Try click on the check box ... it should toggle on / off.

Strange. I'm using AxiTrader MT4 build 610, and the default setting for the Expiration checkbox appears to be off.

Other defaults I have are Timeout = 10 sec, and Maximum Iterations = 5.

I doubt that you can change any of these defaults, as they're most likely to be hard-coded into MT4.

Please try this IF YOU CAN DO IT. Unless ,reinstall fresh MT4.

- Open MT4 Data Folder from your MT4 Menu
- Close MT4
- Go to "config" directory , you will find the file : terminal.ini . Copy it and paste it here, you will get new file : terminal - Copy.ini
- Use Window 's Notepad to edit terminal.ini. Find (press Ctrl+F) the word " AlertEditor "
- Delete all lines that 's about AlertEditor .
For example :
AlertEditorLimit=5
Dlg_158_left=981
Dlg_158_top=405
AlertEditorAction=0
AlertEditorLanguage=0

- Save and close terminal.ini.
- Start MT4 and see if it helps.
