Need a Desktop Alarm That Goes Off in Set Intervals

Recommended Posts

Hey Brownsfan, Why not just use a simple stove top timer, u can buy at Marcs, Target, Wal Mart. Set it 15 minutes and every time it rings just reset the timer.

 

B/c that is WAY too much work. And requires precise precision.

 

Just like - why use charts and pay for that when you can draw your charts by hand...

FYI, if you're an Investor/RT or MarketDelta user, you can go to "Setup: Schedule" and create one or more schedules, that trigger at given intervals throughout the session (ever 30 minutes) or at specific times (10:30am and 1:00pm) and have the schedule trigger any sound (including custom .wav files that you produce) or various other actions (open specific chart, run a scan, etc). And you can create as many schedules as you wish.

Actually Chads post reminds me there is some Easy language code knocking around called wavetimer or bartimer or some such. It prints text next to the bar that counts down to bar end. You can set a 'trigger' where the coulour changes when you get particularly close to new bar time.

 

Might be of interest to you as it should work with OEC. It is pretty rudimentary but if it is of interest I'll dig it out.

Hi brownsfan, i needed the same thing as you and have just spent the last 15 minutes reading this thread. Could you please tell us what program you ended up using as it would be a great help and i was really looking to finding out. Instead i was disappointed when you just mentioned that you had found what you needed but didn't explain what it was. Thanks for your time.

hi kcomplex, see post #21,

 

I downloaded the zip file and installed the program, it has been working for me pretty well.

 

You need to unzip it and run the .exe file to install.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

you can try this ..... I just put together a simple program in basic. Right click on the face to change some of the things. There is no save feature, and it will only sound 2min before the 15min period. I just put together these things in whatever timeframe I want. Hopefully, I have uploaded the file correctly.

Trouble with a lot of the clocks I looked at (some while ago) is many where pretty bloated for what they do. I had a quite nice one (that I think I posted earlier) that has the digits on a transparent background so you can put it on top of your charts and still see through. Mouse over temporarily hides it completely.

 

phlsti's zip looks compact.

Here is a useful alarm. It is simple but you

can set multiple alarms. Limited as it is in 15 minute increments .

 

The great thing about this alarm is it can launch an app at the set alarm time.

Possibly Bloomberg Economic calender every 9am or maybe charting platform.

I tested it just now with an OEC demo account and it launched it on the test alarm.

Looks like it can be very handy for launching apps.

 

It can be found here. . .

    • Date: 25th April 2024. Investors Monitor a Potential Japanese Intervention, and upcoming Tech Earnings. Meta stocks top earnings expectations, but revenue guidance for the next 6 months triggers significant selloff. Meta stocks decline 15.00% and the Magnificent Seven also trade lower. Japanese Authorities are on watch and most market experts predict the Japanese Federal Government will intervene once again. The Japanese Yen is the day’s worst performing currency while the Australian Dollar continues to top the charts. The US Dollar trades 0.10% lower, but this afternoon’s performance is likely to be dependent on the US GDP. USA100 – Meta Stocks Fall 15% On the Next 6-Months Guidance The NASDAQ has declined 1.51% over the past 24 hours, unable to maintain momentum from Monday and Tuesday. Technical analysts advise the decline is partially simply a break in the bullish momentum and the asset continues to follow a bullish correction pattern. However, if the decline continues throughout the day, the retracement scenario becomes a lesser possibility. In terms of indications and technical analysis, most oscillators, and momentum-based signals point to a downward price movement. The USA100 trades below the 75-Bar EMA, below the VWAP and the RSI hovers above 40.00. All these factors point towards a bearish trend. The bearish signals are also likely to strengthen if the price declines below $17,295.11. The stock which is experiencing considerably large volatility is Meta which has fallen more than 15.00%. The past quarter’s earnings beat expectations and according to economists, remain stable and strong. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.10% and revenue was as expected. However, company expenses significantly rose in the past quarter and the guidance for the second half of the year is lower than previous expectations. These two factors have caused investors to consider selling their shares and cashing in their profits. Meta’s decline is one of the main causes for the USA100’s bearish trend. CFRA Senior Analyst, Angelo Zino, advises the selloff may be a slight over reaction based on earnings data. If Meta stocks rise again, investors can start to evaluate a possible upward correction. However, a concern for investors is that more and more companies are indicating caution for the second half of the year. The price movements will largely now depend on Microsoft and Alphabet earnings tonight after market close. Microsoft is the most influential stock for the NASDAQ and Alphabet is the third. The two make up 14.25% of the overall index. If the two companies also witness their stocks decline after the earnings reports, the USA100 may struggle to gain upward momentum. EURJPY – Will Japan Intervene Again? In the currency market, the Japanese Yen remains within the spotlight as investors believe the Japanese Federal Government is likely to again intervene. The Federal Government has previously intervened in the past 12 months which caused a sharp rise in the Yen before again declining. The government opted for this option in an attempt to hinder a further decline. Volatility within the Japanese Yen will also depend on today’s US GDP reading and tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. However, investors will more importantly pay close attention to the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy. Investors will be keen to see if the central bank believes it is appropriate to again hike in 2024 as well as comment regarding inflation and the economy. In terms of technical analysis, breakout levels can be considered as areas where the exchange rate may retrace or correct. Breakout levels can be seen at 166.656 and 166.333. However, the only indicators pointing to a decline are the RSI and similar oscillators which advise the price is at risk of being “overbought”. Always trade with strict risk management.
