{
SendMail( emailFrom , emailTo, Instrument.FullName + " | " + BarsPeriod.Id.ToString() +" : " + BarsPeriod.Value.ToString( ) + "Stop Loss Triggered", "Stop Loss");

Print("Stop Loss Triggered");


}

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

Have you removed the strategy from the Strategy tab in the control center to ensure there are no instances of it, and then re applied the strategy? Items in Initialize and properties can not get updated between refreshes of the script depending on the change so this could be the case.

If that is not what the problem is, can you provide the public property you have created for your sLMailAlerts variable?

I look forward to being of further assistance .

Hi Jesse, sorry the delayed answer, had to leave to work yesterday after i posted my question, yes i removed the strategy a couple times nothing changed, i restarted Ninja also, but the new Boolean options wont appear in parameters window.

Hello kabott,

Thank you for sending in your code. In your email parameters you are using Category instead of GridCategory. Please update your code accordingly and it will work:

[[B]GridCategory[/B]("04.Send Email Alert")]
[Gui.Design.DisplayName("04.Email From")]
public string EmailFrom
{
	get { return emailFrom; }
	set { emailFrom = value; }
}

Please let me know if you have any questions or if I may be of further assistance.

Hi Michael, again thanks for your help, an other question:
Should the "execution.Name" be the same name as the SetStopLoss?

im confused, cause if i use "target1" as the name my TP and Entry orders are also called "target1"

in which case the question is: How do i define a condition for entries and Take Profit exits?

I basically want the strategy to alert me via mail of any action it takes, be it bought/sold, got stopped out or exited the market trough Take Profit.


private void GoLong()
{
SetStopLoss ("target1", CalculationMode.Ticks, initialStopLoss , false); // Default Stop, 45 ticks
EnterLong ( "target1" );
SetProfitTarget ("target1" , CalculationMode.Price, Close[0] + ( takeProfitTarget * TickSize));
doItOnce = true;
}


if ( sLMailAlerts == true && execution.Name == "Stop Loss")
{
SendMail( emailFrom , emailTo, Instrument.FullName + " | " + BarsPeriod.Id.ToString() +" : " + BarsPeriod.Value.ToString( ) + "Stop Loss Triggered", "Stop Loss");
}

Hello kabott,

Have you tried the following:

if(sLMailAlerts == true)
{
    if([B]execution.Order.Name[/B] == "Stop loss")
    {
        SendMail( emailFrom , emailTo, Instrument.FullName + " | " + BarsPeriod.Id.ToString() +" : " + BarsPeriod.Value.ToString( ) + "Stop Loss Triggered", "Stop Loss"); 
    }
}

Please see this forum post for more information: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...24&postcount=2

If you have a specific case where this is not working, you could go off of the order type (if you are only using market orders for your entries):

if([B]execution.Order.OrderType == OrderType.Stop || execution.Order.OrderType == OrderType.StopLimit[/B])
    {
        SendMail( emailFrom , emailTo, Instrument.FullName + " | " + BarsPeriod.Id.ToString() +" : " + BarsPeriod.Value.ToString( ) + "Stop Loss Triggered", "Stop Loss"); 
    }

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