    Anyone still using Stratasearch for backtesting/strategy development?

    I tried to use a gmail account for sending emails with daily signals. However gmail doesn't seem to be supported. Does anybody know which email service is still supported? Could someone please sent a picture of the email settings that still work? Thanks
