Tinkerz,

I am happy to assist you.

Do you mean some kind of function that would send a message to email, a website, etc? Could you please clarify?

I look forward to helping you.

Hello sci_fi683,

Thank you for writing in and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

I am not entirely clear of what is desired.

Are you wanting to send an email? Are you wanting a web browser to open to navigate to a specified URL after some event in the script occurs?

Please clarify further.

Also change Variables in the url based on the script event

Hello sci_fi683,

You can use the C# method call to System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() to navigate to a web browser once something occurs.

You'll want to pass a string as the URL.

As an example:

if (/*some condition*/)
     System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.ninjatrader.com");

You can also create your own method that takes in a string parameter so you can modify the string to whatever URL desired.

Example:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
     if (/*some condition*/)
          GoToURL("http://www.ninjatrader.com");
}

void GoToURL(string url)
{
     System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url);
}

I've created an additional example below that will modify what website to go to by using a variable:

private string searchEngine = string.Empty;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
     if (/*some condition*/)
          searchEngine = "google";
     else
          searchEngine = "yahoo";

     if (/*some other condition*/)
          GoToURL("http://www." + searchEngine + ".com");
}

void GoToURL(string url)
{
     System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url);
}

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.
