IFTTT Share Service allows NinjaTrader to trigger events with IFTTT. The intent of this service is to allow NinjaTrader to send push notifications to mobile devices, however it can be used in any IFTTT applets. (IFTTT is a free app and website that allows users to connect smart devices using simple applets. NT App author has no connection with IFTTT other than as a user.)

How to use:

1. Setup IFTTT Account

1. Register on the IFTTT website for a free account.
2. Download the free IFTTT app to your smartphone and login
3. On the IFTTT dashboard, click "Webhooks" then "Documentation"
4. At the top of the page, you will see "Your key is:" followed by a long string of numbers and letters. Copy this key and do not share it publicly. It is how NinjaTrader will find your phone and other smart devices.

1. Import zip file into NinjaTrader
2. Navigate to Tools->Options->General and click "Edit Share Services" under "Preferences"

3. Create an applet on IFTTT
You can use IFTTT to let NinjaTrader trigger any supported event, including triggering IoT devices. You can do things like blink your smartlights when you enter a trade, but a more useful applet is sending messages from NinjaTrader to your phone as push notifications.
