Read Alerts Generated by other Indicators

[motxu]

Hello.
Is there a way to read when writing a strategy aletrs generated in aletrswindow by other indicators?
I've tried:
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, IEnumerable<AlertEventArgs>> baseAlert in NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Alert.AlertHistory)
{
foreach (AlertEventArgs alertEventArgs in baseAlert.Value)
{
Print("id: " + alertEventArgs.Id + " instrument: " + alertEventArgs.Instrument.FullName);
}
}

But wont work.

Thank you.
Regards

Hello motxu,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader support forum.

I wanted to ask, are the alerts happening in the same workspace? I do see this working on my end after testing the code you provided an indicator to generate alerts and a strategy to read it.

Indicator causes an Alert:

Alert("Test" +  CurrentBar, Priority.High, "test Message", "",0,Brushes.Red, Brushes.Gold);

Strategy Prints that from OnBarUpdate:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    foreach (KeyValuePair<string, IEnumerable<AlertEventArgs>> baseAlert in NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Alert.AlertHistory)
    { 
        foreach (AlertEventArgs alertEventArgs in baseAlert.Value)
        {
	        Print("id: " + alertEventArgs.Id + " instrument: " + alertEventArgs.Instrument.FullName);
        }
    }
}

I can see the alert is updated.

id: Test20214699839150754002 instrument: ES 12-17

It looks like there is a timestamp or some random increment appended to the ID which makes its print look this way.

Could you provide more detail on your test using this code? Are you seeing no output or something unexpected?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hmmm

Hello Jesse, thank you for your answer.
Alerts generated in same workspace.
This is the code:

Hello,

Thank you for the additional details.

I had not initially caught that this was posted in the NT7 subforum when I had replied as the syntax indicated to me this was for NT8. The code you have pasted was originally for NT8 which does work in NT8 but will not in NT7. There is no way I am aware of to capture the alerts in NT7, you would instead need to expose a signal from the indicator and then have the strategy call the indicator from code.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Ok.
Thank you Jesse
