Sounds for Alerts

Recommended Posts

I use this free sound recorder from cnet downloads

 

Free Sound Recorder - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

 

It is great and very simple to use.

 

Play a track in the background on your computer, ipod, radio, anything, then play the voice at the same time and record the two together. You can place a mic in front of the speaker for simplicity and record the two sounds simultaneously.

 

note: if you place commas, spaces, or periods to the voice simulator you can slow words, or letters. Sometimes play with the spelling of the word and it actually sounds better. Example: ( I didnt try this one, just an example ) beecaws instead of because. This gives you the idea but you can make a word stand out better by this approach.

 

Play with the timing of the background and voice before you record. Then make some practice recordings till you get it down. Have fun with it.

This is the cheap and easy way of editing.

Greater detail you can run the background and voice into an mixer and give effects to the sounds and then edit them but that is a little more time involved and not really necessary.

you went wild... LOL... someone forgotten to lock the cage!

 

Yeah, I want it specific to each market so I know by the alert what chart needs pulled up. And the only way I can think of to do that is make a wav for each one.

 

I could assign a specific beep to each market and then train myself to know what beep corresponds to what market, but that seems like a lot of work. ;)

Did some testing on the OEC platform w/ my wav files. They work, but not exactly how I want them at this point. In the platform there is a repetitive or reminder feature on the alerts but those are not working the way I envisioned using them.

 

So I'll need to create 1 wav file that is long and repeats w/in itself vs. telling the platform to repeat the alert.

 

I need to do 2 things:

 

1) Make a long wav file where the voice is repeated along with some sounds added to it as tiki did.

2) If possible, make the voice sound louder. I am running this on a computer that I also run a music stream from and the voice was overpowered by the music. So I'll need to play with audacity to see if I can increase that volume and/or look at the sound card settings to see if there's anything I can adjust in there.

I was on audacity's site and looks like you can take 2 wav files and combine them into 1 if I was reading it right. From there I'll just need to add the voice wav file a couple times. We'll see... if anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears.

You can do that very easily in Audacity. If you download it, spend a little time to get familiar with it, and you'll be able to get exactly what you want.

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>>??

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.

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
