How to Send Email/Text for Stop Loss & Profit Target Trades

[raysinred]

Hi,

I use the SendMail() command to provide Emails and Texts for my Trade signals. But I'm uncertain how to do this with a Stop Loss and Profit Targets. Here is what I use for "regular" initiated trades.

SendMail("My Email or Phone Number", "TRADE ALERT", "ENTER LONG " + TradeInstrument);



From other posts, I have added the OnExecutionUpdate to print the signals.

protected override void OnExecutionUpdate(Cbi.Execution execution, string executionId, double price, int quantity,Cbi.MarketPosition marketPosition, string orderId, DateTime time)
{
Print(execution.Order.ToString());
Print(String.Format("executionId: {0}, price: {1}, quantity: {2}, marketPosition: {3}, orderId: {4}, time: {5}", executionId, price, quantity, marketPosition.ToString(), orderId, time));
}


Can I use this with the SendMail command? If so, how would I go about doing this for just the executed Stop Loss and Profit Target Exits?

Thank you,
Ray

Hello raysinred,

Thank you for your post.

You can identify an order within the OnExecutionUpdate method by using an if statement that checks the execution.Name property, and then use the SendMail method within that code block.
Below is an example from the OnExecutionUpdate Help Guide page that checks execution.Name:

protected override void OnExecutionUpdate(Execution execution, string executionId, double price, int quantity, MarketPosition marketPosition, string orderId, DateTime time)

{

if (execution.Name == "Long limit entry 1")

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
