Pending order notice possible?

How can I set MT4 to alert me (box or email) if a pending order has been executed?

Edit: I think only a script can accomplish this, am I mistaken? I don't believe there's a built-in way for this.

My bad, i just saw you wanted an EMAIL, not a noise.

If there's no email built in I'll try to script one, but a noise will do in the mean time. I haven't seen that either to be honest...

Put this at the top of the coding:

extern bool PlaySounds = True;

Put this after your pending order command:

if (PlaySounds) PlaySound("alert.wav");



EXAMPLE:

OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUYLIMIT, Lotslvl4, Ask-(42*Point), Slippage, StopLossLevel -(47*Point), TakeProfitLevel - 0.0047, "Buy", MagicNumber, 0, DodgerBlue);
if (PlaySounds) PlaySound("alert.wav");

I think threadstarter wants to alert only when the pending order is being filled (OP_BUYLIMIT -> OP_BUY), not when it's just placed. sadly if that's the case, this piece of code Jwentro gave won't work.

you'll need to store the ticket number in a variable, then poll through your current trade pool and keep checking if that particular pending order is no longer a pending order, then it'll play sound or send email. Not difficult. if you have problems with that, pm me.

zen, i believe you are exactly correct, and my coding wont work

(that code only alerts when a pending trade is made)

I believe you will be receiving a PM from the thread starter shortly
