Anyone able to help me with how to use custom aleart sounds in ninjatrader?
I dont know a thing about coding but it 'seemed' obvious, although isn't working.

I saved a wav file with a sound i want to use. I saved it in c: ninjatrader/sounds as suggested by ninjatrader, and called it 'customesound1'
I then went into the code of the indicator and replaced 'alert1' that was already there with 'customsound1'
However, nothing has actually happened. It still plays the old sound/???
thanks

EDIT: Turned ninja off and then on again, and its working now

Does anyone know how i can have different audio's for different instruments but with effectively using the same indicator?
Basically I have an indicator, and ive finally ben able to add an audio alert, and then 'customized' that audio alert to say 'buy' or 'sel' (rather than the standard ninjatrdxer audios)
However, What i want is for it to be able to specify what instrument it is referring to.

Knowing nothing about programming etc, I went into the code, copied it, built a new indicator(by pasting in the code) and then changed the audio alert from 'buy' to 'buy cable'(already copied to my ninjatrader sound files), but got an error, I guess something to do with using the same code?? How do I get around it? I basically want 6 of the same indicators, but each one with a different audio alarm>>??

By using 'sound recorder' (System32\sndrec32.exe) it is easy to capture any sentences.

Attached few sounds that can be used.

Here's what I got so far for anyone interested:

x1 (original - low volume) - sound level taken directly from the website, word/symbol said 1 time
x1 (higher volume) - sound level turned up, said 1 time
x2 (higher volume) - sound level turned up, said 2 times

I was thinking of adding some sounds and stuff to them but I think that will just get in the way for what I need. I need these to go off, get my attention and tell me what market to be looking at. I also need them to fire off fairly quickly b/c it's very possible for multiple alerts to go off simultaneously.

Each zip file has 26 files, which are used on the markets that I trade. Some are symbols, some are the actual words. I'm happy w/ all them except oil. I could not figure out a way to craft the word oil in a way that sounded more natural. If anyone can come up with a better way to phonetically spell oil, please let me know.

any luck with this ?

did you try . . .

oyyell
oy yell
oiyell
oi yel
oyyull

tried different things out. sounds ok on some. adding spaces or comma can help change a word.

you can always go with Crude. hahah

attached one sample. needs a filter, but the idea of using a comma or space controls her voice. this was an old sample and oil is not in this.
