Stop Loss/Target & SendMail()

May 29th, 2010, 05:34 AM

Hi All,

I'm trying to get my strat to email me when my stop loss or target gets filled but am not having any luck. I was hoping someone could take a look at my code and tell me what I'm missing. I'm sure it's something small. Since I'm assuming the code is pretty much the same for both, here's what I have for stop loss:

Variables
private bool stopSent = false;
private ArrayList stopLossTokens = new ArrayList();

protected override void OnBarUpdate() <---using this for breakeven/trail
SetStopLoss("Name", CalculationMode.Ticks, 12, false);

protected override void OnOrderUpdate(IOrder order)
if(order.OrderState == OrderState.PendingSubmit)
{
if(order.name == "Name")
stopLossTokens.Add(order.Token);
}

if(stopLossTokens.Contains(order.Token))
{
if(order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled && stopSent == false)
{
SendMail("", [email protected], Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name + " Name Stop Filled " + order.AvgFillPrice + ": " + lastProfit, "");
stopSent = true;
stopLossTokens.Remove(order.Token);
}
}

Anyone? Bueller?

Thanks,
Dave

P.S. As an alternative, if anyone has a working snippet they'd be willing to share, I'd be extremely grateful.

Why not use the existing thread that you already created?

SendMail() for strategies

Hi All,

I'm trying to add SendMail() to my strat for when it enters, moves my stop to breakeven and closes. Since I'm using CalculateOnBarClose = false, I can't use the regular SendMail() code as it produces a zillion emails. Does anyone …

Hey Mike,

Sorry if I caused a problem. The other thread I started was probably a little overcomplicated in hindsight so I thought I'd break it down into smaller parts. Want me to delete this one (though I'm not sure how)?

Thanks,

I will close this thread.

It seems to me it is the same problem as before so should be on the same thread.

You should just post an update to the other thread with whatever new info and ask for more help.
