Hi. I am looking for a horizontal line audible alert that I can put in an indicator window, not on a price chart. Does anyone have one to share. Hard to find.

Hi,
The reason why it is hard to find what you are looking for is that unlike an Alert level on the main chart which uses price as the trigger you would be using the indicator line / histo as the trigger and of course each indicator would have a different value, so I am guessing each Alert line would have to be coded to each individual indicator.

In code, you insert levels using this:

Inserted Code
double val = 12345; //write value you want here
if (val == 12345) PlaySound("alert.wav");
SetLevelValue(0,val);
SetLevelStyle(0,1,White);

In code, you insert levels using this:

Inserted Code
double val = 12345; //write value you want here
if ([b][size=4]val == 12345[/size][/b]) PlaySound("alert.wav");
SetLevelValue(0,val);
SetLevelStyle(0,1,White);
Rarely a price/indicator value is perfectly at a defined value. So the alert will be rare.

An alert must be defined by a touch or cross from below to above or vice versa depending of the direction you want to be alerted.

Example for an UP alert on current candle:
Inserted Code
if(val[1] < alert_level && val[0] >= alert_level) PlaySound("alert.wav");
