Modifying PriceAlert Indicator

[stressless]

I have already modified the PriceAlert Indicator as shown below. This added the SendMail feature to it, which forwards to my phone as an alert. I also want the alert to cancel after the first occurrence so I don't continue getting messages after it triggers. I believe I would use ResetAlert but I haven't gotten the script right. Can someone supply me with the line that I would add below to cancel the alert after it triggers? Thanks


if ((triggerOnGreaterThan && Input[0] >= price - (TickSize * 0.5)) || (!triggerOnGreaterThan && Input[0] <= price + (TickSize * 0.5)))
{
triggered = true;
Alert(DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString(), Cbi.Priority.Medium, "Price level '" + price + "' hit!", Cbi.Core.InstallDir + @"\sounds\Alert4.wav", 0, Color.Yellow, Color.Black);
SendMail ("support@ninjatrader.com", "steve@myemail.com", "KOS Buy Alert", "Set Buy Order");
}

Hi stressless,

ResetAlert() will make the alert active again. Using a value of 0 for Re-Arm after seconds means that it will only trigger once.

It sounds like you need control mainly on the SendMail() command instead. You can add your own bool variable to this. Best may be a bool input so you could control send mail commands through the indicator properties.

Declare in variables region:
private bool doOnce;

Add as a condition to your SendMail:

if ((triggerOnGreaterThan && Input[0] >= price - (TickSize * 0.5)) || (!triggerOnGreaterThan && Input[0] <= price + (TickSize * 0.5)))
{
triggered = true;
Alert(DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString(), Cbi.Priority.Medium, "Price level '" + price + "' hit!", Cbi.Core.InstallDir + @"\sounds\Alert4.wav", 0, Color.Yellow, Color.Black);

     if(doOnce)
     {
          SendMail ("support@ninjatrader.com", "steve@myemail.com", "KOS Buy Alert", "Set Buy Order");
          doOnce = false;
     }
}

Hi..

is it possible for someone to modify the price alert indy to include sendmail function?


**how would you code smtpServer info in with the sendmail command? to send email with alert? ...(i do not want the system (MISC/OPTIONS.etc..) to send)

smtp.XXX.com
port587
no ssl
acct username: xyz
acct pw: ~~~

     }
}

is this the only code needed to rcv emails? using sendmail() with priceAlert?

what if your email settings are at DEFAULT?

Hello,

Yes SendMail() is all you need to send emails from the code when a condition is true.

However the email settings it is using would need to be what is set from Tools--> Misc
