Question Tradestation alerts

In John Carter's book, "Mastering the Trade", he mentions that he set up audible alerts when the $TICK went over +1000 or under -1000. I can't figure out how he did that. Any TS wonks out that can help?

Re: Tradestation alerts

Draw a horizontal line on your chart. Double click the line to bring up the formatting. Left tab "Alerts" enable alert for whatever you want. The rest is pretty much straight forward.

Re: Tradestation alerts

Here is a site I use to get all my audio alerts: AT&T Labs Text-to-Speech: Demo

I have audio for program buy/sell, extreme TICK readings, 0.6 and 1.0 on the PC ration, etc...

You also can record your own .wav files by using your accessories recorder function with a mic. Save the wav files, and access them via the alert fucition within TS. Browse to the location in which you save the recordings...and you have your own voice sounds. And/or...record sounds, music clips...anything you wish to have as the alert sounds. Cool.

I just tried to do this by adding a wav file callded "Tick -800" to the following folder

CProgram Files (x86)\tradestation 8.7 (Build 3085)\Program

however I cannot seem to then access that new audio in the dropdown alert menu in tradestation. I tried changing the name of a current selection, finalbell, calling it finalbell1 and this also caused me not to be able to see the selection in the dropdown. So it seems that somewhere there is a master list of what audio files are viewable by the program, and that just dropping a new file in there is not allowing realtime updates to what is available for use.

Any ideas? I tried exiting and restarting tradestation but still I cannot see the new file.
