QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hello.
I am a python user
I have tried a few times to utilize the Notify.SMS() command within my OnData portion of the code to send alerts to my phone, to let me know when I enter a trade. When the program has gotten to that line of code, it causes an error in my program.
the command I have: self.Notify.Sms("+1 123-456-7890", "Bought E-mini")
I have done the phone number as all 1 string (no dashes or spaces), but that didn't work.
Thank you for any help or insight you have.

Are you using it in live mode, as I understand it does not work in demo mode.
I prefer using Email more than SMS as it is more reliable and it is free of cost for everyone (including Quantconnect)

The errors were in the live scenario. I was testing it on a live practice account at OANDA. Different strategy, but same placement and code utalized. I also tried the email notification instead, but this didn't work either. I'd prefer SMS, but would be happy if email worked as well.

Hi Michael; both work well as we pay a heavy toll for the community SMS messages =D. Thank you Ray for using email! To use Futures trading you currently need to use Interactive Brokers data feed so it will not work with Futures+OANDA. We're adding futures live feed soon so it actually will be possible within 1-2 months!
Generally to speed up your debugging try to assume its an issue with the algorithm, not the platform, after 100,000 users it is pretty reliable at this point.
