EA trade e-mail alert?

Hi,
I've been looking for this thing lately, and i'm getting frustrated, as I thought this should be something basic, but still cannot figure it out:

How can I get an e-mail alert or a *beep* on my MT4 mobile, when my EA enters a trade on MT4 desktop? Same for closing a trade, but opening is my main concern now, there must be a way to get notified..;

Yes there is a way.

On the desktop run your trading script without any modification.
In thesame time on your mobile run something like that:

Inserted Code
int lastNumOfTrades=-1;
 
int start() {
   if (lastNumOfTrades==-1)
      lastNumOfTrades=OrdersTotal();
 
   if (lastNumOfTrades!=OrdersTotal()) {
      PlaySound("alert5.wav");
      lastNumOfTrades=OrdersTotal();
   }
}
Should work fine

If You want different sound for closing and opening trade You can do a little modification:

Inserted Code
int lastNumOfTrades=-1;
int start() {
   if (lastNumOfTrades==-1)
      lastNumOfTrades=OrdersTotal();
   if (lastNumOfTrades!=OrdersTotal()) {
      if (lastNumOfTrades<OrdersTotal())
         PlaySound("close.wav");
      else
         PlaySound("open.wav");
      lastNumOfTrades=OrdersTotal();
   }
}
Thanks Pablo, but I don't think that scripts on mobile is possible How would you compile/run it?

I would rather look for a similar script that would set a trade e-mail alert on MT4 desktop, which then I can receive on mobile/pDA.

Why ?? I havent run MT4 on mobile, but i think it could be possible to run it as a simple EAs - am I wrong?


On the other hand You can setup email notification in your desktop version of MT. Just add SendMail function after each ordered ticket. Of course first you must setup MT4 for sending emails: Tools->Options->EMail tab.

I don't use MetaTrader Mobile, but my understanding is that it sucks the battery down pretty quickly. I'd suggest going the email/sms route, that's how I have my alerts set up.

Unfortunately no scripts or custom indicators can be run on mobile;
SendMail sounds promising, could this function be included in the EA in a piece of codesimilar to your sound example above?
I do have my terminal able to send e-mail;

That's what i am looking for also, I want to be alerted when a ticket is opened, while I am away from the terminal. The mobile MT then comes handy, because I cannot stay by computer all the time, and so I can quickly close or modify a trade on the run (EA babysitting, sorta). Yes MT mobile it does suck a lot of power, but you don't have to keep it running all the time, just when you get the alerts . Big thanks for your trend alert EA, btw!!

hello tesla

could you please show me how to set up the sms alerts?

thanks so much.
sms alerts would be an Email alert sent to your cell. Of course, you have to set up the emailContacts in MT4.
i see thanks... so there's no direct way to send sms
Just add SendMail function after each ordered ticket.#

hi can you please explain this to me ....
_also it will be easy to create indicator email send funktions, right ?


1. SendMail function to order ticket =?
( Ea opens a trade send email to : )

2. SendMail function to indicator value =?
Standard Indicator MAcd crosses 0 Line )

since i cant code please tell the whole procedure will help a lot of traders....!
