EA to email new orders... like a signal EA

  • #1
  • First Post: May 11, 2010 6:47am May 11, 2010 6:47am
Does anyone know of an EA that will email all new orders to a specified email address and only new orders?

The reason I ask is because I'd like to start posting all of my trades to twitter using twittermail (just an email address that allows you to email posts to twitter).

Before you ask, no I'm not running a signal service. I just like sharing my trades. I used to post them manually, but it's too much damned work.

That should be easy enough to make. Give me a day or two.

Do you need just market orders, or are we looking at pending orders including the possible cancellation of the orders?

Also need a brief outline of the text of the email you would like. Do you require only 1 or multiple email addresses?

1 email address and all orders. Cancellation or closing would be nice as well. The text should just say something like "GBPJPY buy order opened @ PRICE, SL, TP." or "GBPJPY buy stop order placed @ PRICE, SL, TP."

Noting too fancy and thank a million for the help.

Here you go............

I assume you know how to configure you platform to send email.

At this stage it will report when a pending order is placed, but it does not report when that order is met and converted to an actual trade. This can be done in V2 along with any mods and possible more detail on pending trades that are deleted, if required.

I can't be sure it is bug free as I can't test every situation, but please report any bugs here and I'll take care of them.

EDIT : This version has bugs. Please use the v2 posted at #6

Hi there,

Actually, that one is a little buggy............

Here is v2 which is more advanced and provides far more options. You can customise the level of data you wish to send out, including trade results and balance/equity information.

v3 will be available, maybe tommorrow, which will have execution of pending orders detection and notification as the main improvement.

Once again, please report any bugs here.

Ok, here is v3........

As indicated previously, the only difference is this one will detect when a pending order has been converted to a trade.

I also refined the reportiing routine that it will detect mutiple trades even within the same tick, so be careful when using this with your grid trader that opens 200 pending orders at once, you gonna get 200 emails.

Apart from the twitter uses envisaged by the profxtrader, this is pretty nifty for monitoring trade activity on your account via email.

Settings are as follows :-

Show_Screen_FeedBack.....comments on the chart showing EA activity & settings.
Show_Account_Detail......places broker, account number and account name in the email subject line. Helps if you trade multiple accounts.
Show_Equity......will provide balance and equity info whenever a trade is closed.

The following 5 settings allow you to select which types of trades you recieve an email about(should be pretty self-explanatory) :-
Show_Market
Show_Pending
Show_Executed_Pend
Show_Closed
Show_Deleted

Expanded_Order_Info......provide some extra data like ticket number and datetime stamp.
Show_Trade_Result......shows number of pips on trade close.
Show_Profit......shows the profit/loss in account currency. Is forced to false if Show_Trade_Result is false.
Mail_Retry......if there is an error sending the email, it will try this many times before giving up. This one may be subject to future revision as I am uncertain how MT4 treats failed email, whether it 'stores' them for future sending, or just ignores it.

Please report any bugs here.

The only thing I've noticed is that the order symbol is always the chart it's attached to not the order symbol of the actual trade. See the attachment. All trades are GBPUSD because it was attached to a GBPUSD chart. It would be nice to only have to have it attached to 1 chart, and it send the correct order symbols. Thanks again for your hard work!

You know... I may not have been. Let me make sure I'm running v3 and I'll get back to you.

OK, it is running correctly (v3). Can I make one suggestion for a mod (for me at least)?

Can the trades not be sent with a SL and TP of 0, but rather just held until they have them in place, then sent? I realize that this is not for everyone, but I always put my SL and TP in. Since I trade with a STP broker my orders go out @ market with no SL or TP and I immediately have to modify them to put in my stops and targets. The EA sends them out before I have a chance so on Twitter you have this:

Good suggestion, I hadn't thought of that.

Give me a day or two and I'll come up with a fix.

profxtrader,

Here you go. There is now a setting where you can select the delay before the email is sent to allow time for setting of stops.

It will wait for the selected number of seconds and will then perform another check of the SL & TP and if it is still 0, will leave them out of the email altogether.

Set the delay to 0 to use like before where it will send the email immediately.

Into my list of freely available and useful EA.
Really effective for those who claim to be "The TRADER" but are not. They would be hesitent to use this.
Nice work. Good luck with your trading aim mate (saw your UC site)

Nice to see you around forexsaint. I don't know if you remember but we used to chat a lot on skype. At any rate... I'm posting all of my trades to Twitter now.

To kennyhubbard: Is it possible to have the EA also send modifications to trades? E.g. if I tighten my stoop or extend my target, can it send that?

OK, and it's completely quit sending orders. I don't know why. Test emails get through to Twitter no problem. I have it attached to a GBPJPY chart (or do I need it attached to all?) with the following settings:

Hi,

Ok, will work on the order modification emails. Give me a day or two.

Not sure why it has stopped sending the mails? A bug probably but try reset. I take it that it was sending correctly to start with?

It should operate on any chart but let me know if you made any recent changes, also perhaps the details(ordertype) of the last trade that it sent and whether there were any other trades in the current trades tab(pending or current).
