Forex Symbol Function

[simterann22 10]

Do you find you cannot either use text to speech alerts or get confused when pop ups quote 6 letter forex symbols? Here is a symbol function to help with this.

 

I set my alerts to 'text to speech'.

 

Here is an example as to how you would use this function:

 

Alert("Bullish cross over on " + SymbolText + " " + NumtoStr(BarInterval,0) " minute chart.");

 

ie. if symbol is EURJPY on 60min chart.......this will display/speak.....

 

"Bullish crossover on Euro Yen 60 minute chart."

 

You can make a variable using 'BarType' to substitute tick, minute, volume, range bar in the above example if you use multiple bar types.

 

eg. "Bullish crossover on Euro Yen 100 range bar chart."

 

SymbolText=GetSymbolName;	//default return for ANY symbol
if symbolroot="AUDJPY" then SymbolText="Aussie Yen";
if symbolroot="AUDUSD" then SymbolText="Aussie";
if symbolroot="CADJPY" then SymbolText="Canadian Yen";
if symbolroot="CHFJPY" then SymbolText="Swiss Yen";
if symbolroot="EURAUD" then SymbolText="Euro Aussie";
if symbolroot="EURCAD" then SymbolText="Euro CAD";
if symbolroot="EURCHF" then SymbolText="Euro Swiss";
if symbolroot="EURGBP" then SymbolText="Euro Sterling";
if symbolroot="EURJPY" then SymbolText="Euro Yen";
if symbolroot="EURUSD" then SymbolText="Euro";
if symbolroot="GBPCHF" then SymbolText="Sterling Swiss";
if symbolroot="GBPJPY" then SymbolText="Sterling Yen";
if symbolroot="GBPUSD" then SymbolText="Cable";
if symbolroot="NZDJPY" then SymbolText="Kiwi Yen";
if symbolroot="NZDUSD" then SymbolText="Kiwi";
if symbolroot="USDCAD" then SymbolText="Dollar CAD";
if symbolroot="USDCHF" then SymbolText="Swiss";
if symbolroot="USDJPY" then SymbolText="Yen";
if symbolroot="$DXY" then SymbolText="Dollar Index";
if symbolroot="JC" then SymbolText="Japanese Yen";
if symbolroot="EC" then SymbolText="Euro";
if symbolroot="AD" then SymbolText="Aussie Dollar";
if symbolroot="BP" then SymbolText="Pound Sterling";
if symbolroot="CD" then SymbolText="Canadian Dollar";
if symbolroot="SF" then SymbolText="Swiss Franc";
