No Sound Alert When Using Strategy's I have Created

[thatsfresh]

I have created my own strategy using Ninja Trader Editor but am unable to get audible alerts to work.
I added an extra line and can see the Print statement in the Ninja Output window so it seems the code is working

Where should the code be looking for these wav files?
Is there something else I need to switch on?
I recently had to do a soft re-install of Ninja due to OneDrive issues. I am no longer backing up documents folder.....I think



// Trigger an audible alert
Alert("BullishEngulfingAlert", Priority.High, "Bullish Engulfing Candle Detected!", "Alert1.wav", 10, null, null);
Print("Bullish Engulfing Candle detected at bar: " + CurrentBar);



Thanks

Hello thatsfresh,

Thank you for your post.

For the sound parameter, you need to use the absolute file path of the .wav file to play. So if you want to use the default Alert1.wav, try calling it similarly to how the sample code does on the Help Guide:

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

Thanks for your help. All working now.

Also for those people like me who are running multiple charts and indicators/strategy's and have different arrows all over the place it's really easy to use Windows 11 Sound Recorder to create your own alerts for your different indicators and strategy's so your not fumbling around. The only thing you have to do when you go into Sound Recorder is to go into Settings and change the Recording Format to WAV before you start recording.
