Email notifications when indicator has passed a chosen threshold

To clarify (sorry) :> Indicator should actually CROSS chosen level for the email to be sent.

i.e on H1 period with the MACD :
if MACD < 0 at 9AM
[...] and MACD > 0 at 10AM
[...] then the email is immediatly sent at 11.00AM
[...] and if it stays above 0 it doesn't send an email until it goes below 0 level.

I'm on something else at the moment, but part of the solution may be in the new release of the soft with the command :

Notifications.SendEmail(string from, string to, string subject, string text): Introduced a new method which sends a notification email message from Robots and Indicators. You can change the settings of emails from Email Settings menu item under preferences in both cTrader and cAlgo.

I'll get back when I will have had the time to tackle this point.And if only I manage to make it work indeed ;)

Hello,

Please try this code:

Hi support team,

I tried this code:

using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Indicators
{
    [Levels(0)]
    [Indicator()]
    public class MACDcrossover : Indicator
    {
        private MacdCrossOver _macdCrossOver;
        private bool _emailSent;
        private string _from;
        private string _to;
        private string _subject;
        private string _text;

        [Parameter("Long Cycle", DefaultValue = 26)]
        public int LongCycle { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Short Cycle", DefaultValue = 12)]
        public int ShortCycle { get; set; }

        [Parameter("Period", DefaultValue = 9)]
        public int Period { get; set; }

        [Output("MACD")]
        public IndicatorDataSeries Macd { get; set; }

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            _macdCrossOver = Indicators.MacdCrossOver(LongCycle, ShortCycle, Period);

            // Add your information below
            _from = "bb1902@gmail.com";
            _to = "bb1902@gmail.com";
            _subject = "Macd Crossover";
            _text = "Crossed above";

        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
            Macd[index] = _macdCrossOver.MACD[index];

            // Make sure the email will be sent only at RealTime
            if (!IsRealTime)
                return;

            if (!_emailSent && _macdCrossOver.MACD[index - 2] < 0 && _macdCrossOver.MACD[index - 1] > 0)
            {
                Notifications.SendEmail(_from, _to, _subject, _text);
                Print(_text);
                _emailSent = true;
                return;
            }

            if (_emailSent && _macdCrossOver.MACD[index - 1] > 0 && _macdCrossOver.MACD[index] < 0)
            {
                _text = "crossed below";
                Notifications.SendEmail(_from, _to, _subject, _text);
                Print(_text);
                _emailSent = false;
            }

        }
    }
} 

I don't know where wrong is, but ctrader did not send me any notification email, can you help me?

Thank you
