Default sound alert

Is there a function to have the Ninjatrader to alert/sound when it reach above/below a pre-set price?

I want it to alarm until I tell it to stop. Possible?

Please see the Help Guide for PlaySound(). You can program it to keep playing it.

iam looking at the documentation, how much about it.

"

Plays a .wav file.

  • Calls to this method are ignored on historical data, it will only work in real-time.

PlaySound(string fileName)


Method Of
Custom Indicator, Custom Strategy


Parameters
fileName
File name of .wav file to play

Is there a parament to play it non-stop for the first signal until I tell it to stop? It should be kind of hard to program.

Thanks

Ok. maybe put it in the future version to have option to choose non-stop alerting, and one-time alerting.

I will forward your suggestion to our development team and ask them if they can add this to the list of future considerations for the software.

Thank you for your feedback.
