DYO: Volume Alert

Question:

I'm trying to replicate the audio alert described here:   http://deltat1.com/DeltaT/indicators/specialty/pit_simulator.asp

It simply plays an audio alert every X contracts traded.  I believe that there are multiple ways to accomplish this, but which is the most efficient way?

Answer:

The form you showed will continuously beep once the bar volume exceeds 200, which is not the same as beeping once every 200.   Try this solution instead.

Question:

Thanks, Howard. That's almost what I had in mind.  Another way to approach it: how about a beep at the open of every bar in a 200-volume chart.  Possible?  I tried it using Bar Value  = Open + #,  and Bar Flag = First tick of new bar, and couldn't get it to work on a 200 vol chart.  Thanks.

Answer:

Beep once per bar is simple.  Just put an alert on the chart and check the box for Close Only and it will beep on first tick of new bar.
