Receiving an email if the strategy stops working

[pandyav]

Hello,
I have an automated trading strategy and I was wondering if there is a way to insert some kind of Ninja Script code it it so that if the strategy stops working because of some reason, I receive an email.

Is this possible withing NT?

Thanks!

Hi pandyav, you could be for example checking into those options to handle connection issues -

Another item to consider would be for example rejected orders, which you could track in OnOrderUpdate() - https://www.ninjatrader.com/support/...orhandling.htm

and then manually send you an email for example through the use of SendMail().

Hi Bertrand,
Thank you for the quick reply.

I was able to set up the email server per your note and also got a test email. My question is if there is a way to get an email everytime a something changes under your log tab.

So every time a new message appears under the log tab, may it be related to order, strategy etc. I want to get an email.

Is it possible?

pandyav, that would be possible for all alert type events - you can enter your email to here under Tools > Options > Misc, too (lower part).

So if I understood it correctly, If I fill in the details under Tools > Options > Misc, I'd receive an email every time the log changes, correct?

Again, thanks a lot for your help.

Hello pandyav,

For clarity, you will get an e-mail when there is an Alert condition, a Warning condition or an Error condition. You would not get an e-mail for every item that is logged unless it fits one of those three conditions.

Here is the help guide for setting up the Misc tab. http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...l?misc_tab.htm
