Trade event monitor

I was looking for an event monitor EA type that can run on one chart but monitor ALL trade events in the terminal and came across this one:
http://codebase.mql4.com/3844

Thing is from what i can see, it doesnt actually monitor simple trade entries ?

Basically what i want is to be notified when a trade is opened, closed, modified (stop,take profit etc).

Im sure someone has done this before but the above is the only one ive found and im not so sure its the best ?

Can anyone advise,

thx

most alerts are generally triggered by the code that places, modified, closed, or deleted orders and not from a second ea. What would be the purpose of having another ea to trigger alerts ?

EDIT[or are you look to do something like this in the screen shot? This is done with a seperate indicator and not an ea. Cant show the trade tab as theres not trades to show and the market is closed right now. the shot shows the lotsizing mouse over tab.]

yeh i mean i guess something like that might do - basically i want to be able to notify at least via email of each trade operation as they happen.

So not after anything on screen as such, but i thought it would be easier to have a separate EA running on a different chart as that will monitor the current terminal anyway -basically as my link attempts to do albeit i dont know if its the best option ..

Normally, most people code the alerts and email etc.. right after the order is open/closed right at the time the order ticket number is received from the server. within the code that placed the order. Unless you are creating exteam performance records and order logs its generally easier and quicker (that is receive the alert) to do it within the original code.
