Am I 
reading your post correctly? You increased your account size from $1,000 to 
$10,000 in 16 months?
<SPAN 
class=925081921-31102002> 
If so, 
can you talk more about your approach without revealing your rules?

Jayson;  Thanks, that 
worked. 
 
I'm using 1 minute bars, so you are 
correct,  I get a signal every minute.  The between buy and sell 
sound is merely a tick, quite unobtrusive.  The value is simple, I don't 
have to keep an eye on the graphs at all, and can do something else (like 
learn a bit of code 8->).    
 
The "tick" sound tells me the monitor is 
working.  While my laptop is quite bulletproof,  it is possible 
to lose connectivity, or lag etc.  
 
Works quite well.  Not quite as good 
as  a programmable buy sell, but I don't like the additional 
overhead.  I've taken 1K up to 10k in about 16 months, but that has 
involved a lot of work, and pretty basic tools.   The signals free 
me from hanging on the graphs, real-time.
 
Thanks for helping out, you saved me some 
time.  I have some idea of the time TJ must be spending, even given an 
apparently amazing level of skill.  I've been programming since 
1966,  (really an EE type), and have learned my way around more languages 
than I care to count.  Originally I got into it, as the demand was high, 
and programmers were very scarce.  In recent years,  I've dabbled 
with C,  but given the sheer number of programmers (at IBM),  I 
focused on product related issues in recent years.  I was never 
great,  but always spent whatever time necessary to get the job 
done.
 
Now focused on increasing my play money.  
Didn't expect to get back into programming, even at this high level.  I 
just bought into RT a week ago, and have been focused on implementing what I 
know works, with indicators AB has already available.  So far so 
good. 
 
Thanks again,
Richard

Jason;
As you may have read, my alerts are working great, shown 
here.
AlertIf<FONT 
face="Courier New">(Buy,<FONT color=#ff00ff 
face="Courier New">"SOUND C:\\Windows\\Media\\Notify.wav"<FONT 
face="Courier New">,"Audio 
Buy",<FONT color=#ff00ff 
face="Courier New">2,<FONT 
color=#ff00ff face="Courier New">1<FONT 
face="Courier New">);
<FONT 
size=2>AlertIf<FONT 
face="Courier New">(Sell,<FONT color=#ff00ff 
face="Courier New">"SOUND C:\\Windows\\Media\\ding.wav"<FONT 
face="Courier New">,"Audio 
Sell",<FONT color=#ff00ff 
face="Courier New">2,<FONT 
color=#ff00ff face="Courier New">1<FONT 
face="Courier New">);
I'd like to add one more, which would alert an inbetween 
condition, not buy AND not sell;
I tried the following, which is not quite correct. Can you 
show me?
AlertIf<FONT 
face="Courier New">(((<FONT 
face="Courier New">Buy<FONT 
face="Times New Roman">=0) AND (<FONT 
face="Courier New">Sell<FONT 
face="Times New Roman">=0)),<FONT 
color=#ff00ff face="Courier New">"SOUND C:\\Windows\\Media\\<FONT 
color=#ff00ff face="Times New Roman">start<FONT color=#ff00ff 
face="Courier New">.wav",<FONT 
color=#ff00ff face="Courier New">"Audio Buy"<FONT 
face="Courier New">,<FONT color=#ff00ff 
face="Courier New">2,<FONT

Thanks,
