E-mail Alert for EA

Can anybody please assist.

Using MT4 you can set alerts when prices reach certain levels, but is it possible to set an alert when an EA opens a trade - if it's possible, please explain how this can be achieved.

You can program it in the EA using the built-in function.

You should cofigure Tools/Option/E-mail and use SendMail function.


Quote from help:

<TABLE class=docvar cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD><NOBR>"void SendMail(</NOBR></TD><TD>string subject, string some_text)</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Sends a message to the e-mail set in the Tools->Options->EMail tab.
The sending can be disabled in settings, or it can be omitted to specify the e-mail address.
Parameters:
<TABLE class=docparams cellSpacing=2 cellPadding=2 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top>subject</TD><TD vAlign=top noWrap> - </TD><TD width="100%">Subject text.</TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=top>some_text</TD><TD vAlign=top noWrap> - </TD><TD width="100%">Mail body.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
Sample:


double lastclose=Close[0]; if(lastclose<my_signal) SendMail("from your expert", "Price dropped down to "+DoubleToStr(lastclose));"</PRE>
