RSI Sound Alert Loop -- need it to stop after 'x' times

New comment

Hi!

Thanks for your help. I know this is probably super simple but I'm stumped.

I would like to modify the RSI Sound Alert with loop below to add a counter, whereby after 'x' times the alert will stop. I would like the 'x' to be a user input. I took a stab at it but am getting an error ("i" variable already defined).

I added:

extern int Count = 50;

and

for(int i=Count();i>=0;i--)

Could you please help me to modify my code?

Thank you kindly,

extern bool UseSound = True;
extern int rsiPeriod = 14;
extern int OverBought = 70;
extern int OverSold = 30;
double RSI;
double Condition;

Condition = 0;

if (RSI>=OverBought)Condition = 1;
if (RSI<=OverSold)Condition = -1;
if (Condition == 1)
{
if (UseSound == true)Alert (Symbol()+ " RSI Over Bought @ "+RSI);
if (UseSound == true)PlaySound ("Alert2.wav");
}
if (Condition == -1)

if (UseSound == true)Alert (Symbol()+ " RSI Over Sold @ "+RSI);
if (UseSound == true)PlaySound ("Alert2.wav");

Added the User_Notified to prevent this giving you a constant warning. This way it should only give the warning(50 times!!) once when the condition changes.
