Best Way to Alert/Notify/SMS/Email to Mobile Device

Hi, Dear Mighty Fellow Traders:

I start this thread to learn and discuss any reliable technical means for real time notifications sent to our mobile devices (MAC or android) by VPS or a home PC.

I've been using metatrader 4 'push notification' on two of my android phones, but it seems awful. When the phone screen turn black (sleep), then push notification usually can't go thru. Only when I 'wake up' the phone or even run the MT4 app on phone will the push notifications come thru then. I did set my phone's WIFI 'always on'. But my phone doesn't have a data plan, is that the cause of the missing or delay?

How are your experiences in push notifications? never miss any and no delay?

in addition to push notifications, what other means do we have? I look forward to some alert or notifications like SMS or emails too, if push is not satisfactory.

Many thanks in advance.

has anyone have experiences using TradeStation app on mobile device? is the alert function working reliably?

how about netdania app?

it is driving me crazy, lol......

1.Open your phone's cell internet not wifi.
2.Run MT4 on your android phone be sure you have data transmission with your forex-broker.
3.If it doesnt function then update your Android version of MT4 and try again.
4.If everything is okay you can test it.
Open Pc and MT4
Click right mouse button on chart window.
On trading submenu you will see trading.
Click it and on the second submenu there will be line named alert.
Click on alert.On the chart window you will see alert sign.
Right click it and on submenu click change.
Instead of sound change it to notification.
Then click on test button.
It takes only 5 seconds that you hear alarm from your phone even phone is in sleep condition.

Use the Fxblue EA.
I think it is called Trade Talk or something like this.
It is pretty complete.

If you can't pay for SMS, you can always use IFTTT to transform your email alerts into SMS alerts for free.

many thanks, so it looks like due to my cell phone has no data feed from carrier. i've been using wifi only recently.

well. do what I said. Send email alerts to GMAIL.
Than use IFTTT to transform email alerts in SMS alerts.

Alright, man, i'll apply your idea for sure. Many thanks！ May you pips!
