I tried using my gmail account and at&t mobile

 
Code
SendMail("[email protected]", "my ten digit cell [email protected]", "Subject", "possible trade");
not sure if there is a faster method.

As mentioned you'll want to use SendMail() and your recipient email address will be one provided by your wireless phone provider (usually something like: <phonenumber>@yourwirelessprovider.com). You'll also need to reference in NinjaTrader Tools->Options->Misc->Mail setup if your emails do not appear to be getting through. Use the mail server information for your ISP/Yahoo/Gmail/other account for these settings.

I doubt you'll be able to do bold or custom fonts. You may be better off highlighting or blocking information with **** or ----- or such.

I would suggest testing this against an email account first then use a phones email address for receiving a text message. Be careful if you don't have an unlimited text plan. If you eventually find you can send/receive MMS messages then realize these use your phones data connection.
