How to notify at the end of optimization

[doller]

Hello

I want be able to send a SMS to my phone at the end of optimization.
I know how to send mail and and then my mobile phone operator forward it as an SMS.

But how send mail on end of optimization process?
Is any method something like OnTermination()?

My OS: Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
My Ninja: 64-bit 7.0.1000.7 (Live)


Thank you, Doller Jozef

Hello Doller Jozef,
Thanks for writing in.
Unfortunately there’s no inbuilt in-handler for “end of optimization” event.

You can use OnTermination but it will be called after each instances of the testing. So let’s say you have a strategy with only one integer parameter in it and you want to optimize the same from, say 10-11. Then OnTermination will be called for 2 times.

You can do a little test. Make a copy of the SampleMACrossover strategy (inbuilt strategy with NinjaTrader) and place this little coded in it

protected override void OnTermination()
{
	Print("Hi");
}

Now optimize the same (say with the Slow parameter set to 25-26), and you will find that the OutputWindow printed “Hi” 2 times (please do keep the output window open).

This is true for your SMS/Email codes too.

Please let me know if I can be of any further help.

Regards,
Joydeep.

Hello Joydeep,

But when I have 3 parameters to optimize with each parameter step is 1 to 10,
I get 1000 SMS

The "End of Optimization" event should be great feature, if the optimization duration is too long.
Anyway I thank you for quick response

Best regards
