Have Ninja Send me an Email when my strategy give a signal/entry

[Andrek1876]

Does anyone know how to let ninja send you an email whenever your strategy gives a signal or entry or disconnect from my network...please help.

Welcome to our forums - you could include a call to SendMail() directly when you enter with your condition to get an email in realtime on an entry happening - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...7/sendmail.htm

For connection issue, you could monitor OnConnectionStatus events -

However if you have a full ISP connection loss, then this would not be helpful either as you could not inform yourself via email then with no connection available.

I'm also attempting to use the SendMail function yet I get the following error in the log...

Can you help? Thank you in advance!

Sure, are you just using the empty default settings under Tools > Options > Misc here? SSL checked or not? Have you tried entering your own email's provider SMPT instead?

[dadof3and3]

Should the Test Email work with blank configuration?
I've also tried using Gmail SMTP config however their configuration is...
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS or SSL: smtp.gmail.com
Use Authentication: Yes
Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587
Port for SSL: 465

ports 587 or 465?

Also could I use Gmail's POP server?

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

A blank configuration would work as long as nothing is blocking port 25. If that throws an error, you'd have to use your custom email servers.

for gmail, the settings are located in the following post:

I have yet to have any configuration work. I have tried your suggestions only to no avail. A pop-up comes up and says "Failed to send test mail: Failure sending mail." any suggestions?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

When you made your changes for the configs to test under Tools > Options > Misc - did you press 'ok' first to accept a new config and then coming back to the window to actually 'test' it? Otherwise the new changes could not be applied and therefore you could be testing and retesting old settings only.

[dadof3and3]

Yes, and I get the same result. the log file shows: "Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 173.194.77.109:587"

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

dadof3and3, is that testing with Antivirus / Firewall filters set to a minimum? Are you working behind a proxy in this setup?

[dadof3and3]

Thank you... I had McAfee running and blocking the Ninjatrader.exe app from emailing. All is good in the world now

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Ok, thanks for the update - we're glad to hear that.

[Andrek1876]

Hey i just got my test email by using the Tools > Options > Misc configuration with 587 as my port..will this give me real time email alerts on entries and exits etc? FYI am using a strategy on my ninja.

[NinjaTrader_CalH]

Hi Andrek1876,

As long as you have your strategy set to send you emails when you have entries and exits; Yes you will receive them as the trades take place.
