Hi Hector -

You will need to follow the same type of steps as suggested by ddnut:



I don't use NT7 so I don't know if it allows you to import MP3 files instead of WAV files. My original suggestion was to use the MP3's with a freeware desktop alarm, and can't guarantee NT7 will behave similarly.

As far as I know, NinjaTrader will not accept .mp3 files, but you need to use .wav files.

I was able to
install the wav files into my ninja sounds folder and i was able to install the .cs time alert but I tried
to test it with the times but no luck. I was doing government time for my test and I am in central time.
So any other help from you or any other fellow traders would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks In Advance If Anyone Can Help...

Hector

@hector24,

Looks like you already copied the sound files into Ninja Sound folder and the .cs file into your Bin/Custom/indicator folder. You should be ready to go.

Since you just copied the .cs into you indicator folder, you need to compile it first. Does the indicator mahTimeAlerts show on your drop down list? if it does, everything is OK. If it does not show, go into Tools,Edit Ninja Script/Indicator and edit any indicator but do not change anything. Then either click F5, or the compile button and close the indicaor. Now try to drop the indicator on any time chart, it should show up in the indicator drop down list.

Now you go into the parameters lists and set you times for 5-10 minutes ahead of your time. Make them 1 minute apart for a test. It should give you the alerts one minute apart. If you get to this point, then change the Alert times to whatever times you wish.

Make sure your system clock and you platform clock are in sync. Then it does not matter which time zone you are in.

I hope this help, I don't know how else I can help. If someone can explain better, please do so.

Cheers!

I understand that you need some compensation for the pain to listen to Texan all day long.... , in some cases it could even be a relief to be deaf......

I agree that the Ivona voices are excellent.

@Fat Tails

Can you use the Ivona voices with Ninja Trader for text to speech alerts?

@Fat Tails

In Windows 7 , I downloaded a third party voice, Ivona "Emma" and selected it in the control panel. Works great.

Did you pay for just listening to her, or did you get away with a free trial?

I do not want to spend the money, because I am not permanently changing the sound alerts, and it is good enough for me to play a soundfile.
