How to send an email once an Expert Advisor places a trade?

  • #1
  • First Post: May 2, 2009 4:36am May 2, 2009 4:36am
I can send a test email fine from mt4.

But I would like an email once an Expert Advisor places a trade. Is there a little line of code I could include in the EA. I would just like the subject of the email to be the pair traded, buy or sell and price traded.

Then another email would go when the EA closes with the pair traded and exit price.

I have looked here and elsewhere before posting this but I can't find the answer. Most focus on how to send email in mt4 generally. I've managed that.

Thanks in anticipation.

Yes sir, I know that as I said above. But thanks anyway.

So, I ask again, is there a little line of code I could include in the EA so that the EA sends the email.

Is there a way to attach it to the chart without it forcing the removal of the EA I'm trying to monitor then please?

If not, would it work if I opened a separate chart in the same pair and attached it there. Do you know if that would work please? Thanks for such quick replies BTW.

Hi there,

I found the attached in my "tool box". I have never used it but it might be what you need so check it out.

It looks like it will work for exits. Thanks goingforward. I'll see if I can modify it to work for the open as well.

Back to the drawing board then because I can't seem to edit goingforward's suggestion and make it work.

So, if any kind soul can assist then the question remains as to how to get an email once an Expert Advisor places a trade. Is there a little line of code I could include in the EA. I would just like the subject of the email to be the pair traded, buy or sell and price traded.

Then another email would go when the EA closes with the pair traded and exit price.

Thanks again to both contributors so far.

I wish I could modify it for you but I am not a coder. I am sure that one of a number of great coders here will do it for you sooner or later.

I'm not a coder either. I just muddle through as best I can. But I must say that I'm not too hopeful.

The reason for my pessimism is that this question has been asked before here and elsewhere and on all the threads concerned, some of which are at the bottom of this page, the question remains unresolved.

C'est la vie. I am waiting. And hoping.

I am prepared to pay for this now to anyone that codes me what I want. Or someone that finds me what I need.

Of course, I need to be able to get it working.

I can pay by bank transfer in the UK or PayPal worldwide. Please don't PM me. I would prefer an open discussion here. Just pop in a price and we'll negotiate or I'll just agree.

The code can be posted here because after it works I'll pay for it and then share it free.

Any offers please?

      return (true);
   }

No one is allowed to put themselves out for hire publicly on this forum. Any such transact must be conducted privately. PM is the way to go

Rule #3: Commercial agendas tend to compromise the integrity of forum discussions and are therefore not permitted. If you make money by servicing Forex traders in any way, shape, or form, or have any commercial agenda whatsoever, you are NOT permitted to post in the forums regardless of whether your posts are promotional or not.

This is a one off request - look at my post history - so the commercial agenda rule does not apply. I have none.

I am allowed to ask for help. And offer an incentive. I do not make money by servicing Forex traders in any way, shape, or form. So IMO this request is allowed. No doubt Merlin or Scott will pop in later and tell me I'm incorrect. If this is the case then I'll abide by their ruling.

In the meantime any further offers of assistance will be appreciated. And thanks for the code above which I'll attempt to work with later.

You have to read it the other way around. I did not say you can't request for help or offer an incentive. I'm saying no programmers are allowed to give a quote publicly. In doing so, that programmer may get banned because he or she will be violating Rule #3 which you've quoted.

you're refusing PM, and I'm telling you, programmers can only send you PM if they are offering a quote. I'm not doing you a favor, I'm just reminding the others not to get themselves needlessly banned. Programmers are already in short supply here.

regards,
Zen
