Alert for vendor's add-on signal.

[LarrikinDave]

HI,

I'm using an add-on signal but the vendor is not interested in including an audio alert.
I've attempted to use the "Alerts..." menu but can not figure anything out.
Is it possible to do and can you advise how, please?

If not, the vendor has alluded to a different vendor that may offer an audio alert to put over the top of his code ... but wasn't sure where or who. Any ideas please?

Hello LarrikinDave,

Thank you for writing in.

I suggest the following two links on setting up alerts,

If you are still unable to set up an alert, its possible the indicator does not expose a data series or plot which could be used for the alert. After testing using the information in the links above, if you are still unable, you could upload a copy of the alert here and I can test on my end.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks Alan,
The issue I'm having is not knowing which relational operator to use for a On/Off or True/False signal.
The vendor's assemblies' conditions are met to draw an object (triangle), what would you do to make it play a sound with the Alerts feature, please?

Hello LarrikinDave,

Without the code I'm unable to know.

You could see the attached sample which will loop through drawing objects on a chart, for which you could modify into a script which would trigger an alert if one of those drawing objects appeared.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
