MACD Crossover alert

[davidjrjr]

On the MACD crossover EFS, I added an audio alert to the EFS that dings when MACD and signal line cross. However, I would like to hear the ding only on close, not intra-bar. Any suggestions?
The code I used for the alert was "
alert.playsound("ding.wav"); // play sound file

You can do that by adding the following lines of code in the main function before the return statement
Alex

if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){//on the first tick of a new bar
    if(study.getValue(MACDStudy.MACD,-2) <= study.getValue(MACDStudy.SIGNAL,-2) && //IF MACD of two bars ago is less than Signal of two bars ago AND
       study.getValue(MACDStudy.MACD,-1) > study.getValue(MACDStudy.SIGNAL,-1){ //MACD at prior bar is greater than Signal at p[rior bar THEN
            Alert.playSound("ding.wav");//sound alert
    }
    //same as above but with reversed operators for crossing down
}
