Indicator that makes a sound at close of candle

Hey guys, looking for an indicator that plays a sound at the close of candle. When I'm trading I'm often doing other things as well and this would be a handy tool to remind me to look back at the charts!

Cheers,

You have also the option to use the MT4 platform feature directly. Go to the "alert" tab in the terminal and set the time of your alerts.

Of course if you plan to be alerted each 5 minutes, an indicator would be a better idea as you will need some time to set all your alerts !

Couldn't you just set repeating alarms on your watch, clock, phone, tablet etc - or am I missing something?

Exactly! That's exactly what I am doing (phone).

Put this in OnCalculate() of existing indicator:

Inserted Code
   static datetime LastBar=0;
   if(Time[0]!=LastBar)
      {
       PlaySound("tick.wav");
       LastBar=Time[0];
      }
Or standalone indicator attached below

I'm using an Android app called Hourly Chime Pro by Caynax (there is a free version). Extremely configurable.

You can set it to fire off a chime at virtually any time frequency you can think of down to the minute. e.g. you can set it to chime at (for example) every 13th (or any odd non-standard) minute past every hour (or few hours).

I use it to chime a certain sound every 15minutes- and 45minutes- past every hour, and to chime another sound every 00minutes and 30minutes past every hour... all between 0600-1200 hrs local time, from Monday to Friday.

I also use it to fire off a certain sound every 4 hours thereafter to coincide with the creation of any new H4 candle.

Hope this is useful to someone out there.

Cheers!
