Is there any way to set an alarm to go off when a "take profit" is hit? Is there a built in or is an indicator or EA necesary. Thanks in advance for any help that might be provided.

I found and use this indicator. When a trade closes and goes to history, a pop up alert comes on screen very quickly and tells of order number with profit or loss amount. If several trades close it will alert only one, and then wait for the next, Only insert on one chart and it will work on all pairs. If you place on two charts will receive two notifications of the SAME trade closing. Place on 3 charts get 3 etc.
An easy way to install is to close Metaeditor if it is open. If you dont know what Metaeditor is, it is already closed.
Download file and open when download complete ( this auto opens in Metaeditor as code)
Go to File - Save As - (select folder - in this case it is an indicator, so go to
Computer - click C Drive - Program Files - click your broker named Metatrader4
Open experts folder - open indicator folder.
Keep the same name or select a different name for the file (make it shorter or more meaningful for example)
Save
Now file is saved next thing is to click on "Compile" (the icon with a tick) to see if there are any errors in the code.
If all good, close metaeditor. I like to restart MT4 and then apply the indicator to a chart.
EA or expert advisor can be saved in the same way but place in experts folder.
