"In priceaction swing thread, Nicetrade wrote: My previous request for adding audio alert in divergence may be too much since the divergence signal keeps moving till fixed so that might be too many alerts. Then please just add an audio alert for DT/DB with sound file selectable from my hard drive since

With apologies to (beautiful code bludgeoned by my intrusion) I have modified PriceActionSwingPro. I added one bool to turn on voice alerts for DT/DB, I added two inputs for two separate sound files, I added the simple Playsound in the area when the labels are, so as a result DB/DT labels must be turned on as well. I also created two voice alerts which can be placed anywhere or if you prefer you can use your own sounds. Whichever you use, you will need to input the complete path and filename, for each sound.
With apologies to , exposure is something with which i am unfamiliar, thus not my paygrade.
I'm not sure how this will install with the existing PriceactionSwingPro. It is possible that you may have to remove the .CS file and replace it with the one in the attached zip and then recompile."

I find the PriceActionSwingPro indicator (and the oscillator) to be a very good and helpful indicator but the indicator is based on the high of the bar/candle. I prefer looking at waves based on the close price and so I wonder if it would be possible to add an option / parameter so one can choose to use the indicator based on the high or on the close of a bar? I think this will make the indicator a little better.
I had an older version of the PAS and it had triangle pattern formations which would display bold lines (green or red) and a continuation expectation arrow soon after the pattern had formed.
It doesn't look to me like that feature is available anymore in the latest version and found its function to be very interesting and would like to explore that more.
If anybody has this version or can post a snippet of the code which enabled this function I'd be very appreciative!

Thanks for your contribution.
Your update with addition of audible alerts for DT & DB are very useful.
In the same lines, is it possible to add following TWO sound alerts after print of following swings:
(1) HL (2) LH.
Also, is it possible to add the sound alerts during following BREAK-OUTevents:
(1) when a HL swing is taken out by the swing that is going to form LL swing.
(2) When a LH swing is taken out by the swing that is going to form HH swing.
Appreciate your help and thanking you in advance.

P.S.:Request to consolidate all these alerts when he updates in Oct.13'. I really thank for his outstanding contribution by gifting such an wonderful indicator to all of us.
Thanks for the thanks. I don't have much time available and 's code while a thing of beauty can cause brain hemorrhages when read to quickly. In other words, don't hold your breath...

While using your DT/DB signal sound alerts, I find that many of the signals fails when the swings take-out prior HH swing OR prior LL swing.
Hence, in order to honor the DT/DB sound alerts and enter the trade, we may need yet another sound alert for each of DT and DB signals like in the case of ABC Pattern long entry and short entry alerts after formation of DT & DB.
I suggest following two alerts for DT & DB entries:
(1) DT Short Entry sound alert
(2) DB Long Entry sound alert
As you are pre-occupied at the moment, hope takes note of this observation when he takes up the work for new version.
At the outset, I would like to thank you for contributing such an amazing indicator to all of us. While using your indicator for the last couple of weeks, I observed that there is a scope to further improvements to enter the trades more confidently.
Following are my Observations and Requests for possible inclusion and consideration, while you revise the code for the next new version:
(A) REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL SOUND ALERTS:
Addition of following sound alerts with user assignable Audio file names like in the case of ABC LONG/SHORT ENTRY ALERTS under ALERTS window of indicator parameter panel. :
These alerts shall be after the respective swing is complete and swing signal does not change anymore.
SWING ENTRY SOUND ALERTS FOR FOLLOWING SWINGS:
1. DT Short Entry
2. DB Long Entry
3. HL swing Long entry
4. LH swing Short Entry
5. Regular Divergence Long Entry
6. Regular Divergence Short Entry
7. Hidden Divergence Long Entry
8. Hidden Divergence Short Entry
SWING BREAK-OUT ALERTS:
(1) Breakout Short Entry -when a HL swing of the previous Up Trend is taken out by the Down swing that is going to form a LL swing.
(2) Breakout Long Entry - When a LH swing of the previous Down Trend is taken out by the Up swing that is going to form a HH swing.
(B) OBSERVATIONS ON DIVERGENCE INDICATOR :
With my UniRenko Candles and MACD BBlines oscillator(12,26,9), the RD/HD lines are getting drawn between almost all swing HHs & LLs and does not reflect true divergences. I am not sure why that is occurring to me. However, with my another RD/HD indicators viz., ECIDiv_v4 that is available in futures.io (formerly BMT) gives me correct indications as per following logic. Hence, I request you to review your code for possible correction, if any.: LOGIC:
Regular Divergence Short Signal: @ PRICE HH swing when MACD oscillator has LH swing
Regular Divergence Long Signal : @ PRICE LL swing when MACD oscillator has HL swing
Hidden Divergence Short Signal: @ PRICE LH swing when MACD oscillator has HH swing
Hidden Divergence Long Signal : @ PRICE HL swing when MACD oscillator has LL swing
Due to above reason, I would like to continue using my ECIDiv_v4 divergence indicator and hence would like to Block the code relating to divergence signals and alerts in your indicator. For doing this change, can you please advise on which are the lines in your code do I need to insert the comment forward slashes.?
(C) CONCLUSION:
I am sure and confident that with above stated inclusions and modifications one can very confidently take trade entries without any other indicators but for price candles coupled with your price action entry alerts, like Big Mike.
Thanking you once again for your contribution to the trading community.

, my experience seems to be that DT/DB is sounded if the indi is COBC is false. If COBC is true then it will not sound alert if the price moved through it.
This is a primary reason I am using the indicator as COBC false.
