Trading View has zero alerts now.
MT5 alerts only work if you are connected to a desktop.
I was considering a VPS with MT5, but I'm still unprofitable as a trader and can't afford to buy one. I've invested money in learning and a prop firm account.
Does anybody here have a good idea?

How much does a VPS cost?
$4-$5 a month???
If you can't afford that much, what are you doing in the financial speculations business?
There is no place in this business for people who can't afford to lose money!

Download MT5 or TradingView in your phone and the alert notification will show for you

This means that you are not suitable for trading, sorry!
If you fear losing, you can never be a successful trader.

Maybe it's because I live in a country where the average salary is $82.
I'm looking for a cheaper alternative.
But thanks, I will try to save up.
I've come a long way from finding charts confusing to blowing demo accounts, to now being in the top 411 in FundedNext monthly competition.

Everything is free. The competition lasts for one month, and the top 3 participants after one month will receive a free 100k demo or challenge account. Participants ranked up to 100th place will also receive free demo or challenge accounts with different accounts.
The competition exists so you can receive prop challenges for free, without any cost.
After the competition, you need to pass that free challenge or demo account in two stages.

In the end, you have to pass three challenges, and if you succeed, they will give you a 100k live account. Once you receive it, if you really make a profit in the live account, you can withdraw up to 80% of the profits in the account.
If you don’t want to participate in the competition, the alternative is to buy a 100k challenge for $1,000. You need to pass its two challenge stages to get the 100k live account.

This can be attractive to someone who doesn’t want to pay $1,000 but is confident in their good strategy and good mindset.

Yes, and since it's free many people just join. They average 70k traders monthly, also a good way to push some people to buy an account.
