To my understanding, MQL II did not have a way to sound an audible alert in an expert or custom indicator. Sure, you could have a popup window give you a message in MQL II, but what if you're out of the room?

MQL 4 needs to have have an audible alert function implemented by one of the following ways:

1- a new parameter within the existing alert function, to sound an audible alert, that is a .wav file.
2- a new and separate function for this purpose, that accesses a .wav file.

I realize you might already have an API function that will sound an alert; however, for a function as necessary and usable as an *audible* alert, you really need to make the function easy and convenient to access, rather than having to resort to an API call.

Terrific! I can't wait.

I'm wondering if there is some round-a-bout way to sound an alert in MQL2?
