I have an alert to send me a screenshot of a chart once the market closes after 5pm EST
But this alert does not work. Can any explain why?

Hello YourDailyBread ,

Thank you for reaching out.

Unfotunately it is not currently possible to have the platform send a Screenshot with your Chart Alert.

If you want to suggest this as a future Alert featrure, please use the link below to submit this request to our product team for consideration to implement in future releases:

Hello YourDailyBread,

Thank you for your post.

The basic alerts from the platform can:



Once triggered, but they cannot also have screenshot taken at that time. Its not a function.

For this, you would need some kind of external screenshot taking software with a timer /delay function that you can set to a specified time.

Or you can try searching the user ecosystem for custom NinjaScripts that may accomplish the same goal or closely resemble the function you have mentioned;

Here is a basic guideline of how to import NinjaScript add-ons in NinjaTrader 8:
Note — To import NinjaScripts you will need the original .zip file.

To Import:

1. Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'

Once installed, you may add the indicator to a chart by:

• Right-click your chart > Indicators... > Select the Indicator from the 'Available' list on the left > Add > OK

Here is a short video demonstration of the import process:
