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 Condition;

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.
