Help Generating an Email Alert

techinvest · #1 (**permalink**) 03-30-2006, 07:47 PM

Currently this is what I'm trying in my EA to update me via email about the health of my account:

if (Hour()==23 && Minute()==00)
SendMail("DLMod1", "Account Balance is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountBalance(),2)+"_Account Equity is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountEquity(),2)+
"_Account Profit is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountProfit(),2)+"_Account Margin is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountMargin(),2)+
"_Account Free Margin is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountFreeMargin(),2));

The problem is that if I add in a seconds value, if it doesn't get a tick that second I get no email, but in this configuration I get an email for every tick sometimes almost 100.

Can someone help me write this correctly so that I get only one email a day?

Thanks for your help!

Try this

PHP Code:


			
bool mail;

int start(){

   if (Hour()>=23 && !mail){

      SendMail("DLMod1", "Account Balance is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountBalance(),2)+"_Account Equity is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountEquity(),2)+

      "_Account Profit is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountProfit(),2)+"_Account Margin is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountMargin(),2)+

      "_Account Free Margin is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountFreeMargin(),2));

      mail=true;

   }

   if(Hour()<23)mail=false;

}

Another idea.

Code:

int SentEmail=0;

int start(){
   if (Hour()==23 && SentEmail!=DayOfYear())
   {
      SendMail("DLMod1", "Account Balance is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountBalance(),2)+"_Account Equity is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountEquity(),2)+ 
      "_Account Profit is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountProfit(),2)+"_Account Margin is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountMargin(),2)+ 
      "_Account Free Margin is-"+DoubleToStr(AccountFreeMargin(),2));
      SentEmail = DayOfYear();
   }

Thanks to you both. I think we have a winner in one of these!

Anyone know how to customize an alert using the sendmail command? I am having trouble getting an email to work off an alert

.
Any advice would be appreciated.

if(current_dirction != last_direction)
{
Alert ("EMA/SMA Cross for "+Symbol()+" on the "+Period()+" minute chart.");
last_direction = current_dirction;
return (true);
}
else
{
return (false);
}
