Target - Sound File / Stop - Sound file

[priceisking]

I have a strategy with stopOrder and targetOrder defined based on my logic. How can i force it to use the "Target Filled" & "Stop Filled" sound files.


// Stop-Loss order 4 ticks below our entry price
stopOrder = ExitLongStopMarket(0, true, execution.Order.Filled, execution.Order.AverageFillPrice - StopLoss * TickSize, "LSTOP", "L");

// Target order 8 ticks above our entry price
targetOrder = ExitLongLimit(0, true, execution.Order.Filled, execution.Order.AverageFillPrice + ProfitTarget * TickSize, "T", "L");


When these get executed currently, it plays "order pending" and "order filled". Instead of "target filled' and "stopped filled"


How can i force it to use the "Target Filled" & "Stop Filled" sound files.

Hello priceisking,

Thank you for your post.

Exit orders aren't recognized as stops and targets in the system, so that is why you receive the "Order filled" audio every time any order is filled. If you want a different sound to play when your stops/targets are executed, you'd pretty much have to turn off the default system sounds (through Tools > Options > General) and add sounds using PlaySound() to denote your executions and fills.

Here's a link to our help guide on PlaySound():

Note that if you use SetProfitTarget() and SetStopLoss() instead, the appropriate sounds would play.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hello,

I know this post is oldish but it is the only one I found on point.
Using manual trading via the DOM trade action sounds are correct, played as configured.
Using a strategy the stop loss sound played is not correct, not as configured. "order filled" sound is played.
I am using SetProfitTarget() and SetStopLoss().

Hello Mark,

Thank you for the suggestion.

It is expected behavior for ATM strategy-generated orders to play the "Stop Filled" and "Target Filled" sounds. Orders generated by a NinjaScript strategy, even if they are from the SetStopLoss() and SetProfitTarget() methods, play the "Order Filled" sound by default. I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience, as it appears the guidance provided by Kate in post number 2 was inaccurate. As she mentioned, you could play any sound you'd like with PlaySound():

I have submitted a feature request to the Development Team related to stop and target orders generated by Set() methods playing the stop/target filled sounds rather than "Order Filled." I will follow up with an internal tracking number for your reference as soon as it is created.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

Hello,

Thanks for the response.

I did a test to verify I was not mistaken (or dreaming) about the sounds played for a strategy.
For profit target "Target Filled" is played (as configured)
For stop loss "Order Filled" is played.

As to PlaySound, yes I use it when an order is placed.


Cheers,

Mark

Hello Mark,

Thank you for your reply.

I appreciate you pointing out the difference between a profit target and a stop loss being filled. Admittedly, I only tested a stop loss submitted via SetStopLoss() yesterday and got "Order Filled." I did not test out when the profit target is filled. Since this is inconsistent, I have submitted a report to the development team to further investigate. I will post here once I have an update. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out with any additional questions or concerns.

Thank you for your patience.
