Alert on strategies

[Impeesa]

Hello

I am developing an strategy that draws text, color bars and draws triangles (up or down), when conditions are met and works ok.
The problem is that it should also alert. but this method does not work...

BarBrush = Brushes.Fuchsia;
CandleOutlineBrush = Brushes.Fuchsia;
Draw.TriangleDown(this, @""+CurrentBar, true, 0, (High[1] + (20 * TickSize)) , ColorDown);
Alert("", Priority.High, "Entry Short", mySoundFile, rearmAlertInSeconds, Brushes.Black, Brushes.Crimson);
Draw.Text(this, "" + CurrentBar, true, @"40", 1, High[1] + 6 * TickSize , 0, ColorDown, largeFont, TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);

Any idea why Alert does not work?

Thanks

Hello Impeesa,

What part is not working with the alert? Is it the sound or is the alert not being sent to the alert log at all?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello, Jesse

None of them works.

Hello Impeesa,

One problem may be that you are not specifying an ID, I would suggest to try the alert sample from the help guide and see if that works in place of what you coded.

Alert("myAlert", Priority.High, "Reached threshold", NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.InstallDir+@"\sounds\Aler t1.wav", 10, Brushes.Black, Brushes.Yellow);

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello, Jesse

That is not the problem. I have copied the alert sample and it is displayed in Alerts Log filtered Medium and Low...
