Alert

Henry,

If you have the automation set to have the information provided for by the broker.
And
You select an audio file for trading info "order filled" etc. in the automation tab.

When chart conditions meet the order, it says order filled.

It would be helpful, if when one selects updates on the charts to come from the broker or Sync with broker, the sound file would play when the broker fills it.

Thank you,
Don

Hello Don,

If you are referring to the Audio Alert option of the Format tab->Strategy properties->Auto trading tab then this alert is triggered when the order generated by the strategy receives the final status Cancel, Reject or Filed. You can check the statuses of the orders in Order and Position tracker->Orders tab.

That is possible to check the order status in the OPT Orders tab or market position change, current contracts change from the code to generate the alert only when there is an actual fill. You need to implement such alert logic in your code and enable alerts in Format tab->Strategy properties->Alerts.

Speaking of alerts in MC .NET, I just made a feature request relating to alerts:

[MC .NET] Make Alerts tab of OPT accessible.

Should this also interest you, add your vote to it.
