Hi BJORNBERNAU,

Is authentication needed

You need to ask your email provider on what is required in order to use their smtp service.

 Also, I wonder how it is possible to avoid playing sound on every tick, but rather only on bar. 

You need to check if Bars.OpenTimes.Last(0) has changed since the last tick and send the email only then.

Best Regards,

Well, 

thank you. 

Is it possible to make price alerts like the one in cTrader for price levels, but for a custom indicator signal ?

Thank you! 

But I really cannot see how I can apply tick data in INDICATOR, onTICK seem reserved for Robots. 

How would you construct a tick signal and compare it to Bars.OpenTimes.Last(0) ?

Hi BJORNBERNAU,

Price alerts are not available via the API. You need to develop your own custom solution, either using message boxes or custom win forms.

Hi BJORNBERNAU,

You should be creating different threads for different subjects. Calculate method is triggered for each bar for past data and for each tick for current price stream. If you want to subscribe to tick events, you can subscribe to Bars.Tick.
