Email for order pending/fill/target/stop

[m3power222]

Anyway to send an Email for order pending/fill/target/stop/trailing stop move/etc?

Most online brokers have that feature built in.

Thanks in advance.

SendMail() from OnOrderUpdate(). This can only be done from a strategy.

I've set up a autotrade strategy already. If i made a second strategy could both strats be used at the same time?

You can use both strategies, but they work completely independently of each other.

Got any code examples, I am not a coder by any means...

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Unfortunately I do not have sample code. Please check out the Help Guide articles on those methods to get an idea.

If using the sampleatmstrat could I add email to it as it has some status?

// Check for a pending entry order
if (orderId.Length > 0)
{
string[] status = GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus(orderId);

// If the status call can't find the order specified, the return array length will be zero otherwise it will hold elements
if (status.GetLength(0) > 0)
{
// Print out some information about the order to the output window
Print("The entry order average fill price is: " + status[0]);
Print("The entry order filled amount is: " + status[1]);
Print("The entry order order state is: " + status[2]);

// If the order state is terminal, reset the order id value
if (status[2] == "Filled" || status[2] == "Cancelled" || status[2] == "Rejected")
orderId = string.Empty;

You can work with SendMail() to work status updates in - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...SendMail1.html

I'm really not sure how to even start with this. Like this?

// Check for a pending entry order
if (orderId.Length > 0)
{
string[] status = GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus(orderId);

// If the status call can't find the order specified, the return array length will be zero otherwise it will hold elements
if (status.GetLength(0) > 0)
{
// Print out some information about the order to the output window
Print("The entry order average fill price is: " + status[0]);
Print("The entry order filled amount is: " + status[1]);
Print("The entry order order state is: " + status[2]);

// If the order state is terminal, reset the order id value
if (status[2] == "Filled" || status[2] == "Cancelled" || status[2] == "Rejected")
orderId = string.Empty;
SendMail("[email protected]", "[email protected]", status[2], status[2]);

Right. It seems like you are using the SendMail() method accurately.

Right. It seems like you are using the SendMail() method accurately.

It does work and emails when initialized/working/filled.

Looking at NinjaTrader Order State Definitions I don't see anything for when targets are reached or when the order is stopped out.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

You would need to work with IOrder objects for this, here's a sample demonstrating this - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=7499

if (status[2] == "Filled" || status[2] == "Cancelled" || status[2] == "Rejected")
orderId = string.Empty;
SendMail("[email protected]", "[email protected]", status[2], status[2]);

With this shouldn't I only get emails when it is either filled/cancelled/rejected?

I'm getting "working" emails at what appears every bar close but "working" isn't listed above.

You don't have your if-statements in brackets.

You don't have your if-statements in brackets.

That is how it is in the SampleATMStrategy before putting in the SendMail(). Is the SampleATMStrategy brackets wrong?

// Check for a pending entry order
if (orderId.Length > 0)
{
string[] status = GetAtmStrategyEntryOrderStatus(orderId);

// If the status call can't find the order specified, the return array length will be zero otherwise it will hold elements
if (status.GetLength(0) > 0)
{
// Print out some information about the order to the output window
Print("The entry order average fill price is: " + status[0]);
Print("The entry order filled amount is: " + status[1]);
Print("The entry order order state is: " + status[2]);

// If the order state is terminal, reset the order id value
if (status[2] == "Filled" || status[2] == "Cancelled" || status[2] == "Rejected")
orderId = string.Empty;
}
} // If the strategy has terminated reset the strategy id
else if (atmStrategyId.Length > 0 && GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(atmStrategyId) == Cbi.MarketPosition.Flat)
atmStrategyId = string.Empty;


if (atmStrategyId.Length > 0)
{
// You can change the stop price
if (GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(atmStrategyId) != MarketPosition.Flat)
AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget(0, Low[0] - 3 * TickSize, "STOP1", atmStrategyId);

// Print some information about the strategy to the output window
Print("The current ATM Strategy market position is: " + GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(atmStrategyId));
Print("The current ATM Strategy position quantity is: " + GetAtmStrategyPositionQuantity(atmStrategyId));
Print("The current ATM Strategy average price is: " + GetAtmStrategyPositionAveragePrice(atmStrategyId)) ;
Print("The current ATM Strategy Unrealized PnL is: " + GetAtmStrategyUnrealizedProfitLoss(atmStrategyId)) ;
}
}
