Alarm robot that emails once per order

Hi guys,
I am using MT4 email alarms - my email box alarm me with SMS message about new mail - so in the result I have got SMS alarms from the MT4.

I found something like this:
https://www.mql5.com/en/market/produ...ll_description

Alarm EA - that is alarming You every time any order is open or closed.
For me - very nice - no more ASK/BID problems or spread calculations.
EA is working fine - sending alarm emails.


But.....
There is one problem - as I quickly realised - it is sending 15 or 16 alarm mails every alarm.
Every open/closed order - You have got machine gun shooting You with tons of SMS messages.

In my case - it is going to be 400 to 600 SMS messages a week.
(and I have VPS as a backup to double trade and of course alarming software - so in case of EA running also on VPS it is going to be over 1000 SMS messages a week)

You can not modify the number of alarm emails beeing send (as mq4 file is not available).
There is also a paid version of this EA - but also there is no option to change the number of alarms running on single order.


Does anyone has something like this - but sending only one alarm mail every open/closed order?

How a product available on the MQL5 market place (even freely) can have this kind of issue ... Weird it got accepted by Metaquotes.

This is obviously a coding issue ...

Well- it is probably not a coding error - I guess

You can have with this EA - sound alarm for example (you can choose in options of EA what kind of alarm you want and at what interval ) - so 15 or 16 dingdongs every 2 seconds are fine.

It is just one option in settings that is missing - how many alarms you want to have on single trade.
It is always 16
I am starting to feel sorry for my mobile

I`ve managed to contact the author of those EAs - but unfortunately he is not working on those scripts anymore and he will not send me mq4 file so I can change it myself.

I was looking for some other alarm robots doing the same thing - sending an alarm mail on opening/closing trade - so far, no results.

It is quite weird (although I am not very good in mql programming) - as it seems to be quite simple EA - just sending an email on closing or opening trade.

Why not to give the mobile version of mt4 / mt5 a try? Use the push notification instead of sms.

Jibala

Do I need to have access to some mobile internet all the time to keep it working 100% all the time and messaging instantly? (Sorry for my ignorance - but i didn`t use mobile mt)

I need something that I can rely on 100% (and I live in the country where beeing in range of mobile internet is not an obvious thing)

SMS messages informing about email alarms send from VPS - are working so far perfect, instantly and never failed.
So - as I tested automated alarming - I would generally prefer to keep it working that way - just without manually setting alarms anymore.

Of course - with no progress with the EA (so far nothing) - I will try push notification, as You proposed.
But with problems of beeing in range of mobile internet - i will have no choice but to rely on SMS messaging

I found another alerting EA (MQL attached) - and it has the same problem - every open/changed trade it is sending a bulk number of emails.

The thing is that if You have those EAs running for example on 15 charts - they will send 15 alarm emails on every open/closed trade.

And it looks like all notifying EAs have the same problem - working on several charts they will send several emails on single alarm.

Does anybody has any idea how to solve this problem?

I know the solution.

And it is really trivial.

To have those alarming EA`s working - it is enough to start them only on one chart (and it can be any chart).

They are taking care of orders - not what is going on chart.
Only one instance of those alarming EA`s is needed in one metatrader to keep it working fine.
