Time alerts

[chiropharm]

Is there a way of setting an alert to sound every x minutes.


EX
Using 5 min bars I would like to have an alarm that would sound at 5 min intervals, 1 min before my bars close; therefore if my bars open and close at :05, :10, :15 ....., I would like the alarm to sound at :04, :09, :14.......

Thanks in advance

You could use the RemainingBarTime.efs that Jason coded a while back as a base to do what you want.
In the attached example I added the command to sound one buzz when the remaining time is less than 1 minute (changes are highlighted in the efs)

Again Alex, thanks for the prompt response.

It signals every 5 minutes, but at the close of the bar, istead of prior to the close.

Try the attached revision.

I set up a new 5 min AdvCh with only the timer as a study.

The timer in the upper right corner of the screen now advances on each price change tick, and the alarm triggers on the first price change during the last minute of the bar.

My prev post, referring to the new chart was done with the original version.
