Hi
does anybody know what would be the code just to sound a wave file at a specified time?

I have this wav file that I would like to play when the market opens.

thanks
Spencer

Hi Spencer,

This is JUST a guess so please don't send me hate mail if it doesn't work, but I'd give this a try:

 

Code

protected override void OnBarUpdate() if(ToTime(Time[0]) == 093000)      {      PlaySound(@"C:\your file path here")      }

If it does work and you want an opening and closing bell sound, try this:

 

Code

protected override void OnBarUpdate() if(ToTime(Time[0]) == 093000 || ToTime(Time[0]) == 160000)      {      PlaySound(@"C:\your file path here")      }

Good luck,
Dave

That might be something you want to do outside Ninja to keep it out of the Ninja thread and memory pool. You could do it in Outlook or many of the third-party Windows alarm clock programs, for example.

If you like the ATT Text to Speech voices you can do countdowns to open/close of different markets.
