How many alerts can I receive at once?

New comment
 

I know there is a maximum to how many notifications I can be sent at one time. Is there a limit to the number of simultaneous alerts you can receive?

I am asking because I created an indicator to send an alert to my computer and a notification on my phone if certain conditions are met.

I am currently running the indicator on 30 separate pairs and I am worried that I may not be notified of every met condition because of the notification limit.


Any help is greatly appreciated,

Morgan Bradley.

I don't think that there is a notification limit.

Anyway, I don't think that these conditions of yours will be met in all 30 pairs at the same time, are they?

In the MQL4 reference it states limitations.

It is very possible that I may get five or six indications at once.

Use global variables for a collective notification?

If you know it, why are you asking ?

Strict use restrictions are set for the SendNotification() function: no more than 2 calls per second and not more than 10 calls per minute. Monitoring the frequency of use is dynamic. The function can be disabled in case of the restriction violation.

I am unsure on how they are enforced. I have received multiple notifications at once that seemed to have went against the limit of two.

Are they not enforced if my code does not have a #strict property?

I am unfamiliar with global variables. How might a collective notification benefit me in this case?

Once notification per minute with all information instead of all notifications with one information.

property strict has nothing to do with that.

The rules is about sending notifications, not receive.

Yeah I should have worded it as sending notifications, every notification i receive are from notifications I am sending in the program.

So does property strict affect sending notifications and would removing the strict property do anything?
