Indicator Alerts

[Trader-Joe]

Not sure if this has been answered, though wondering if alerts can generate a text message to the users phone? Email is ok, though text would be more useful. Thanks

Hello Trader-Joe,

Thank you for your note.

With Ninjatrader 8 you can set up a "sharing service" with e-mail, twitter, facebook or stocktwits under Tools > Options > Share Services. NinjaTrader does not include functionality to automatically send text messages by default. You will have to use an e-mail to sms address provided by your carrier. This is done by using an email to sms address.To setup a text messages account that can be used to send messages from NinjaTrader select Text message via email from the available section and click add. The Properties section is now available to enter the needed information to set up your Text message via email Share Service. An email share service must be set up before configuring the Text message via email share service. NinjaTrader needs SMS address and MMS address for the entered phone number. Typical settings for some of the most common providers can be quickly entered by selecting your provider from the Preconfigured settings menu.




The sharing service must be configured first and can be found in Tools>Options and select "Share Services". Please see the help guide here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...al_section.htm
