Thanks a bunch in advance...and a happy new year dam it!

Happy New Year!
I can't help you on other charting software, but I do know about the Cowabunga indicator.
In the indicator file (Cowabunga- any pair.mq4) there is a line that says:
PlaySound("alert.wav");
Alert.wav is nothing more than a ding, but whenever the arrow appears, it does sound the ding.
I found that useless myself, so I downloaded several .wav files that say "Cowabunga Dude" to use. One is spoken by Bart Simpson, one is spoken by the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, and the other is unknown to me. But I edited them all together, into a single .wav file. I made a shorter one and a longer one, and they are in a .zip file attached to this post.
Download the attached file. Rename either one of the .wav files inside to be cowabunga.wav and drop into the \sounds subdirectory of your InterBank parent directory.
Open the .mq4 indicator file (using MetaEditor.exe in the InterBank parent directory), go down and change the name of the .wav file so it reads:
PlaySound("cowabunga.wav");
Then when the arrow lites up, it will call out "Cowabunga Dude" at you . . .
Hopefully helpful.
