Alerts sent to MT5 app

douglas14 2020.08.24 14:37

Friends,

With Metatrader 5 open on my desktop I would like to receive notifications in the app (for certain conditions, example, SMA crossings, etc)

I have tested the push notifications for the APP (the standard test) and it worked.

But my coded alerts do not make any push notifications in my mobile app. What would be the problem ? Is there a specific line of code that communicates with the mobile app ?

int Handle_A=iMA(_Symbol,PERIOD_M1,50,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN);
⋮
CopyBuffer(Handle_A,0,0,21,Buffer_A);

Perhaps you should read the manual, especially the examples.

They all (including iCustom) return a handle (an int.) You get that in OnInit. In OnTick (after the indicator has updated its buffers,) you use the handle, shift and count to get the data.

William Roeder:

Thank you, maybe your suggestion could make my code more efficient.

But the real question regards communication with the MT5 app... How to make the alerts notificate the app in the smartphone (android) ?
