Email/Text Notification TraceOrders NinjaScript Output

[jlkramer16]

Hi is it possible to send the TraceOrders NinjaScript Output to an email address or over SMS. I would like to receive notification on the fly of trade entries when I am away from my system. This seems like the easiest way since all the relevant data for the trade is already included in that message broadcast to the NinjaScript Output from TraceOrders=true;.

Thanks,
John

Hello jlkramer16,
Thanks for your post.

You could do this just using OnExecutionUpdate() and SendMail(), if you just wanted an email whenever there is an entry execution. That will be the least amount of effort since you cannot use NinjaTrader TraceOrders in an email.

You could also use the OnOrderTrace() override with SendMail() if you wanted to send your own trace messages to an email. Doing it this way will require a little extra effort as it will disable the built in TraceOrders and require you to create your own trace messages.

Please see the following links for more information:

OnExecutionUpdate() was what I was looking for. Thank you!
