Help With Alert instead Of Live Trade

shorttermtrader · #1 (**permalink**) 11-15-2006, 03:40 PM

This EA was programmed for me to put in a trade when all conditions are met. But I would like it to give me an alert (sound or WAV) when all conditions are met Instead of putting in a live trade. I have other time frames I look at and want to confirm when the alert sounds then enter the trade manually. If you can program this I will give you my trading strategy that does very well.

Thank You

Sorry but I do not know how to code so these are the only alerts that were brought up when I used the "Find":

case OP_BUY:
{
Alert("I want to open buy order");
}
break;
case OP_BUYLIMIT:
{
Alert("I want to open buy limit order");
}
break;
case OP_BUYSTOP:
{
Alert("I want to open buy stop order");
}
break;
case OP_SELL:
{
Alert("I want to open sell order");
}
break;
case OP_SELLLIMIT:
{
Alert("I want to open sell limit order");
}
break;
case OP_SELLSTOP:
{
Alert("I want to open sell stop order");
}
break;

That is right , U should change Alert to Play sound
like that:

FROM =>

Code:

case OP_BUY:
        {  
			Alert("I want to open buy order");
        }

TO =>

Code:

case OP_BUY:
{  
	PlaySound("alert.wav");
}

BTW, I sent u PM, but U didn't sent me description of your strategy. U said u will do it, so I'm waiting.
