The idea of a utility adviser

When you open a position, the EA plays the specified sound ( Sound Name ), the specified number of times ( Repetitions ) with the specified pause ( Pause ).

One of the methods of application: put pending orders and do your own thing. As soon as one of the pending orders triggers, a sound will be played. If the position is closed, the sound will be played.

How events are caught: through the OnTradeTransaction function, we expect a transaction with the type TRADE_TRANSACTION_DEAL_ADD (adding a transaction to the history). Additionally, check that it was a deal or BUY or SELL. In the given Expert Advisor, OnTradeTransaction contains redundant code - but this can be used to expand the advisor's functionality - since all the necessary data has already been received and prepared.
