Scalping With Sound!

Hi all,

Since i started scalping i've always found i've wanted to "hear" the market move, so i wrote this little indicator; and love it. Being able to hear the market move gives another sense of it's state, it's volatility, and how busy it is. Also it would be really useful to scalpers who only use 1 monitor, and so sometimes have the platform in the background, it allows you to hear if the market makes a sudden move.

Give it a shot, i'm sure you'll like it too!

You'll need to put the "Market Pace" folder in your "MT4/sounds" directory.

Yeah, higher tone for up tick, lower tone for down tick, greater volume for greater tick size

The files are encrypted and windows 7 will not play them. They are "green" in color.
Hold that comment, I fixed that. Still doesn't work.... working on it....

Update...OK - got it, I'm using studio monitors for speakers and they don't turn on fast enough. I play music to keep them on and I hear the sounds.
Now to listen to the market!!

ahah.. that's awesome

I usually listen to TradersAudio.com market cast in the S&P500 (ES) futures pit during the NYC session. Gone are the days of open outcry trading, but when things pick up you can still hear the roar in the background. Lets me know when activity is about to pickup or is about to break out.

Can I make a suggestion?

Instead of increasing the volume (which is really just playing a different wave.. nice hack there ) why not play around with different tones?

If you want to take a page from the realm cogitative psychology... search out positive and negative tones then have 5-10 levels of increasing or decreasing frequency on them.

I've played around with indicators that do this visually as well.. deepening the red or brightening the green on a given movement within the chart depending on activity.

Yeah, i tried that before, but i find volume works better. The sounds needs to be very short in duration, so when ticks start coming in fast one can still be play before the next one starts, also there needs to be a degree of fade out of the sound so that it doesn't sound too harsh. With these two factors i found it was hard to really adjust the pitch and still produce a nice sound. Also i'm a bit tone deaf and found it harder to tell the difference between big ticks up and little ticks up, or little ticks up and little ticks down. Maybe if i was using a different sound it would work better....Maybe others would like to give that a try and up load their version...?

Just use the indicator exactly as it is. Simply replace the sound files with the ones you want to use, and keeps the names the same.

-------------------------



saved my sound files in sound file and modified this line of code

string Sound = "Tick"+vol+".wav";
*******************************
NOW

its

like in a dealing room in the good old day .....

with all the forex broker shouting ....

normally with mt4
PC is slowed down in the middle of speech pricing and trade execution could take second place

BUT with this smart code from ROOICOL
we use a small fast sound file

bip
i made
"mine yours taken given" and it ok with mt4 and fast


before internet/screen trading the "average/bad" trader could survive only by listening to the "music" of price and get the " feeling of the trend"

mine yours taken given are good i think ?

lets work on

1/sound files(text speed )
2/decimal move to sound
3/open to last price move & related sound ?
3/add more data in the sound (volume/tickdata/ ? )

i would like to add 2 sounds

1/on close of candel

if body of candel (open-close) is > ATR of X period
then
sound A

2/live one

if volume of that candel > average volume for x period
then
sound B

3/ idea is to use taken & given = +6 or -6 n up

given+yours
taken+mine

how can we spot that ????

thanks for help
