Need help with PKPriceAlert2 indicator

February 16th, 2010, 04:20 PM

I can get the PKPriceAlert2 indicator to work on CL, 6e and GC. It's actually pretty cool to be able to draw a horizontal line and get an audio alert at that price.

However, I can't get this indicator to work for 6a or 6e. After messing around with various tests, I can see that the problem lies in the code only looking for 2 digits instead of 4. Since 6a, 6e, 6b, etc have 4 digits after the 1 (1.3670, etc), the indicator in it's current form won't work on those.

Can someone tell me what lines to edit how to change the code to allow for 2 more digits so it can be used on currencies that have 4 digits after the decimal point?

Thanks,
Todd

in the following line, try changing the 2 to 4

double PriceAlert = Math.Round(CO.Value,2);

Thanks, Martin.. that seems to have worked.

Do you know how to make it so the sound alert wav file name gets typed into the indicator input screen instead of the actual code?

If you look at the code of any indicator that has user defined input(s) there is code for each category near the bottom before the Ninja Generated code.

[Description("")]
[Category("Alerts")]
[Description("Sound")]

public bool Soundon
{
get { return soundOn; }
set { soundOn = value; }
}

[Description("Sound file foralert.")]
[Category("Alerts")]
public string Wavefilefame
{
get { return Wavefilename; }
set { Wavefilename = value; }

Ztrader,

Thanks for the help. I pasted the code into the properties part of the indicator but I got the following errors...how do I get rid of these?

I've attached the indicator in the original post. Could you insert the code properly and reattach it or tell me how to get rid of these errors?

Thanks,
Todd

I can do this in the afternoon, unless someone else can help Todd sooner?

hi todd,
take the stuff you copied in the code off again and try that you get the indicator back to work. this would be the first step.

i think you wish something different than ztrade offered.
i post something the next few minutes.

have a look in the cs.code below as example :

you have 2 wavefiles in there wich you are able to define in the variable-section of the indie. i think this is what you look for.

the first snippets you put in #region Variables

Code

                            
        #region Variables



        private string     alertOBStoch    = "AlertOBStoch.wav";     // Overbought Alert wav file

        private string     alertOSStoch    = "AlertOSStoch.wav";     // Oversold Alert wav file

the next is for to put in #region Properties :

Code

                            
       #region Properties





        [Description("Overbought Alert Wav File")]

        [Category("Alert")]

        public string AlertOBStoch

        {

            get { return alertOBStoch; }

            set { alertOBStoch = value; }

        }    

        

        [Description("Oversold Alert Wav File")]

        [Category("Alert")]

        public string AlertOSStoch

        {

            get { return alertOSStoch; }

            set { alertOSStoch = value; }

        }

then you add alertOSStoch / alertOBStoch instead of the wave-file-definition in your code.
i think its this :

"C:\\Program Files\\NinjaTrader 6.5\\sounds\\testlong.wav" -- now

"alertOSStoch" --- then

i think that does it.

Max,

Thanks for your help.

I tried to copy and paste the code from your indicator into my indicator but I got several syntax errors. I'm guessing there were too many brackets or not enough brackets, etc.

Would you take the indicator that I've attached on the original post below and add your code to so the audio wave file fields will show up on the indicator settings input screen? I'm asking this because I think you will know how to deal with the syntax errors that I ran into.

If you could change the code and reattach it to a new post I would greatly appreciate it.

Todd
