Sir,

I have created custom alerts sounds in wav. format but when I reload Sierracharts, I do not see them in the scrolling list from the alert tab within the indicator chosen.

Is it a problem of name length ?

Here is a file attached.

Thanks for your feedback !

You first need to save this file into the C:\SierraChart\AlertSounds folder.

Once that is done, then you need to set this particular alert sound file to an Alert Number. Here are instructions:

Thanks I finally integrate new sounds !

I have tried to implement in a 15mn chart a specific alert when a candle cross a Bollinger Band, a Bb Top and/or a BB bottom adding 2 studies 'Color based on Alert Condition'
and this code on each:

=CROSSOVER(ID8.SG1)

=CROSSOVER(ID8.SG3)

ID8 is the Bollinger Band indicator
SG1 is the Top Bollinger
SG3 is the bottom Bollinger


But this do noes trigger the custom sound.


On a daily chart, if I do implement this code: =CROSSOVER(ID6.SG1,ID6.SG3) directly on the indicator Bolling Band, then I cannot distinguish the Top to the Bottom Band cross.
ID6 is the Bollinger Band indicator
SG1 is the Top Bollinger
SG3 is the bottom Bollinger

Please see attached files..

On the alert manager, I get a continuous message error telling me there is no sound file implemented.. and ARGS!

Does it mean that arguments are missing ?


Thanks for your kind help !
