The "Alert on New Bar" option does not play the alert sound on every new bar when the bars are being created very fast. I tested this using playback, and when I slow playback down to 0.1 speed, it then plays the alert sound for every bar, but at normal speed when the bars are being created very fast, it does not. I am using a very small alert .wav file which is 525 bytes and plays a very short beep. Thank you. |

Yes, what you describe does make sense. The study is not meant to necessarily Play an alert on every single new bar. If this does not meet your requirements, please create your own custom study that does. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

I had already looked at the code for the CountDown Timer study, and it doesn't seem to be doing anything special as far as playing the sounds. Any programming I would do would basically replicate exactly what the CountDown Timer study code is already doing. Basically, the way it is programmed sc.PlaySound is called to play the sound for every new bar. The problem seems to be that Sierra Chart is not informing the CountDown Timer study of the other bars in a fast market. I'm not sure if my understanding is correct or not. Please correct me if I am wrong. If you know of a way that I can successfully program this, please let me know and I will do so. Thank you. |

We were hoping to avoid this, but it is easiest for us just add support for this rather than explaining it. We will do that. Use the new Input to be added at your own risk.

I have found that if I reduce the "Chart Update Interval" to 100 milliseconds, this problem is resolved and a sound is played after every bar.
