Re: [amibroker] Example code for using Say()

["Ton Sieverding" <ton.sieverding@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have three problems with this code Herman. My first problem is that it doesn't give me a Buy or Sell sound. So for me it does not work properly. Secondly, the variable Text will create an error in case there is no Buy or Sell because it has not been initialized. I would start the code with 'Text = "";'. And thirdly, why not keeping things simple ( KISS ) ?
As I told you, the following works fine :

if (LastValue(Buy)) Say("Buy"); 
if (LastValue(Sell)) Say("Sell"); 

I am probably not seeing the problems that you're seeing ...

Ton.

  Sorry, here's a small change to the code - I should have tested it before posting!

  if(LastValue(Buy))            Text ="  Buy, at, "+NumToStr(BuyPrice,1.2);

  else if(LastValue(Short))    Text ="Short, at, "+NumToStr(ShortPrice,1.2);;

  PrevText = StaticVarGetText("PrevText"); 

  if( StrLeft(Text,5) != StrLeft(PrevText,5) ) 

     { 

     Say( Text ); 

     StaticVarSetText("PrevText", text); 

     }

  just FYI I use this type of code in Real-time trading and it seems to wokr just fine:

  if(LastValue(Buy))            Text = "Buy, at, "+NumToStr(BuyPrice,1.2);

  else if(LastValue(Short))    Text ="Short, at, "+NumToStr(ShortPrice,1.2);;

  PrevText = StaticVarGetText("PrevText"); 

  if( Text != PrevText ) 

     { 

     Say( Text ); 

     StaticVarSetText("PrevText", text); 

     }

    Perhaps TJ can add a msg queue or a SayStatus() command so that we can do the queueing ourself. You may be able to prevent repeats (using Static variables) and prevent calling Say() to fast, you could insert an automatically minimum call interval, using GetPerformanceCounter() or getStatus("RedrawAction"), that is proportional to the number of characters in your message.

    best regards,
    herman

      I love the new Say(text) command in 4.89 Beta, but often the message is cut off (apparently by the next pass through the AFL code) before it can be completely "uttered". Has anyone else seen this problem and figured out how to "buffer" it? 

      Thanks,
      Dale
