This custom study can be used to produce an audible alert when the market data feed delay exceeds your desired threshold (in seconds). The purpose of this study is to be as annoying as possible when it detects a disruption in your data feed, so that you get off Instagram and actually do something about it. Ideally, you'd configure it with an audio file of a short duration, because the study keeps firing alerts until the data feed delay goes below the configured threshold. In practice, once you react to the alert you don't really need it since you'd be working the problem. So you can right-click on the chart and select "Snooze data feed delay alert" to shut it up for a while. Also, you can right-click in the chart and select "Test data feed delay alert" to make sure the alert fires correctly and that you can hear it; There's no point in having an audible alert if your speakers are turned off. One caveat with this study, is that the chart's time zone must match your computer's time zone. This is an open-source study which you can download from GitHub at: https://github.com/emmanuelrosa/foss-sierrachart-studies/blob/master/src/DataFeedDelay.cpp For instructions on how to compile the study, see How to Build an Advanced Custom Study from Source Code: Step-By-Step Instructions To configure the study, first go to Settings->General Settings->Alerts. Then, follow the instructions shown here: https://github.com/emmanuelrosa/foss-sierrachart-studies/blob/master/img/DataFeedDelay.png For instructions on how to add a custom study to your chart, see How to Use an Advanced Custom Study or a Study Collection: How to Use an Advanced Custom Study Provided To You |
