sound-coded block orders?

[Tasuki]

Here's an interesting idea:
In the time and sales, you can set a sound alert (any of several) to beep when a block order goes off. So far so good. But it might be useful to have them "sound-coded" so you'd get one sort of sound for buy orders and a different sound for sell orders. Is it even possible to code something like that? (I'm doubting that such a thing is already available?).
Thanks,
Tasuki

Hello Tasuki,

Yes, you could code a script that plays any sound file for any condition you would like.

To play a sound with an alert, provide a sound location to the Alert() method.
Alert(string id, Priority priority, string message, string soundLocation, int rearmSeconds, Brush backBrush, Brush foreColor)

The example from the help guide:
Alert("myAlert", Priority.High, "Reached threshold", NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.InstallDir+@"\sounds\Aler t1.wav", 10, Brushes.Black, Brushes.Yellow);

Also, see this example that is a simple demonstration of the logic in the Time & Sales window.

Thanks, Chelsea, wow that went way over my head. How do I find someone with the tech savvy to code this? (and of course, how much would it cost?)
Thanks,
Tasuki
