Hi guys,
I downloaded a Moving Average Price Alert from here a while back [code below and attached].
Problem is- i cant seem to get a custom sound working. the script always defaults to the "alert.wav" style sound in the sounds folder..
i cant seem to change this even if trying PlaySound ("myownsound.wav") etc..
Appreciate any help!
