I'm using this indicator that's from my Woodie adventure a long time ago. Formerly it was used to predict range bars (works on minutes and tick bars as well) , and to show the woodies cci. Me myself I am using it in order to get a fast observation of the previous bar high, low and close + the current bar low, high and current price. It is very useful for price action observation. It also has a timer included in it. It looks like this:
The problem I have with it is that I want to use the timer alert (sound), and it's simply not working right. For i.e. I want it to alert me on, let's say 200 seconds. It does sound on the 200 sec, but it also sounds 10 seconds later again, and after that 60 seconds later again, and then again. It sounds about 6 times.
Unfortunately I lack programing skills, so if someone could be so kind and solve the issue I'd be forever grateful. There may also be other that could benefit from this indicator as well.

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
hey george,
as i remeber this thing, it works like this :
- its depending on your chart-timeframe
- it has 2 alert steps :
1 far away + 1 nearer - both related to the end of your time-periode of the chart.
so if you use a 5 min chart, you can not let the timer play a sound every 200 seconds.
you can let it play 50 seconds + 5 seconds before the end of the current candle iE
thats out of the brain now - i used it long time ago - have a look at it in this direction.
this essentially means the timer ticks every seconds. if you want to tick it every 5 seconds it should be 5000 and if every 200 seconds it should be set at 200000.
edit: the timer basically refreshes the chart every one sec. so you cant change the timer interval. you have to make changes in the SoundTimerAlert method.
Thanks a lot for the answers. The one I'm using is a version that Sam modified for me in order to make it work with NT7. Does yours work with NT7?
Further, if I set it as you're mentioning yes then it works, but it works strange. For i.e., if I put it on a 5 min chart with the setting of 200 on the second timer (AlertTimerLast) then what it does is the following.
It sounds on 200 sec remaining, but then it sounds again at:
180
120 and
60
If I put it on 70 sec then it sounds at:
70 and
60
I've tested it from 65 - 62 (each value separatly, with the same result) . It then sounds at:
65 and
60
64 and
60
63 and
60
62 and
60
If I put it on 61 then it sounds on:
60 and
nothing else
From 60 and below it sounds at that value, and nothing else!
It has to be the code I believe.

Thank your for your answer. Unfortunately I lack the skills that could make me help myself further with your indications.
So if you wish and are able to, would you please explain a little bit more and maybe give some more instructions on how to make that change!
Thank you in advance.

i think look for "TimeLeft" - its an own little free app - outside of NT
that does more what you need i think.
it plays sound or opens a popup or whatever every "time-period you want"
Max,
Thanks for the idea! Greatly appreciated!
