archive NinjaBots - Order Flow Audio Alerts Popular

Modified on 10 February 2019

A key part of trading by deploying bots aka Sceetos (Self-Contained-Electronic-Exchange-Trading-Orbs) is using auido alerts, based on specific order flow events, which give the trader a 'head's up' that the time may be ripe to deploy a bot.

The following graphic explains this workflow:

The following order flow indicators have embedded audio alert capabilities:

• Book Pressure
• Sweep
• Tape Meter's 2 Standard Deviation Tick Ratio

When configuring these audio alerts you must place the full path file and file name into the indicators properties' "Alert File" field, for instance:

Book Pressure
C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 8\sounds\ES Order Book Pressure.wav

For Book Pressure, you must set a minimum threshold.  This is best done by eyeballing Book Pressure spikes on the chart that you are trading and using a value that would include the spikes but not heavy pressure.

 

Sweep
C:/Program Files (x86)/NinjaTrader 8/sounds/ES Sweep.wav

For Sweep, you must set a minimum threshold. This is best done by eyeballing Book Pressure spikes on the chart that you are trading and using a value that would include the spikes but not heavy pressure.

Tape Meter - 2 Standard Deviation Tick Ratio

Order Flow .WAV files have been created for ES, CL, GC, NQ.

You can copy the text in this table below in bold and enter it into your indicator's alert parameter field:

If you would like to make your own custom .WAV files you can use the following 2 sites to make custom audio alerts for Sierra Chart and SceetoBots.

The first site uses IBM's Watson to create audio files using a text to speach engine.  Once you type in your text, you can download a .mp3 file.

The second site converts the mp3 file that you created into a .wav file.
