How to read the Journal to trigger an EA? 'MqlJournalInfo' - undeclared identifier error.
I don't see any mqlJournalInfo structure listed at Data Structures - Constants, Enumerations and Structures - MQL5 Reference - Reference on algorithmic/automated trading language for MetaTrader 5.
However, I do see a free and highly detailed web-based solution at:

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to create an EA that reads messages from the Journal (e.g., "GBPJPY diver for BUY") to trigger a trade. I've tried using the JournalRead() function with the MqlJournalInfo structure, but I'm getting the compiler error: `'MqlJournalInfo' - undeclared identifier'.
The strangest part is that I have asked several other users on this forum to try and compile sample code with this function, and they all get the exact same error.
Could someone please provide a simple and working code example that demonstrates the correct way to use JournalRead ? Which #include files are truly necessary, or what is the correct procedure for the compiler to recognize the MqlJournalInfo structure?
Thanks in advance for your help.
