Hey guys! I have opted to do some paper trading and receive messages when a trade goes through. The only problem is that these messages are hard to read and understand, how can I change this so it can look something like:
Symbol - Quantity - Etc.

Hi Jesse,
To change the format of live trading notifications, call the self.Notify methods in your code files. We can get our latest order fills of the algorithm during the OnOrderEvent method.

Thank you for your response! This helps tremendously. I have one follow up question for you:
def OnOrderEvent(self, orderEvent: OrderEvent) -> None:
order = self.Transactions.GetOrderById(orderEvent.OrderId)
if orderEvent.Status == OrderStatus.Filled:
self.Debug(f"{self.Time}: {order.Type}: {orderEvent}")
self.Notify.Sms(phone_number, message)
Is this where I would put the self.Notify? And can the message be the line
self.Debug(f"{self.Time}: {order.Type}: {orderEvent}")
Thank you for your time!
Jesse

Derek Melchin I actually have a much more explicit question now!
Consider the following example code made to liquidate on a 30min reversal:
# EXIT (30-MIN TRAILING STOP)
if self.long and self.Portfolio.Invested and self.thirty_min_reversal_sell and (self.symbol_price < (self.trigger_thirty_min_low)):
self.MarketOrder(self.symbol.Symbol, -(held_stocks))
self.thirty_min_reversal_sell = False
self.long = False
self.Log(f'EXIT (30-MIN REVERSAL) {self.symbol_price} and {self.trigger_thirty_min_low}')
Is there a way to do something like this?
# EXIT (30-MIN TRAILING STOP)
if self.long and self.Portfolio.Invested and self.thirty_min_reversal_sell and (self.symbol_price < (self.trigger_thirty_min_low)):
self.MarketOrder(self.symbol.Symbol, -(held_stocks))
self.thirty_min_reversal_sell = False
self.long = False
self.Notify.Sms(phone_number, 'EXIT (30-MIN REVERSAL) {self.symbol_price} and {self.trigger_thirty_min_low}')

Hi Jesse,
Yes, we just need to convert the message to an f-string.
