Hi all,

Is anyone aware of an NT indicator that will play a sound alert on each new non time based bar. I found this created by @Mindset but it is only for time based charts: https://nexusfi.com/download/vip_elite_circle/477-download.html?view

Im hoping something exists for Volume or Tick charts. It doesn't necessarily need as much functionality as the above indicator. It would just need to play a sound on each new bar.

Thanks.

My indicator will play a sound on each new Volume/Tick Bar. However none of the other functionality will work and you would need to remove the line

 
Code
graphics.DrawString(errorIntraday, textFont2, textBrush, bounds.X + bounds.Width - noTickTextWidth, bounds.Y + bounds.Height - noTickTextHeight, stringFormat);
So that you don't get the annoying error message.
Personally phillipp's solution is much neater and saves a ton of resources!!

I have a question related to this, I'm not sure if it's betterrenko doing it but is there a way to turn OFF the on update sound for betterRenko? It makes market replay quite unpleasant

I guess I should add that I removed all the indis so it is not that, I didn't see anything that looked to be able to set/remove the sound effect for the bar, I don't think the time charts are doing it just betterrenko.

OK I apologize, definitely NOT betterrenko doing it, I've turned off all the other sound effects, just get this beep which looks like its coming from the bar being formed (maybe a new high/low?) Anyone else have that on market replay?

I know this is a very old thread, but does anyone have a script that plays a sound file when a new volume bar is charted (or a few units before a new bar is created) that would work for NT8 (current version is 8.0.15.1).

Thanks in advance!
