Price Alarm (Sound)

Why does it need Unlimited Access?

(it asks for that, when you first apply it, which is a no-go for me)

If anyone else has issues using yahoo change the port to 587 that solved my issues.

also see below for correct placement

Notifications.PlaySound(Path.Combine(windowsFolder, "Media", "tada.wav"));                   

>>>Notifications.SendEmail("fx.alert@yahoo.com.au", "fx.alert@yahoo.com.au", "Price Alert", "TRIGGERED");

 triggered = true;

 

Is it possible to add an email notification to the indicator?

I found this but cant figure out where to place it:

Notifications.SendEmail("***@yahoo.com.au", "***@yhaoo.com.au", "Price Alert", "TRIGGERED");

Have tried a couple of locations in the code namely:

line after:

 Notifications.PlaySound(Path.Combine(windowsFolder, "Media", "tada.wav"));

and 

at the end of 

  public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            if (triggered)
            {
                PlayedNotificationLine[index] = Price;
                return;

 

either place i get a failed to send email in the log.

settings are correct as ctrader sends emails on open and close of trades, just cant get it to send with this indicator

 

Hello ForexShawn,

I'm not interested in payed work. Contact any of these guys: http://ctrader.com/consultants/.

Hi AlgoTrader,

Are you interested in developing cTrader indicators for mutually agreed upon $.

I would like to start with Price Alarm. There are several additions I would like to make to it

including:

     a) Make it so the alarm line can be dragged into whatever position desired once it is on the chart

     b) Change the alarm so it can be set to ring just once or multiple times

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

 

Could any one modify this code to sound an alarm with vertical/time lines?

Thanks

Notifications.PlaySound(@"C:\my file.mp3");

It doesn’t play the sound for me too.

Could you tell me how should I modify the code if I want to write the absolute path to the sound file, please?

So, instead of this row:

                    Notifications.PlaySound(Path.Combine(windowsFolder, "Media", "tada.wav"));

what should I write?

Thanks.

good work Algotrader. Very useful. I was wondering if it can be set to repeat the alarm until the user shuts it off. I'm a terrible programmer and your assistance would be greatly appreciated

Hi Algotrader, can you please help me? The indicator doesn't play the sound, only changes the color of the line for the preset color. The sound is on. Thank you! Regards, Remz

it should be shown automatically. Please wait until market will be opened.

how can I show pip count on the triggered line for this good indicator?

This is a really useful addition. Thanks for your efforts. Would it be possible to set an alarm on a trendline as well? To encourage speedy development, I would be happy to help fund the development work. There is a lot of innovation in this area for metatrader being done by a coder at fxalgotrader.com. His pricing is a subscription model at a very reasonalbe $62.50/3months for a very robust suite of alerts. If anyone else is believes this could help them reduce "stare time" maybe we can help move this idea forward. Please let us know.
