Horizontal Line Price with alarm

[trade.ripper]

Ok Boys and Girls,

I really can't believe that NT doesn't have this available yet - so for what its worth, here is an indicator that will display a price on a horizontal line or ray. I put it together with duct tape and bailing wire and a bunch of snippets from this forum.

To set the alarm, go to the properties of the indicator and make sure that AlertsOnLines is set to true. If you want an email sent, fill in your email and set SendEmail to true. Make sure that the email notification is set up in Control Center..

To set the alarm on a line you add "-a" to the tag. The tag is in the properties (right mouse click on the line) on the data tab. The Tag is an auto generated ID for each item on the charts. So it might look like this: 3-a.

Cheers!

Hi trade.ripper,

Thanks for the post!

Similarly, please see the indicator posted here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...d=1&linkid=314

Yep I saw that! But its not really what I was after. I like to be able to throw lines on my charts and know what price level they are at. I usually have several levels that I am watching.

Any idea of when NT will have alerts & data display available on ALL drawing objects?

Hi trade.ripper,

I will forward your suggestion on to our development team.

Thanks, I've set the parameters as you've stated, but it does not work. Has anyone gotten this to work?

Can you be a bit more specific? What doesn't work? Can you see a price on a horizontal line?

well, i set it to "true" and altered the tag to -a, but no sound was forthcomming when a line was crossed?? Not sure what i did wrong? any ideas? thx

Ok here is an updated version. It should find the sound files in the installation directory. You can also set the name of the alarm that you want to use.

Let me know if you have any issues...
