Indicator to Trigger Signal Loss

Hi all,
I am trading with an EA that resets itself if the platform looses connection with the server.

I am looking for an indicator or EA that will display a popup and send an email when the connection to the server drops.

Thanks..Mike G.

any ideas anyone. I'll be glad to contribute to your PayPal account.

well...if there is no connection to mt4, then the ea can't know if the connection is on or off.

There is an IsConnected function. Problem is, if the internet is down, your EA will not get a tick of data to make it run and your email will not go out either. The IsConnected will have to run in a script in a timer loop. It can do a popup and also play a very loud wav file (assuming you are close to your computer).
If you are a long way away from your computer another possibility is to share a disk with a laptop on battery that has dial-up internet, but if the electricity is off to your main computer this has it's own set of problems. Assuming your laptop stays up and the dial-up outbound email works you can poll the #1 machine every x minutes and see if it is still alive. This can quickly get very complicated, but a simple setup like this can help a great deal.
The bigger problem is when you have an outage that is very short - just long enough for your EA to reset but not long enough to be noticed. Probably need to change the EA.

Another option is to check TimeCurrent() against TimeLocal().

But because of the tick problem, you would need this running in an infinite loop in order for this to work.

for (int i = 0; 1 == 0; i + 0) {

if(TimeCurrent() != TimeLocal(0 + (put the time shift in here)) Alert("There is a problem with the connection"):
}
