FXCodeBase.COM: Forex Chart Indicators and Development

The indicator was revised and updated.

Hi Apprentice, would it be possible to add a sound alert to this indicator?

Your request is added to the development list.
Development reference 1539.

Hammer Hanging Man Patterns with ATR Filter and Alert.lua added.

Hi Apprentice, thank so much for your rapid response to my request. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get the alert to sound consistently. I'm trialing it on a 1 minute chart to get more instances. The arrow is working, but the alert only sounds at some of the arrows, more often not sounding. I've attached a file with the settings I am using.

Further to my earlier post, I am realising that on the rare occasions that I do get an alert sound, it is not immediately after the candle has formed ... there is a delay. I thought this information might help to diagnose the problem.

I have re-write my Alert template.

Prior to any development, can you test it and provide suggestions on how we can improve it.

I have tested the new alert template and it is working reliably.

My only suggestion for improvement is that it has a few variables that aren't necessary for my needs and I wonder whether this adds unnecessary complexity that increases the chance of problems when the alert is applied to other indicators. For example:
1. I have no need for the execution timer as I would always set this to zero as I always want to hear the alert immediately the pattern has completed. I would be surprised if other traders would want the timer set to anything other than zero either.
2. I have no need for the "convert date" variable. I would always want the date to match the displayed time that I have selected for my charts. Similarly, I doubt that other traders would select the other options either.

I hope these suggestions are helpful.

I have tested over a longer period there have been some glitches. I sometimes get a second arrow and second sound alert the bar after (please see attached snip).
