Sound alerts with strategies

[Prizax]

I have some strategies running and some alerts (with the charts) that play a sound… my issue/question is that if it is possible to give priority to the sound alert from the chart (since sometimes they trigger at the same time) I mean the strategy order fill overlaps/cuts my sound alert from the chart… and I want it to work the other way. How can I achieve this? Since I can’t find the option to do so.

Hello Prizax,

Thank you for your post.

Although there is no way to give priority to the sounds, you have a couple of options that could help to improve this scenario. You may go to Control Center > Tools > Options > General and scroll down to Sounds. In the Sounds settings, there is a checkbox for "Play Consecutively" that will make it so that sounds do not play on top of each other and instead will play back-to-back so you don't miss anything. Otherwise, you could also consider changing the sound file for order fills to something shorter or deleting that sound altogether to disable that sound from being played when orders are filled. This will all depend on your needs and preferences. For more details on the Sounds options:
