SMS text messages

[naftali]

I'm trying to set up text message alerts in my control panel. However, I use gmail and I can't find any SMS or MMS addresses on this. Does anyone know how to do this?

I have my email address set up ok. It's the text message sms and mms I'm inquiring about.

Hello naftali,

Thank you for responding with these details.

Seeing as you mention you already have your Email share service set up, you can proceed to set up the Text message via Email to receive texts.

To set up a text messages account that can be used to send messages from NinjaTrader, select 'Text message via email' from the 'available' section and click the add button. The Properties section should be available to enter the needed information to set up your 'Text message via email' Share Service. NinjaTrader needs the SMS address and MMS address for the entered phone number in order to send the messages as expected. Depending on your phone provider, you can use the preconfigured selections available in the 'Preconfigured Settings' section.

Here is a publicly available link from our help guide which goes over these settings and properties in further detail: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...gShareServices
