Hi there - this is going to be first attempt to code something.
Please can someone spend the time to steer me in the right direction.
I want to create an EA which fires out price alerts.
1) When i set a Take Profit level in the Orders window of MT4, i would like to hear a wav file played when that take profit level is hit
I would like to include somewhere in the EA - the facility to be able to specify how many times this alert should play.
I would also like to include somewhere in the EA - the facility to be able to browse for a specific wav file for this take profit level.
I want this to be all automated so that i dont have to use the MT4 alert tab to set alerts. I just want to be able to type in my Take Profit level (in the normal way through the orders window) and then the alert is all automatically set to go when the price hits that level.
I would also like to do all of the above for the following criteria:
1) Take Profit
2) Stop Loss
3) Entry Buy Order
4) Entry Sell Order
I cant see this being all that hard or complicated to do but, of course, with NO knowledge of programming MQL - i dont know where to start.
Correct me if i am wrong here but all i doing is utilizing the Alerts Tab already provided by MT4 but just automating it so that it is linked with whatever modifications i make in the orders windows for Take Profits, Stop Losses, Entry Buy Orders and Entry Sell Orders - correct?
Please can someone help me.
Thank you.
Kind Regards
Imi
