I thought it beeps when price is higher than previous bar's high...

try it with a small size CVB chart (say, 2000 crt)... you will see/hear it.

Tams, that was not my impression of it - however they may have changed it since I was last on.
Will check it out...

cunparis, et al
Let's put together and publish a generic template for one of these in EL first. Then from that foundation, we all can develop and or collaborate.

Find attached picture of what may (or may not) be a facsimile of ...tweet.ocm logic
It is based on very simple O C algo that can be used anywhere (even fx)
I'm quite sure this is more crude than what they are doing but it is more likely to start sounds when they do than PaceOfTape (in haste and error I likened tweet to PaceOfTape yesterday - wrong)
This way may actually be way off and totally bogus ... it’s just a guess at the simplest generic solution (ie different from the ideas discussed yesterday) so at least we'd have a functional template going...

'noises' start outside the lines and intensify with bar height... it's not letting me post attachments right now ?? so will post picture later

Cunparis, are you using OctalSound20.dll. a PlaySound Replacement DLL
"...tradestation’s PlaySound has a small performance issue. Each time a sound is played it reads the sound from your hard drive and plays the sound. So we wrote a DLL which would load a sound into memory from the hard drive once and play the sound from memory each time requested thus saving lots of hard drive reads over a day. "
