You can try:
Say("Buy "+NumToStr(100,1.0)+" Shares of "+Name());
or
Say("Buy "+NumToStr(100,1.0)+" Shares of "+"Apple");
of course you may have to add earlier discussed code to prevent repetition.

Anyone know how to get it to say the stock symbol name also. Instead of
Say ("Buy") I like it to Say ("Buy" GOOG);.

I have three problems with this code Herman. My first problem is that it
doesn't give me a Buy or Sell sound. So for me it does not work properly.
Secondly, the variable Text will create an error in case there is no Buy or
Sell because it has not been initialized. I would start the code with 'Text
= "";'. And thirdly, why not keeping things simple ( KISS ) ?
As I told you, the following works fine :
if (LastValue(Buy)) Say("Buy");
if (LastValue(Sell)) Say("Sell");
I am probably not seeing the problems that you're seeing ...
Ton.

Sorry, here's a small change to the code - I should have tested it
before posting!
if(LastValue(Buy)) Text =" Buy, at,
"+NumToStr(BuyPrice,1.2);
else if(LastValue(Short)) Text ="Short, at,
"+NumToStr(ShortPrice,1.2);;
PrevText = StaticVarGetText("PrevText");
if( StrLeft(Text,5) != StrLeft(PrevText,5) )
{
Say( Text );
StaticVarSetText("PrevText", text);
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
just FYI I use this type of code in Real-time trading and it seems to
wokr just fine:
if(LastValue(Buy)) Text = "Buy, at, "+NumToStr(BuyPrice,1.2);
else if(LastValue(Short)) Text ="Short, at,
"+NumToStr(ShortPrice,1.2);;
PrevText = StaticVarGetText("PrevText");
if( Text != PrevText )
{
Say( Text );
StaticVarSetText("PrevText", text);
}

Perhaps TJ can add a msg queue or a SayStatus() command so that we can
do the queueing ourself. You may be able to prevent repeats (using Static
variables) and prevent calling Say() to fast, you could insert an
automatically minimum call interval, using GetPerformanceCounter() or
getStatus("RedrawAction"), that is proportional to the number of characters
in your message.
best regards,
herman

I love the new Say(text) command in 4.89 Beta, but often the message
is cut off (apparently by the next pass through the AFL code) before it can
be completely "uttered". Has anyone else seen this problem and figured out
how to "buffer" it?
Thanks,
Dale
