Is there a way to receive an email alert when trade condition is met and a trade is triggered in sim mode?
I realize that you can do this in signal settings when you are in live trading mode (SA mode) but I would like to get this email when the strategy is running in the background without being traded live. I can do that in TS.
Can someone please help?
Thank you

Hello AlgoDoc,
Alerts can work in both auto trading and forward-testing.
In order to have the alerts work you need to specify the alert conditions in your signal script using Alert reserved word.
Once that is done, please follow the instructions here to set up the email alerts for your signal.

Thanks, is there a power language manual I can refer to for examples of how these Alert emails are coded ? Where is the manual located if so?
Thank you
Thank you

Hello,
Alerts are generated when the Alert reserved word is triggered in your code.
Here is an example of the code that we have developed to trigger an alert only once with tick by tick alert condition check is selected.

Code: Select all
[IntrabarOrderGeneration=true]
vars: intrabarpersist posopen(0), intrabarpersist vrs(1), intrabarpersist mp(0);
if mp <> marketposition then
posopen = 0;
if (marketposition <> 0) and (posopen = 0) then
begin
alert("Postion Opened");
posopen = 1;
end;
mp = marketposition;
