Hi, is it possible to play a sound every time the market ticks up or down? Basically a ticker tape to get an audio feel for the market, the best applied on NYSE TICK. Is there any SC function for that pls? Thank you Jiri |

No offence - this is the funniest functionality request I ever heard. Imagine the sound, though you definitely need to line up a few CPU cores, at market open. Lets say uptick plays 'Oooh' and Down tick plays 'Uhhh'. Then all you can hear, at the fast pace of tick movement after it's open is, 'hhhhhhhhhhhhh', if you can. This can work if you trade Oats at night where you might hear 'Ohhh' or 'Uhhh' once a night, which is romantic. We develope technical analysis tools because tick and chart data is too wayward. Hearing the ticks adds just another layer of complexity. -Venu Yedlapalli |

It's actually a very valid request that has been brought up here over the years, as well as being a built-in feature in other software. Its basically a way of using senses other then vision to gain a feel for the flow of the market. I've used it before, but don't now. As far as I know, as well as basing it on what sierra support has said in the past, this feature comes down to how the program plays alerts, and sierra plays all alerts that trigger. Playing an alert with every tick will cause the alerts to be cued, and backup. They won't coincide with the trade when there is a heavy flow of trades. The program I used handled this differently, and when there was a heavy flow of trades the sound would distort. Some alerts in this situation are skipped/missed, but in this situation it doesn't matter.

Agreed, everyone had their own style. I'm rather a KISS type guy, I like it simple. But still what a can't perceive is, one's ability sift through sound singles that gets generated at such fast and distorted pace, and what value it'd even provide in comparison to slew of technicals that show correlation and trend among the high pitched tick data. i'd rather go for a wave file that plays along, say, MACD. (hey, idea! this can be a development pod for composing quartets). |
