Need a Desktop Alarm That Goes Off in Set Intervals

I am looking for a desktop software that will set off an alarm every XX minutes and every XX minutes. I found one on Woodie's site but it does not seem to always want to go off.

I just need something to grab my attention based on the interval I set it at. Seems simple enough, but not finding much via google. I thought with our tech guys here, maybe one could just build something, or maybe someone can provide a link to one they recommend.

I just need something that grabs my attention and goes off every single interval setting w/o a hitch.

A couple of those might work, so thanks Mr Ed!

I also found this one http://www.hiclock.com/
Not exactly as I wanted b/c you have to manually enter in every alarm you want, but once it's in there, they are stored. Just not as convenient.

I'll report back if any of those work for me.

I am sure you have considered a simple timer indicator with alerts on your charts - you never know- some traders are so anti-indicator, they don't even want to use a clock
If this is a general purpose timer for Windows that you are looking for, this one called ClockWise seems to be good, you can sync the PC clock to NTP server and it has calender and stopwatch functions as well.

Still looking guys. I am scouring for some freeware as I have to believe this is available somewhere for free. If not, the $20 is not a big deal for one of the programs but many to choose from!

Simon - yes, I just need something that goes off every 15 minutes. Catch is that it needs to be set to a 15 min interval at a different time than the top of the hour. In other words, need the alarm to trigger at 10:13, 10:28, 10:43, 10:58, etc. etc. from 8am - 4:15pm.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks Simon!

There is a good example here - http://www.woodiescciclub.com/start.htm

Now, you have to scroll down past a ton of crap everywhere (nice site...) and about half way down there is a trading tools section. The Woodies Chart Clock is perfect... except the alerts work when they feel like it. But it gives you an idea in case I wasn't clear.

Re: Need a Desktop Alarm That Goes Off in Set Intervals

brownsfan019,

I am in the middle of programming a timer for myself, so I will put the additional features into it. I will finish the timer application after I release the final version of the Freeware calendar application that I released a few days ago.

I will make the timer program available only to the Premium members of this forum.

Regards

Simon
