send mail from scripts

[dafonseca]

I ve made a test from Options-> Misc-> and the email went through, Fine!

But on my script I have the following line:

SendMail("", "", "Trade Alert", "checking vix test");

but Nothing happens, no email is received. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello dafonseca,

Emails can only be sent from a script once the script has reach real-time data. (Emails are not sent when the script is processing historical data)

If you add a print one line above where the SendMail() call is in a condition that requires the Historical bool to be false, do you see the print appear and the email does not get sent?

Attached is a script that will attempt to send an email to the email in the input field in real-time using a timer after the script enters real-time.
