Here is the trick with using the Windows PopUp MessageBox as an alert i talked about with perry.
this win-popup-window comes as a "always on top-popup" in the middle of your sreen if your signal is valid + you have to klick it away / klick OK to proceed with your trading-stuff. But it does not freeze or stop NT working somehow - no problems with this.
it can be very good to catch your attention but can also be annoying, depending on how fast your charts + signals are.
its a while back i used it - so i dont rember all details - but this if (!Historical) is important as far as i know.
it can be used in all kind of indicators / conditions but it should be used with a kind of cross-over conditions or something like this that is valid only in 1 or 2 Bars --
otherwise (iE if you code something like : if (EMA10 > EMA 50) ) you get a popup every single bar this condition is true !
The red stuff comes up as text in the box.
Idea :
Maybe there is also remove-comand working / available for this, like for the other drawobjects - but i dont know.
Have Fun with it !
BTW - as said yet : this is NOT an offical NT-function - so its not supported from the NT-forum- guys - whatever this means ....
I've just added this to an indicator I'm working on:
MessageBox.Show("Hedge Instrument field is blank or the same as the Quoted instrument. This will create Overflow errors.", "Warning!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation );
Probably not something you want to use all the time but useful in some situations.
