Need help with Audio Alert when currency hits a certian price...

[rwd1971]

Hi,

I am trying to set up an EFS to play an audio alert when a currency goes above or below a certian price. Rite now I have a GBP.ach file which I load a GBP.efs formula file into to play a sound file when a MACD crossover occurs. Does anyone know of any code on the ESignal site that I can use to determine when a currency hits a certain point that will trigger a sound file to be played?

Thanks alot,
Rick.

The attached efs should do what you asked
Go to Edit Studies and set the Thresholds to the desired values (defaults are 0). If the high/low of a bar crosses the Threshold it will trigger an audio alert (one per bar only at each cross)
The labels in the Cursor Window will indicate at what levels the Thresholds are set.

FWIW this should work also in Playback mode if you want to try it out.

Alex,

It works great..I tweaked your code a bit to display some
text on the chart for the hi and lo at the set hi and lo.

One more question on the Alert.email(text, subject) method.
How do you specify the email address for the message to be
sent to? Shouldn't the method be Alert.email(address, text, subject)?

Thanks

Oh ya...what do you mean by PlayBack Mode...how do I
do that?

TIA,
Rick.

For the address and other email settings select View->Alerts in the main menu.
Then put a check in Email Alerts and click the Settings button next to it.
