PlaySound MT4 Delay

[Daniel Costa]

I have an indicator that plays a sound when price passes a level (horizontal line) , The problem is there is no delay is sounding the alert (wav file) .. I do i put a delay in to do this in the code?

1. You want “a sound when price passes a level.” Why would you want a delay?

2. You do know that Right-Click → Trading → Alert does exactly that?

The reason for the delay is that it sounds constantly in succession which can be quite irritating if you can disable it straight away, like a 10 sec delay or something between the alertswould be great
