Oliver Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Hi, I was able to setup alerts sending emails from a scan using the TriggerAlert function. Is there a way to add charts (daily, 5min and 15min) to the email sent by the alert? Or to send from MT an email containing a chart? I am not always on my desk so if I could receive the charts in an email on my phone I could quickly decide if it is worth login on my broker' site to put a trade on.

Jerry Medved Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 You can't include the chart in the alert. As for sending the chart from MT, right click on the chart and select the Share option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Posted January 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Sending charts from MT works great. Would it be possible to add this functionality in the scanner? That would be fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 can't do it for alerts - do not have a chart definition to send and also creating a new chart in order to take a screenshot is 1) very costly CPU wise, and 2) very asynchronous - which in turn makes it very difficult to know when the screenshot can actually be taken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Posted January 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 My system only generates a few alerts per day so CPU would not be an issue. Also it does not have to be a screenshot of an existing chart : standard daily historical chart with candlestick over a 1y period would be fine. Same for intraday, any default candlestick chart period would be fine. Attached is the default charts I get from TraderVue for instance. The exact time the graph is done is not very important as I execute through my broker. It can be generated with the data available when the mail is sent. It would be a great addition.
