Hello, let see if someone can help me. This should be easy but I can't find the way.

I would like to set an alert if 'current bar' volume is at or above a certain volume. Is that possible with TOS? I can't find the volume option in the alerts popup.

Thanks in advance!

Yakito,

I am not sure if you can do it by adding an alert to the Volume, but you surely can doing by programming a simple study that plots the volume and handles the alerts.

Thanks! I will try to do that. I am fairly new to TOS scripting.

You could even make your own program and detect when the volume bar hits a certain height. Make it sound or whatever you need.

Thanks a lot, can you hint me on what the code would look like? I am not asking for the exact code, but I am new with TOS scripting I am a little bit lost, so any help, will..help a lot!

Once I code it, I have to add it as a study right? and on the alerts pop ups it will show as an option with a field were I can input the number I wish the alert to be on?

Thanks!!!

My language of choice is C# so here is a snippet of the code that would detect a green or grey candlestick in TOS:

 

Code

bool candleOne = false; Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(3718 - minusX, 177, 1, 488); Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(rect.Width, rect.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb); Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp); g.CopyFromScreen(rect.Left, rect.Top, 0, 0, bmp.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy); for (int i = 0; i < rect.Height; i++) { if (bmp.GetPixel(0, i).ToArgb() == -16547840 || bmp.GetPixel(0, i).ToArgb() == -6904396) { candleOne = true; } }

Do you still need help coding?

Hi motowater ! Thanks a lot, for some reason I was not notified of your first reply with the code! I will be taking a look at it and post any doubts I might get.

Thanks a lot!

Yakito, did these the code work for you? Can you set alert at a > 150% volume threshold?
