My apologies if I've missed the answer in the documentation. I've searched the APIs and forums and couldn't find an answer to my question. Calling Notification.PlaySound(...) will play a sound but does not allow for a visual pop up alert. So it seems that if the user is not within earshot, they simply miss the alert. But let's assume that they hear the alert and come to their computer. They have 10 charts open, how will they know which chart generated the sound?

So it seems that email alerts are the only way to truly inform the user of an alert. That doesn't feel realtime enough for me. Too many things can get in the way to cause an email to not appear timely enough to capture a trade opportunity.

Is there perhaps a notifications history that we can write to? Can we log a notification to the journal tab? I haven't been able to find anything of that nature. It leaves me having to send an email, play a sound file, and then write to a log file. When the user hears the sound played they can check the log file. But that seems unwieldy.

I'd be very grateful if someone could point me in a better direction.I feel like I am missing something fundamental.
