MEHMET FATIH BARUT:

Hi all

How can I send email to an email address in MQL5?

MQL5 Function: SendMail

Note

Sending can be prohibited in settings, email address can be omitted as well. For the error information call GetLastError().

SendMail() function does not work in the Strategy Tester.

MetaTrader 5 Setting: Email — email parameters for sending messages straight from the platform;

Mailbox is configured on this tab. These settings will be then used to send message by the Expert Advisor command or by a triggered alert.

Configure email notifications on the Email tab

Example: the adviser at the time of the birth of a new bar sends an email with the text "I'm alive!"
