LEAN is the open source
algorithmic trading engine powering QuantConnect. Founded in 2013 LEAN has been built by a
global community of 80+ engineers and powers more than a dozen hedge funds today.
I was using Tradier, but as it turns out, they don't have access to buy or sell the EFT fund I want to trade. So, as a work around, I decided I'll use QuantConnect to perform the technical analysis, and I'll do the trading manually.
To help me in this effort, I wrote a simple little function to notify me via email and SMS. From what I understand, the algorithm must be running in "Live" mode to send emails and sms messages. To test it, I'm sending one email and one SMS message when the algorithm initializes. But, I'm not receiving any SMS or email messages.
Here's the little function I wrote to send the SMS and email messages.

Hey Mike! Sorry about that you found a bug in the system :) When sending messages from Initiatlize specifically it was loosing the messages.
We did several tests and sending from the OnData/any other location will work fine. We pushed the bug fix and will deploy it to live in the next week.
A work around for now is simply setting a "first" boolean and only sending the message once in OnData:
bool first = true;
//in on data:
if (first) {
Notify.Sms()
first = false;
}
