Email when StopLoss Triggered

Hi All,

What is the simplest way to have an email sent when a stoploss is triggered?

Thanks,

Lee

Hello lee612801,

Thank you for your note.

You would use the OnExecution() method and check the execution.Name for "Stop loss". Then use the SendMail() method.

• OnExecution(): http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...nexecution.htm
• SendMail(): http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...7/sendmail.htm

Hi,

So I tried adding what you suggested, but I know I have something wrong as it does not send an email when the stop is triggered...

Here is what I have:

protected override void Initialize()
{
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Percent, PctLoss);
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
Code...........
}

protected override void OnExecution(IExecution execution)
{
if (execution.Name == "StopLoss")
{
SendMail("xxxxxx, "xxxxxxx", "Trade Alert", "Exit Long");
Print("Stop Loss Triggered");
}

Not sure what the problem is.

Change if (execution.Name == "StopLoss") to if (execution.Name == "Stop loss").
