MT4 going crazy on alerts with trailing stop loss

When using trailing stop loss in MT4, the SL order are modified all the time and since MT4 alerts me when an order are being modified, my iphone, wristwatch and laptop are going crazy on alerts.

Anyone know how to fix this? I really don't need to be notified when orders are being modified (only executed or closed).

Need more details, which EA is adjusting the stop loss levels?

Show us the settings, surely they can be adjusted?

Waiting...

It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

No EA. I place orders manually in MT4 and then set a stop loss with eg. a 60 point trailing stop loss. Each time the SL moves, I get alerted.

I don't see any reference to Alerts of Trailing Stop Loss in the manual, so I guess it's a feature.

You try a 3rd party EA I suppose.

Good Luck.

Has anyone found a solution for this? I have an EA running on several charts with a 65 pip trailing stop loss that moves up with every pip. I would still like to be notified of entries and exits but not all of the order modifications.
