Stop Alerts on Loading

I am trying to figure out how to stop alerts from popping up and emails being sent when i first open MT4.

I remember seeing some code that included a function OnLoading() that basically did this but i cannot recall where.

The alerts and emails work well in my indicators but it is annoying when i first open MT4 and it wants to fire off a whole bunch of emails or alerts.

I thought about using IsConnected() but while that will stop the alerts when i first fire up MT4 I assume that as soon as I connect that it will then send them. The other idea I had was to use UninitializeReason() in the init function and based on the reason to not fire alerts.

Any help would be appreciated.

Why can't you find out what's triggering the alerts and force an 'amnesty delay'.

E.G.

init()

{
datetime NextAlert = TimeCurrent() + 3600;
}

Then for every instance of alert:

if(NextAlert < TimeCurrent()) Alert...

That's what i like about reading your posts.

Simple, elegant and always correct.

I declared NextAlert globally and put the nextAlert= in the init function and then put the condition in the start function.

Appears to be working at this time.

Thanks.

You might want to change the 3600 (number of seconds) to something shorter.

Yes, I had already done so but I do appreciate you looking out for me.
