Adding an Alert to an Oscillator.

This lesson teaches us how to add a number of parameters to the Variables and Properties Regions and to define the WAV files and flags to turn the audio on and off, depending on the criteria the user selected in the user dialog box. We will talk about Historical bars and how our indicator should avoid alerting us on those historical bars. We will also add a horizontal line to our oscillator for the zero line. In addition, we will demonstrate how to create your own personal ALERT WAV file using a FREE utility. The Alert will say: "CL 200 CCI alert" in our example but it could be anything of your choosing. We will learn and use the following reserved words: PlaySound, Historical, Overlay parameter, and Line plot.

Adding an alert to an indicator was the very first inidcator modification I wanted to do on the NinjaTrader platform. We believe this lesson will make it very easy for someone to be able to do so, especially with the background material we have already covered.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
