Alert when Auto Trading is turned off

[Eddi Rae Melton]

I am trying to notify users that they have turned off their Auto Trading.

Is there a way to send an alert and a Print message when the Auto Trading is turned off in an Expert Advisor?  If so, where would I place the code?

Thanks!!

1. Perhaps you should read the manual.
             Common Functions / Alert - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5

2. Perhaps you should read the manual.
             Checkup / TerminalInfoInteger - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5

   ENUM_TERMINAL_INFO_INTEGER

   Identifier	Description	Type
   TERMINAL_TRADE_ALLOWED	Permission to trade	bool

3. Where do you think? In OnTick.

I have the Alert in the OnDeinit for when the user closes the Expert Advisor or the Chart Window for an element.

When I turn off the "Auto Trading" as the top of FOREXer, the OnDeinit does not run.

You are right!!  At the beginning OnTick(), I placed the following and it keeps on alerting until the Auto Trading is turned back on.

if(!TerminalInfoInteger(TERMINAL_TRADE_ALLOWED)) 
   {
      Alert(my4CastObj.GetSymbol(),":  Auto Trading is turned off!!");
      Print(my4CastObj.GetSymbol(),":  Auto Trading is turned off!!");
      return;
   }   

Thanks so much!!

Of course not.  Perhaps you should read the manual. Where do you see the button in the reason codes?
