the example in the documentation, but it's not working now for some reason. Any idea why that might be?

Hello EnveousColnago,

Thank you for your post.

Please send a screenshot of your Alert parameters so that I may review them.

To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using the Windows Snipping Tool.

Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screenshot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

Hello EnveousColnago,

Thank you for your screenshot.

I tested your settings and was able to trigger alerts without issue.

From your screenshot I see that this Alert would trigger at the end of each bar unless disabled until the next day.

You would then need to manually recheck the 'Enabled' option before 7:30 AM.

Alternatively , you may use a separate 1 minute chart using a similar alert to use 'equals' and a time value of 7:31 and re-arm of 'On Timer' set to 61 seconds.

This will trigger at 7:30 and then rearm after this bar has closed and then is ready to trigger the next day.

Below I have included a screenshot of these settings:
