Here’s a step-by-step guide to receive mobile push notifications with MQL5 (MetaTrader 5)
1) Install the MetaTrader app
-
Get MetaTrader 5 on your phone.
-
Open the app once so it generates a MetaQuotes ID.
2) Find your MetaQuotes ID (on the phone)
-
In the MT5 mobile app, go to Settings → Messages (or Settings → Chat and Messages).
-
Copy the MetaQuotes ID shown at the bottom.
3) Enable notifications in MT5 desktop
-
On your PC, open MT5 → Tools → Options → Notifications tab.
-
Tick Enable Push Notifications.
-
Paste your MetaQuotes ID.
-
(Optional) Tick Notify of trade operations if you want fills/SL/TP messages.
-
Click Test to send a test push to your phone.
4) Allow notifications on your phone
-
In your phone’s OS settings, ensure MetaTrader 5 notifications are allowed.
-
Disable any battery optimization that may block background notifications.
-
Make sure Do Not Disturb/Focus isn’t silencing alerts.
5) Keep the terminal online
-
For alerts generated by indicators/EAs/Alert tools, the desktop terminal must be running and connected.
-
If you need 24/5 delivery, consider running MT5 on a VPS.
6) Use with Alerts Manager
-
In Alerts Manager, when creating an alert, select “Mobile Notification” as a delivery channel.
-
No extra mobile tab is needed—delivery is handled by the MT5 terminal’s notification settings you set in Step 3.
7) Quick troubleshooting
-
No test push? Recheck the MetaQuotes ID, internet connection, and that notifications are allowed on the phone.
-
Still no alerts? Confirm the MT5 terminal is online, the alert condition actually triggers, and Mobile Notification is ticked in Alerts Manager.
-
Multiple devices? Each phone has its own MetaQuotes ID—add each ID in Tools → Options → Notifications if you want pushes to multiple phones.
You’re set! Create or trigger an alert and you should receive it instantly on your phone.
