Symbol name in email alert

[chris07]

Hi,

I have set up an email alert to notify myself if there is a change in the bar color (of the recently closed bar). I would like to include the symbol name, e.g. EURNZD, in the email subject line or the text of the email. I have tried:
string instrument = Instrument.FullName;

but that did not work, it returned the above string ("string instrument = Instrument.FullName;") in plain text, either in the subject line or the text of the mail (depending on where I inserted it), and not the symbol.

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thank you!

Hello chris07,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

With the SendMail() you can either provide literal strings or string variables (or both) in this manner:

SendMail("[email protected]", "This is a test on"+Instrument.Fullname", "this is the body of the e-mail, close price = "+Close[0].Tostring())
