Hi, this is code but It could be a general problem so it's not "programming help". On my ACSIL code I have: bool BarHasClosed = sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus(sc.Index) != BHCS_BAR_HAS_NOT_CLOSED; if (BarHasClosed) { sc.PlaySound(30, "test alert message"); } Any time I load chart or modify it, that alert will trigger 24 times. I see no reason for this. What is the cause? Then, it will trigger properly upon BarHasClosed. The problem is really upon initial load or modification. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-12-11 10:02:59

Problem doesn't come from alert itself, but from BarHasClosed that is run multiple times upon any chart modification such as adding or removing study. Is there a reliable way to force alert to run only once per bar, when triggered from ASCIL sc.PlaySound? On Global Settings >> General Settings >> Alerts where I can set alert trigger parameters, I don't find way to enforce this. The "Number of Times to Play this alert" seems not respected. It would be good in this alert setting screen if we can have the traditional alert options, such as "run once per bar" Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-12-12 16:02:43

Try using SetAlert instead - sc.SetAlert() or maybe replace if (BarHasClosed) { sc.PlaySound(30, "test alert message"); } with if (BarHasClosed && !sc.IsFullRecalculation) { sc.PlaySound(30, "test alert message"); } |

Yes you will not want to use sc.PlaySound. You are playing a sound for every chart bar except the last one.
