Simple Indicator that alerts with every new bar

[NinjaTrader_Brett]

Hello,

Can you please post your full! code so that I may check it and run it on my side. If your able to send a test message our you should also be able to send out the email through NinjaScript though at this point.

Thank You.

I think I figured out what was wrong ... I had the } in the wrong place. After editing the code I put the } before the "properties" line generated by the wizard.

It seems to be working now.

Hi,

I could not get the test mail working with my ISP's standard smtp server. Also not with the gmail or yahoo accounts. Coded my own mail-sending function. But would be easier if NT's own function worked well.

Hello,

What specific error did you get with the default NT email with the google setup? Can I get the output of the trace file when you attempt to send the email.

My Documents->NinjaTrader 7->trace->todays date.txt and the exception message when you attempt to send mail.

I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi,

The weird thing is that there is no execption in the trace file.
When I use the "Test" function NT slows down for a while and gives error about failed to send. But no entries in trace-file on either of the 2 PC's I tried it on.

Hello,

And what specific error do you get again.

Its like this

Also in the logs, but not trace-file

Hello,

Can you please try one more with these google settings.

For NinjaTrader replace with your own username and password. make sure to not put in @gmail.com at the end in the username.

I look forward to assisting you further.

[NinjaTrader_Brett]

also, make sure you set these settings and then click ok. THen go back in to teest to see if the email is set. You must click ok for the settings to go into place before testing email send.

Hi,

The problem was with the OK and then going once more to options and then clicking test. Got it to work also with my local ISP now.
Thank you for your patience and help!

[NinjaTrader_Brett]

Excellent glad to hear!

The test button is possibly not most intuitionally placed, in web-forms u usually test first and then save, but technically the email app works good.

New Bar sound Alert

Hi
I have been searching for a script that will alert a sound each time new bar being created.
I gave up for looking one, and this thread inspired me to write one, though it is a simple one but I am going to post it below so others who searches one will find one.
It doesn't send an email but this thread answers for a need to that.
The alert is for %AUDUSD and $EURUSD, it is easy to modify to match whatever is needed, it both makes the sound and prints an alert with a message, I recorded the sounds my self so I know which instrument it belongs to.
I generated the code with NJScript wizard and it puts additional Plot indicator space, I minimized it to the minimum so it does not disturb me or the visual place, in case someone will use it and will modify the script so the plot will not be displayed on the chart, please post the script back, thanks.
Copy/Paste (I recorded my one sounds

Is there a "new bar" indicator with email alert?
