Hi. Great platform, I am super excited.
I'm working on a simple trend following alg, which would make about 2 trades per month on average. I'd like to get an email alert when a trade needs execution. I realize that adding email capability could potential overwhelm your systems for high frequency algs, but we do need some way to put our algs on autopilot and sit back and get trade notifications.
Thanks and welcome to Quantopian!
We'd like to add alerts from live trading algorithms, but we haven't yet built the functionality. We'd like to see texts/emails generated when trades happen and perhaps an end-of-day summary email. It's on our radar and we would like to add it in the future.
If you're curious, here is what the live trading dashboard looks like:
This algo is trading on a paper account was created using the AlgoBuilder, a no-code option to creating a customized portfolio. And here's a quick walk-through video of the steps to start live trading.
Cheers,
Alisa

During the trade events are active, we have required to email the specification by our email account. I used my AOL email account to send the specifications, I did not receive the notifications and thus I visited AOL tech support to inform them to resend the notifications accordingly on time.
