Adding Sound to Your Indicator (EasyLanguage)

[Tams 20]

This thread is about Adding Sound to your Indicator (EasyLanguage)

 

 

 

syntax:

 

PlaySound

 

Plays the specified wave (.wav) sound file.

 

Usage

 

PlaySound("PathFilename")

 

Where: PathFilename - a string expression specifying the path and filename of the wave file to be played

 

Example

 

Play ding.wav sound file located in the root directory of the C: hard drive:

 

PlaySound("C: \ding.wav");

I was missing alerts for my strategy exit.

 

If it is intrabar and works in signal , that's very interesting

 

Because alert plays at the end of the bar... sometimes that's too late.

 

And repeat is quite boring.

[Tams 20]

you can configure the sound criteria in ALERT.

 

pls see attached.

 

 

.

[aaa 10]

Right now the alert says "support 1 mn" every seconds during 1 mn...:crap:

 

Stressing, specially now with a terribly bullish market (2.60 % and NY opens in 1 hour)

 

This alert should be better if it starts only once in intrabar

 

I will test your solution

[aaa 10]

Please TAMS , Next topic = regression channel

 

The chart shows the end run of a huge wave

 

Question =

 

Could it be possible to cross the higher trendline ?

 

The regression channel has the answer ?

 

Market is like a donkey trying to reach the carot line

I think there are already a few threads on that.

but you can always start a new thread.

I've done that

 

// Alert

if Value1 > Value1[1] 		then
             PlaySound("D:\MyPath\Audio\support 1 mn.wav"); 
//		Alert( " Support" 		);

 

it is like this

pls see attached.

 

Each time the condition is true it plays the sound like this during 1 mn

 

support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn support 1 mn...

 

:crap:

[Tams 20]

The playsound is repeated...

because every time a tick came through, the conditional statement is evaluated.

if the condition is true... then the Playsound statement is executed.

 

to make the sound play once only, you have to add a few things...

 

 

input:
soundon(true);

var:
play.once(0);


if  Value1 > Value1[1]
and [color="Red"]soundon and play.once <> currentbar[/color] then
begin
playsound("C:\soundfiles\support 1 mn.wav");
play.once = currentbar; 
end;

[aaa 10]

It still repeats on each tick instead of only the first one

 

It is a 1 mn chart

 

// Alert

if Value1 > Value1[1] and soundon and play.once <> currentbar 		then
begin
	PlaySound("D:\soundfiles\Support 1 mn.wav");
	play.once = currentbar; 
end;

ARH... SORRY... I missed one little keyword.

I have highlighted it in red below:

 

 

input:
soundon(true);

var:
[b][color="Red"]intrabarpersist[/color][/b] play.once(0);


if  Value1 > Value1[1]
and soundon and play.once <> currentbar then
begin
playsound("C:\soundfiles\support 1 mn.wav");
play.once = currentbar; 
end;

[aaa 10]

It works fine Tams

 

nice code

 

It is a small walk for a trader and and big one for the community :haha:

 

no really, we have a vocal signal at the same time the indicator plots

 

no x seconds delay or a stressing multiple vocal

 

REAL TIME

[aaa 10]

Before I used

 

myIndicatorUp

myIndicatorDn

 

and set a different message in Tab alert setting

 

Now I use

 

myIndicator

 

with 2 different vocal alerts (Up + Dn or more)

 

I use omnipage vocal engine

 

If you don't have a vocal engine tell me the messages you need and I will create them and post them here

inputs: 
soundon(		1	),
Vocal.Up(		PlaySound("D:\Audio\Support 1 mn.wav")    ),
Vocal.Dn(		PlaySound("D:\Resistance 1 mn.wav") ),

var:
intrabarpersist play.once(		0	);

// Alerts

// Alert Support
if Value1 > Value1[1] and soundon <> 0 and play.once <> currentbar 		    then
begin	
	Vocal.Up ; 
	play.once = currentbar; 
end;

// Alert Resistance

if Value2 < Value2[1] and soundon <> 0 and play.once <> currentbar 		     then
begin
	Vocal.Dn ; 
	play.once = currentbar; 
end;

[aaa 10]

Correction

 

inputs: 
soundon(		1	),
Vocal.Up(		PlaySound("D:\MC.Audio\Your.Vocal.Up.wav")    ),
Vocal.Dn(		PlaySound("D:\MC.Audio\Your.Vocal.Dn.wav") ),

var:
intrabarpersist play.once(		0	);

// Alerts

// Alert Support
if Value1 > Value1[1] and soundon <> 0 and play.once <> currentbar 		    then
begin	
	Vocal.Up ; 
	play.once = currentbar; 
end;

// Alert Resistance

if Value2 < Value2[1] and soundon <> 0 and play.once <> currentbar 		     then
begin
	Vocal.Dn ; 
	play.once = currentbar; 
end;

[aaa 10]

Is The vocal in my signal correct ?

 

Because it plays before, after, without no reasons

 

{---------------- Long Side ----------------}
// Entrie

... (no change)

// Exits

if marketposition = 1 then begin

if  my.conditions and soundon <> 0 and play.once <> currentbar then    	
begin
	Sell ("L1") 1 contracts this Bar ;
	Vocal.Up ; 
	play.once = currentbar; 
end;

[aaa 10]

I think that I know :doh:

 

When my first condition of exit is reached the signal appears on my screen

 

When my second condition of exit is reached the signal appears on my screen

 

(I have 27 exits...)

 

If the condition1 < condition2 and condition1 > stop then

 

each time the price moves around condition1 the vocal sounds

 

If I'm right is there a way to correct that ?

[Tams 20]

with the play.once counter,

the sound will only play ONCE per bar.

 

if you have difference sounds and different conditions,

you can use diffferent counters.

 

e.g.

 

var:

play.once.up(0),

play.once.dn(0),

play.once.buy(0),

play.once.sell(0),

... etc.,

[aaa 10]

OK Tams I'm out of my trade (News 14:30 May601K April639K US unemployment and the future plouf 30 points... how do you say that , "stop hunting" ?)

 

I v'e enter only the first exit

 

if I change play.once with play.once.up

 

I will still have each mn the condition reached

 

is there a way to stop the vocal during the x mn untill the second condition or stop is reached ?

[aaa 10]

I'm so glad to have my vocal alerts in RT

 

Did I thanked you ?

 

If not, I thank you again :helloooo:

I am not sure if I understand what you want.

 

can you list out the operation one action at a time?

[aaa 10]

Oups

 

Sorry Tams

 

It is 22:23 in your huge island and 14:54 in my "tiny" land

 

I was wondering if x > y and delta<= marmelade... so stupid

 

If fact, I don't know why this is vocal chaotic

What do you mean by vocal chaotic?

men's voice changed to boys'?

 

jk...

 

do you mean the sound kept playing non-stop?

 

I have never tried sound in a strategy, I thought it should work the same.

 

have you added the intrabarpersist in front of the variable?

HaHaHa !

 

Sorry if My english is bad

 

Spricht du Deutsch / Francais / Italian / espanol ?

 

If not, I will still torture you in your langage

 

 

 

I think that I understand/appreciate your code

 

 

When my first condition of exit is reached the signal appears on my screen

 

When my second condition of exit is reached the signal appears on my screen

 

(I have 27 exits...)

 

between the both the vocal sounds oftenly

 

I was wondering that

 

Condition1 reached = signal on screen + vocal

 

After

 

If the condition1 < condition2 and condition1 > stop

 

and condition = OK then

 

each time the price = my condition1 the vocal sounds once in the minute

 

OUF ! my brain is smoking !!!

 

Is ther a way to correct that

Je suis désolé mais je ne comprends pas.

Je comprends un peu.

Pouvez-vous parler plus lentement ?

 

I took one year of German and one year of French in high school.

That was a long time ago... LOL. Don't try me.

 

 

If you are applying the sound to a 1 min chart, you will get a lot of hits.

you can add one more counter:

 

var:

order.filled(false);

 

if soundon and play.once <> currentbar AND order.filled = false then...

 

 

once the order is filled, the sound will stop.

[aaa 10]

Aouch that's a 100 pts toilet flush !!

 

The vocal plays "Sell S1 1 minute" during all the "7' S" and each beginning of a minute

 

But not always...

 

step by step I'm sure that we will find

 

I join a pix to explain why I need vocal aids

 

I plot Histogramm colored down to the price wich hides the Signal

 

Big problem...

 

Because I love colored waves

 

1 - 2 - 3 hop !

 

Even tho it's automatic trades I use manual mode to reverse or go out the trade

 

And it's very quick = a few seconds to decide

 

This is why, dear Tams, RealTime Vocals is absolutely "indispensable" (let's try your French )
