need different type of market order, anybody know???

New comment
 

dear traders,
Instead of placing a typical order at a price level, i would like to use lines as order instructions, for example, if i have a down trend parallel price channel, using the lines that i used for drawing out the down trend, when the price touches resistance/support, i want to buy or sell.
anybody know of this.
also i need the same idea for an alert.
i need a free alerts service that send me email, from there i can set up email to send me text message.
i have treid alertfx, which is free, but i need a broad range of different type of alerts, including one that alerts me when one of my resistance/support gets touched by the price

regards billy

to have the email alert, do i still have to have VPS????

 
All you need for the native MT4 email alert facility is:
- implement the SendMail() function in your EA
- have access to an SMTP server (auth handshake supported but SSL is not)
- set the email parameters up in the email options in the MT4 platform

No you dont need a VPS, any MT4 terminal connected to the trading account will do
As CB says though, you do need an SMTP email address to send from and a separate address to send the mail to

I expect that your ISP can provide SMTP server access for you. They probably have help pages to set it up
