!!! Warning "Warning about backtesting"
This method will always return up-to-date values - so usage during backtesting / hyperopt will lead to wrong results.
### Send Notification
The dataprovider `.send_msg()` function allows you to send custom notifications from your strategy.
Identical notifications will only be sent once per candle, unless the 2nd argument (`always_send`) is set to True.
``` python
self.dp.send_msg(f"{metadata['pair']} just got hot!")
# Force send this notification, avoid caching (Please read warning below!)
self.dp.send_msg(f"{metadata['pair']} just got hot!", always_send=True)
```
Notifications will only be sent in trading modes (Live/Dry-run) - so this method can be called without conditions for backtesting.
!!! Warning "Spamming"
You can spam yourself pretty good by setting `always_send=True` in this method. Use this with great care and only in conditions you know will not happen throughout a candle to avoid a message every 5 seconds.
### Complete Data-provider sample

`exit` notifications are sent when the order is placed, while `exit_fill` notifications are sent when the order is filled on the exchange.
`*_fill` notifications are off by default and must be explicitly enabled.
`protection_trigger` notifications are sent when a protection triggers and `protection_trigger_global` notifications trigger when global protections are triggered.
`show_candle` - show candle values as part of entry/exit messages. Only possible value is "ohlc".
`strategy_msg` - Receive notifications from the strategy, sent via `self.dp.send_msg()` from the strategy [more details](strategy-customization.md#send-notification).
`show_candle` - show candle values as part of entry/exit messages. Only possible values are `"ohlc"` or `"off"`.
`balance_dust_level` will define what the `/balance` command takes as "dust" - Currencies with a balance below this will be shown.
`reload` allows you to disable reload-buttons on selected messages.
