I know that we are dealing with a LOT of Alerts. In view of that, I can say this:
1. John (skinner36) is working on a 'Custom Alert' function, to be called from an external DLL. His Custom Alert function would popup a customizable window with everything you'd ever wish. He is a very good C++ and C# programmer and believes that he will be able to link this library to the other Empty4 windows.
2. We can switch Alerts off ... or reduce the number of Alerts by only switching some on.
3. I can make a code change, such that it won't spit out a gazillion of Alerts when it first starts up. That will make a change already.
4. In the mean time, whilst waiting for John's library, I can write these alerts to a TEXT file that you need to open in an external application (and need to refresh from time-to-time). (On linux you would do a tail -f on the file to always get the last n lines)
Let me know what you think.
1. Sounds awesome. From what I've seen c++ can do with custom windows I think we might be in for a treat.
2. I've cut range trade alerts alerts which helped a little. Will probably cut RADs too then just re-enable them when I'm in a trade for stacking reasons. Maybe tf1alert=true, tf2alert=false etc could help but could be more work than what is necessary considering 1.
3. I'm not sure what things you are suggesting so can't really comment on that haha
4. A text file could be handy though this would depend on if the file would need to be saved/closed/opened or if a simple ctrl+r would suffice. It would deffinately increase the display range over the current alert pop-up though.
But like Jason said, enjoy the silly season. It's not like we can really trade for the next couple of weeks anyway.
