Ramp Chart Image
Email Alert Setup

Ramp will email an automatic real time chart pattern alert to any email address using your email server.  Every image will be sent as a separate message.  Your scan  settings will determine how many images will be sent.  Be aware that your personal cell phone account will be charged at your regular rate for receiving email messages.

We recommend you set up a free Google Gmail account and use it for Ramp.  Gmail has been tested with Ramp and is easy to set up.  A sample setup is shown below.  First, go to Google and set up your own Gmail account, then fill in the information in Ramp as shown below.

Important:
If you use a Gmail account be sure to go to the link below and "Enable" the less secure option.

This must be done before you send a test message.

Each setting is explained in the text below.

Email All Images Found as Individual Alerts
When this is checked, Ramp will send the scan results to your specified email addresses the instant they are found.  Un checking this box turns of the messaging service.

Send From Email Address
This is the current default email address that you use in Windows Mail on your computer.  To find it, run Windows Mail and click on 'Tools' and then 'Accounts'.  The send from email address is the 'default' email address shown there.  Another option, in the example above, we are using a free Google Gmail account to send the messages out.

Send To Email Address #1
This is the Email address you want to send the message to.  It can be any email address.  I like to send messages to my smart phone through my Verizon email account.

Send To Email Address #2
This is a second email address.  As an example, you can send alerts to both your desktop and your smart phone.

Test Subject:
This can be any text.  It is used for testing your mail settings only.  The subject of a real alert will show the symbol, pattern and time.

Test message Body
This can be any text.  It is used for testing your mail settings only.  The real alert message body will show the symbol, pattern and time.  The image will be an attachment.

To find it, run Windows Mail and click on 'Tools' and then 'Accounts'.  Click on your default account and then 'properties'.  In the 'Properties' window, click on the Servers tab.  Your Mail Server Name is under Outgoing Mail (SMTP).  In the example, we are using the Google Gmail system and we recommend you use it also.
