Blind trading using sonics

Can anyone point me in the right direction please.
I am trying to achieve the following using a script or indicator.

I would like to be able to assign a wav sound (say beep 1 for example) everytime price moves up by 1 pip

I would also like to be able to assign a wav sound (say beep 2 for example) everytime price moves down by 1 pip

I am trying to develop this for obvious reasons (to many people - it will be an annoying series of beeps) but can someone please help me or kindly develop a script for me which will do the above. I would very much appreciate that.

I have no programming or script knowledge btw.

Best regards and look forward to hearing from anyone that can and is willing to kindly assist.

Thanks you

Interesting request.

I don't think that this will result in a profitable system or something else worthwhile, but I'll program it simply because it seems different.

Just to make sure, you want it on *every* single pip for the pair? I'll post my results soon.

This is now done - I've attached it here.

 

1. Make sure that you choose VERY short sound files. Otherwise the sounds will "clash" with each other during volatile periods
2. All WAV files should be in your MTsounds folder

Enjoy!

i think i have an idea of what he might be doing. subconsiously your brain registers sounds. if your brain hears more down beeps than up beeps, it could tell you that the currency is going down, reversing, etc. interesting idea.

how download it when its an ex4?

Another possibility is that he is, literally, blind. Beeps would be the only way to "see" a chart. If that is the case, then I'm even more glad that I wrote this and would love to find other ways to help

Its not any different of a download. You just take it and put it in your Experts folder and use it.

Thank you all so very much for your very kind help and support.
I am trying to do achieve this so that a blind person can trade.

I have downloaded the file and placed this in my experts folder.
I have chosen 2 very short beeps and placed them in my sounds folder.

I drag the ex4 onto the chart but i cannot seem to change the wavs and i cant seem to get it to work.

Please could you kindly point me as to what i might be doing wrong.

Thanking you in advance for all your help./..

Just wanted to add that when i right click on the chart which i have applied the ex4 to - it does not seem to show up in the indicators list. Hope you wouldn't mind helping further with this. Thanks in advance.

In answer to the earlier question:

Yes please - i would like this on every pip movement for the pair.

So, for example, pip moves up - BeepUP - pip moves down - BeepDOWN.
Pip moves up, up, up, down, up, up, down then this should be reflected by hearing BeepUP, BeepUP, BeepUP, BeepDOWN, BeepUP, BeepUP, BeepDOWN.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks again.

This is not an indicator, I wrote it as an EA. So, if you put it on the chart and then right click and choose Expert Advisors and then Properties, it will allow you to change the two files. There is no path for the sound files, it will be pulling from the "sounds" folder in your MT directory.

Thank you for your kindness.
Unfortunately i am still not able to make it work.
Please tell me if all i have done is correct.

I DN and copied your file to the
Experts Root Folder

Restarted MT4

Went to a chart.
Drag Go-Han sonics from the Expert Advisors tab in the Navigator window and placed this onto Chart.

Right click on Expert Advisors - Properties.
Goto Inputs tab
Select alert.wav
Click Load
Change (files of type) to all
Navigate to Sounds Folder
Select Wav Sound
Click Open

If all the above is correct - once i complete the above - the alert.wav vaule does not change to my new wav sound.

Even on the default (alert.wav) i do not hear any sounds when pips are moving.

Sorry to trouble you with this - hope you can help further.
Really appreciate it very much.

Thanks a million in advance.
Regards

I'm going to post my complete speech system in a new thread for you as soon as i put all this stuff together. You will be able to trade blind and win. Rgrds.

You are correct up to the point where you click the "Load" button.

Do not click the button. Within the same window just double click where it says "alert.wav" and change that to a WAV file that is already in your Sounds folder. You should just type in the name of the file, do not try to search or otherwise hunt for it. As long as the name of that file exists in the Sounds folder, you will hear it play correctly.

Hello there - i really cant figure this out.
I have done exactly what you said and even copied and pasted the file name from my sounds folder to replace the 'alert.wav' to ensure i am not mistyping it. I just cant hear any sounds. I really do not know what to try next. Is there perhaps some settings that i need to enable or disable on the commons tab?

Thank you

Check Tools > Options and then the Expert Advisers tab. Make sure that you choose "Enable Expert Advisers".

Other than that, I would check your speakers and sound card settings.

Are you hearing other alerts from MT such as when you first start it and log in?

Ahh - that must be it - sorry - i didnt enable expert advisors.
Will check on monday when market opens.
Thank you very much
Hope you have a fantastic weekend.

Well - how did it go?

Hi there Long To Be Free.
My sincere apologies for not replying earlier - went away on a small trip

Ok i have tested your wonderful EA and i love it.
You were right - i needed to enable the Expert Advisors in the EA tab.

The only thing i am noticing now (and wondering if you could possibly tweak this for me - if you dont mind).

When, for example, price jumps up 4 pips say - i am only hearing UpBeep once. What i was really trying or hoping to achieve would be to actually hear 4 rapid beeps. So, basically, we hear a beep for every pip movement that has been made.

Perhaps the EA could look at the last price (after everymove) and calculate the pip distance and then beep according. I do realize that by doing it this way - this might cause a slight lag in the beeps but (unless there is another way around this) this small lag would be fine. At least if price moves say from 1.2891 to 1.2896 (in one jump) then by hearing 5 Up Beeps - you would be able to tell exactly how many pips have moved as oppose to just 1 beep.

Hope this makes sense
Thanks once again for your very kind help on all of this.

BEST REGARDS....

Here's another version. However, you have to pick VERY short sound files. The way it is now, with the two default sound files, it will not work. It's also possible that the MT platform simply can't handle files that frequently.

Thank you.
Just out of curiosity - what did you change on this version?
Thanks in advance.
