Tomasz; Turns out my original "Dumb question"
really was dumb. I had set the alert correctly from the start, and ithas
been working correctly from the start. Forgot tri-state logic. From
a user viewpoint, a buy signal is a buy, until a sell is reached. However,
of course, the buy signal is tripped, and rarely held as programmed. More
a "hold position until sell" on the buy side. Same thing on the other
side. Most of the time, one is between alerts.. duh.
Sorry, as I said, dumb.
However, the system continues to work!! I
love backtesting. Some very good trades, and no losses.
The audio alert lets one do other things. Not
quite as good as programmed trades, but on my budget, its a major
improvement.
Let the computer wars continue...

Richard,
As I wrote in the previous message, use this:
AlertIf(Sell,<FONT
face="Courier New" color=#ff00ff>"SOUND
C:\\Windows\\Media\\Notify.wav",<FONT
face="Courier New" color=#ff00ff>"Audio alert"<FONT
face="Courier New">, <FONT face="Courier New"
color=#ff00ff>2, <FONT
face="Courier New" color=#ff00ff>1 /*FLAGS!!!*/<FONT
face="Courier New">);

Thanks Tomasz;
All seems to be in order. I assumed if I
cleared the scan window, via a new backtest, and then re-scan, I'd testthe
scan/alert system, despite after hours, and no new data.
Now I'm thinking your system is smart enough to
know that the data is not new; therefore the alert should
work when new data comes in this morning.
No error messages, and setup appears to be
correct.
Market will open shortly, so I'm goingto
wait...
Thanks again,
Richard

Richard,
1. Watch STATUS BAR for thedisplay
of possible error message generated by AlertIF
when there is a trouble playing the file
2. Open View->Alert Output.
3. Re-read Tutorial on alerts.
Most users are confused by the fact that AlertIF by
default will not generate more than one
signal for the same stock and the same bar - thisis so
because AlertIF is designed
to run in real time and therefore such behaviour is
needed to prevent repetitive alerts.
If you WANT repetitive alerts (for testing) you should
use
AlertIf<FONT
face="Courier New">(Sell,<FONT face="Courier New"
color=#ff00ff>"SOUND C:\\Windows\\Media\\Notify.wav"<FONT
face="Courier New">,"Audio
alert", <FONT face="Courier New"
color=#ff00ff>2, <FONT
face="Courier New" color=#ff00ff>1 /*FLAGS!!!*/<FONT
face="Courier New">);
Note FLAGS
parameter SET TO 1.<FONT
face="Courier New">
<FONT
size=2>Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

Subject: [amibroker] dummy question
for the day...
To all;
Trying to get an alert to work during
autoanalysis/scanning.
The scanning works correctly, giving
buy/sell as expected.
Why can I not just add this code, after the
buy/sell definition line, and expect the alert to occur?
AlertIf(Sell,<FONT
color=#ff00ff>"SOUND C:\\Windows\\Media\\Ding.wav",<FONT
color=#ff00ff>"Audio alert",<FONT face="Courier New"
color=#ff00ff>2);
The result is no change in behavior, meaning the
buy/sell scan continues to work, but no sound alert.
Nothing. Nada.
If verfied pathing. Sound works correctly.
I should note I can not get any kind of alerts to work from
autoanalysis, other than the buy/sell signals themselves.
Thanks for any clues/ideas/checks.
