Sending SMS from NT6?

[molecool]

I am aware of the sendmail function in NT6, but am also planning in sending SMS. What would I have to do in order to hook that in? Has anyone done that? Obviously, the implication here is that it would only send a SMS during trading hours and not trigger during backtesting (i.e. generate hundreds of SMS messages).

Any pointers/ideas would be welcome.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael, this would be easily possible if you use a mail provider that can receive emails and forward them as SMS.

I thought of that, but would prefer to directly use a C# SMS library that works with my provider. What I do need is the code that prevents messages to be sent during back testing. Is that source available? Or is there at least a call I can make so that I can test a flag and only send if I get a true back?

Thanks,

Michael

Michael,

Unfortunately source code is not available. If you just want to test I recommend you just open a real-time chart and throw a quick indicator onto there that sends yourself SMS messages. It will trigger in real-time.

Okay, let me re-phrase this question: HOW can I have something trigger only during trading hours and have it ignored during backtesting. Does this make more sense?

You can do this with putting the code in

if (Historical) 
return;

Okay, so I would want this to be false in order to know that it's live, correct?

Yes, if you put this at the start of your OnBarUpdate() the script will only be run live, not in backtest...

I'd like to recive a sms each time that a trade is filled by ninja into my brokers.

Could someone describe each steps how to do this please?

I have done this,

but you need an email provider that supports sending of sms.

I can configure my email provider to send an sms to my mobile phone whenever an email from sender sender@ninja.com with topic SMSMESSAGE comes in.
the sms shows the body line.
The point is that the email provider will charge you something for sending the sms. i

Then use the Email function.

I have used the normal email function and then sent the message to the phone using the right email address that will translate to an SMS on the phone end.

T-Mobile: phonenumber @tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber @vmobl.com
Cingular: phonenumber @cingularme.com
Sprint: phonenumber @messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon: phonenumber @vtext.com
Nextel: phonenumber @messaging.nextel.com

etc...

for the last several month I used my email provider (web.de) to have him send me an sms to my mobile phone when the subject line contains a certain string.
This all works fine .. in principle, because sometimes it happens that the sms arrives only 30 minutes later and not immediately.
As I am interested in my fills a (sometimes) 30 minutes lag is unacceptable to me.

Looking into commercial sms gateways etc... it all looks as just replacing the current situation with something similar and not better. Probably worse and more chances that something goes wrong.

So I decided to use an old mobile phone with its prepaid sim card and I keep this phone attached permanently to my PC via bluetooth and the phone charger is also connected!

In this way I can access the phone by simply accessing a COM port in C#.

Sending sms messages is easy as it is just a simple AT command set to send them. http://codeglobe.blogspot.com/2009/0...modem-and.html

There are 2 options , sending sms as text , easy to implement, but unfortunately you cannot represent the € sign.
So for the € sign a sms PDU modus is needed.

Now with the mobile phone attached to the PC I basically have set up my own sms gateway and now the sms takes only less thanb 5 seconds to arrive at my cell phone.

Good luck
