Time running out alert

Hi,
The new feature in v6.4 whereby you can set the time to scheduled start to flash/blink at x minutes to the "off" is a good idea BUT it's only useful if you're sitting in front of your computer and viewing the prices/amounts for THAT particular race.

If you're looking at another race you WILL NOT see the time flashing in a race that's about to start.

If you have left your computer for whatever reason (to get a cup of coffee, use the toilet, answer the phone), you WILL NOT see the time flashing in a race that's about to start.

...BUT you can STILL HEAR IT if you're nearby!

So, how about having MFPro play a sound (of users own choice?) when the time to scheduled start is < x minutes ...SIMILAR to the way you can have MFPro play a sound when the race actually goes in-play.

OT

Good idea. Thank you!

Hi,
in general a "beep" trigger action is quite useful with the option to play specific sound.

Surfing between markets is not fun!

Apart from trigger betting, MFP has the ability to enable manual trading in much the same way as most other currently available software. I would like to see customisable audio alerts ( ability to use own wav files ) for the following events :

Market suspended ( particularly useful in soccer games )

Countdown timer to the off with variable time selections e.g. 5 minutes, 2 minutes, 30 seconds to the off.

These allow for close control of bets without needing to look at the computer all the time.

I think a trigger action to play custom sound would be most elegant.
Thank you for the suggestions.
