HELP asked for heikin ashi with sound
It looks like it will try to play a sound on every tick during the current bar when the specified condition of the prior bars is true.
Thanks for your reply.
That is correct, but that is OK, so I get a number of warnings.
BUT, it also plays irregular, any of the 2 sounds when the specified condition is NOT true.
Like just now it plays the Buy sound, with bar 0 is white and the previous 2 bars are also white.
I also note, when it plays the correct buy sound after the correct buy condition, on the next bar it will play the sell sound while it keeps having the same colored bar and visa versa.
On the other hand some times it works correctlya number of times. Very strange???
Any other suggestion?
Thanks,
Sylvano

Just to let you know that I changed the indicator so that it is started only once with a new bar.
But I still have the same problem...

I use the basic heikin ashi functuion.
I try to make a buy sound when the candles 1 and 2 are of a different color.
This seems to work fine now and then, but some times I just get sounds without the proper condition.
What am I not doing right?
Thanks for helping....
This is the code (just added the lines with the playSound command)
