Sorry Matrix, I can't help you with txt email via gmail. They are all different. I use Charter Cable, and I have used fastmail.net successfully in the past. I would google "how do I received text messages from my computer using gmail". Or go to one of the Platform Technology forums and ask the question. The guys on the "Iwill code your indicators and EA for free" forum have always helped me out when I was getting started.
Disliked{quote} Thanks Ryder. I think the indicator is good as required. i need to ask another noob question - how do i set the email alert? i use gmail so i put "smtp.gmail.com" as the SMTP server, login i put my email and password my pw... what do i need to put for the "From" and "To"? i tried test but doesnt really work. i have yet able to code an indicator/EA, tried but cant seem to troubleshoot. I do know someone who is able to code a profitable EA using grid trading.. though i never see his actual results before, i believe it works.. i do wish i can...Ignored
