sending emails

[punkiy2111]

Hello, sending emails in ninjatrader does not work for me now. I know that google restricted some things but I would like to know if ninjatrader can still send and how to do it.
Thank you very much.

Hi punkiy2111, thanks for writing in. We still have the ability to set up a share service in NinjaTrader. See the common setups here:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-7/platform-technical-support/46462-e-mail-smtp-setups?t=45339

Google now requires you set up an App password that must be used in the Password field of the Google share service.

Kind regards,

Sorry it doesn't work for me, where do I have to put the shared password in google? Before you could give permission to access less secure apps but now it is no longer possible.
Could you tell me how I can get it please?
Thank you very much.

Hello punkiy2111,

Application Specific Passwords can be setup in the Google Account. Allowing less secure apps may be possible to enable here as well.

I am directly linking below the google app password page that was linked in the forum post linked in post # .

Below is a link to a video that demonstrates.

Thanks Chelsea it worked, only 2 questions...
1) Is it necessary to activate 2-step verification?
2) With this key can I use it on 2 or 3 different ninjatrader platforms or is it just a key for an email?
Thank you very much for your professionalism, as always.

Can you answer me please? Thanks a lot

Hi punkiy2111, sorry we missed you here. These are things you will need to test on your Google account. We do not know the requirements of app passwords beyond the need for them in a share service.

Kind regards,
