I receive no log in the journal when modifying the "Stop if Equity is less than..." value (MT5).
Is it normal? Why is there no log?
There are not entries in the MT4/5 terminal or MQL5 VPS Joural log when adjusting signals settings.
Is there a way to receive alerts (push notification, email or SMS) when the "Stop if equity is less than..." feature is triggered AND when the equity falls below the threshold (in case the built-in equity SL does not work)?
I ask this because with recent and future builds, most functions return (or will return) empty data (build 4150).

There is no such option from the Signals service, but you may search for alternative utilities that can serve that purpose.

I developed an EA to send alerts and close positions/orders if the "Stop if equity is less than..." feature fails.
Do I need to enable "Allow modification of Signals settings" for the EA to close trades from the signal provider, or is that only for changing signal parameters?

As MQL5 documentation writes:
- Allow modification of Signals settings — this option allows an MQL5 application to subscribe and unsubscribe from Signals, as well as edit signal settings. The functions for accessing the database of Signals from an MQL5 application enable you to perform your own analysis of the quality of signals, dynamically manage the subscription and adjust risks. More details about the signal managing functions are available in the MQL5 Reference.

https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/algotrading/trade_robots_indicatorsSince build 4150, we can no longer interact with the signals service through the SignalsXXXX functions, so why does the "Allow modification of Signals settings" option still exist? Does it actually work for anything now?
Also, if my EA closes all positions when equity falls below a certain level, won’t the signal synchronization just reopen those positions instantly? That would make the EA useless unless it can pause or stop the signal, which, from what I understand, isn’t possible anymore due to the signals functions being abolished, correct?
