Hello Ray,
I posted a question to the forum regarding
a “Speech interface with Amibroker” on Jan 25, 2005, and
Herman van den Bergen replied on Jan 26 2005 with some very interesting code
to get started on. I was able to take that as a beginning and make
some headway, but a lack of solid AFL programming skills and other priorities
caused me to drop it before I finished the project. Take a look at these
messages, Herman is very good and I enjoyed working on the problem.
One limitation of the Alertif function is
that you cannot execute an AFL function with it. Or, at least I don’t
know how.
To get away from this limitation, another
approach which I briefly looked into was to use a freeware program called
Ventrillo which converts text into speech, and Ventrillo can use text
written to the Clipboard for this purpose. Furthermore, AFL has a command Clipboardset(“Text”)
which can very nicely deposit text to the clipboard. So, my vision was to
use AFL commentary with the clipboardset command to do alerting in a free form
fashion. Thus you would write your own alerts and not use the alertif
function at all.
Ok, but how much time did I want to
allocate for projects such as this when the real priority is to become a
successful trader? I expect you can surmise the answer I came to.
Hope this helps,
Grover

Problems AlertIF
Thanks Grover
I have no idea how to prioitize the alerts. I am
newbe with afl, but
have a lot of experience with AIQ-EDS language.
I went to AB so I could run several alerts at the
same time. In fact
I want at least three alerts to give me a fourth
alert when all
three come true in one minute.
Working on a system so that on one minute,
three Futures, ES, ER2
and YM which happen at the same time, such as
pivots, MACD etc, may
indicate a Buy or Sell.
Any ideas how I can prioitize the alerts would be
welcome. Will do a
search of AB messages.
I hope Thomaz will respond to this bug.
