Faster / shorter audio alerts?

Is there any way to speed up the audio alerts? You have built a lot of functionality into the audio alerts feature but where they get stacked up in a cue and each one has to play completely before the next one plays severely limits the number of alerts that can be employed. If I have more than 2 or 3 alerts (of course depending on what they are) when the market is busy, like in the morning and at the close, the alerts become meaningless because they basically just fire off continuously and are so delayed. What would really be nice is if SC could play multiple alerts simultaneously, as they are triggered. In addition, I don't understand why traders / platforms don't do more with audio alerts. We're relying only on one sense--our eyes--to monitor the market. I know for me, I could monitor it a lot better if I could employ 2 senses--my ears--as well. Perhaps this could become a real strength for SC. Thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2013-06-26 20:33:52

+1 strongly agree, I am anxiously awaiting the quoteboard alerts so i dont have to draw a horizontal line and leave up every market i trade in separate charts and delete the drawing after the alert. would make life a lot easier (understatement) to just right click the quoteboard symbol and have a spot to enter a price so when price hits that level an alert fires off and then deletes itself without having to leave up 6 charts just for alerts |

Quote Board Alerts are coming. We know you asked about those before. As far as playing multiple alert sounds at the same time, this would seem to be a limitation of the operating system. If we could do that, we would. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

I believe you can do that. On my Microsoft Windows system, I can double-click multiple WAV files and play all those files simultaneously (synchronously). In other words, I can run multiple instances of the program I have associated with WAV files. (I don't know if it's relevant, but the file association parameters include a "%L".) In SC, multiple alerts play asynchronously, one after the other. I'm not a programmer, but if SC happens to be using the PlaySound function, as described on the webpage linked below; then, it looks to me like SC has the option of playing multiple alert sounds by using a particular fdwSound flag. But then, it may be that doing so would cause a previous sound to terminate, whenever a new sound is called before the previous sound is finished. I can't tell by reading that webpage whether the sounds would overlap each other or whether a new sound would terminate an existing sound. Either way, that seems to be a suitable option "to speed up the audio alerts". http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd743680(v=vs.85).aspx If synchronous alerts were to be implemented in SC, I request that we be able to toggle them on or off. |
