I'd like to make my own tape tweet. I really like tapetweet.com but I have several reasons for making my own:

- they don't have it for the markets I trade
- I want something visual too
- I'd like to see it historically if possible

I'm curious how they're doing it. I've been trying to figure it out but not having much luck. If anyone has any ideas please share.

cunparis,
What platform are you on?
Are you asking how they play the 'tweets'? or
Are you asking what their logic is for popping, etc.?

Ninja & tradestation.

I'm asking about the popping/cricket sounds. Curious what they're based on.

Again - are you asking how to make the sounds or the logic they are using to trigger them?

If you're asking how to make the sounds - dll's and wavefile templates are available in TS forum

If you're asking about the logic -
My impressions of it (and it's been a while since I was on ) is it's simply a directional and lagging* 'pace of tape'

(*the lagging could be from iLatency or from a higher threshold filter... never found out)

Best way to see it 'historically' would be to ADE it...

... I have some (slightly more complex) ideas re one of these. However, to implement one, I would almost certainly have to get programmer involved - so can't participate in an 'open' project. If you (and / or a couple others who are into EL development) want to make a project of this, PM me...

sorry it wasn't clear, i'm talking about the logic to determine when to send the alert. The sound I can do.

I am comparing it to my pace of tape indicator and it seems to be different so I'm curious. I don't need to make mine exactly the same I'm just looking for ideas that I can try.

I'm a programmer so if you have good ideas I don't mind programming them. I don't mind keeping it private.

Interesting. First time I've come across this tape tweet site. It seems familiar to Ensign Windows setting 'Beeb on Each Tick' - which, after comparing the two seems to be faster than the web site - but that could just be the internet I guess?....

TapeTweet doesn't beep on each tick. It starts beeping where there is movement. There is a criteria for it, I'm not sure what it is. I like it cause if I'm reading or surfing the web and I hear it then I know to glance over at my charts.

cunparis, i only watched it the last minutes on ES,
but couldnt it be easy something like this on a 1 minute chart

input : ESsize (20);
if high >= highest (high,3) and tradesize at ask>=ESsize then beep/alert
if low<= lowest(low,3) and tradesize at bid>=ESsize then beep/alert
?

i am sure that htey dont use a complicated tick/volume chart.
