thanks for the interesting link. - However, SendMail (or some dll substituting SendMail) cannot be of any help. The aim is not to send something, but the aim is to get the content of the alert window. - Or can the SPEECHTEXT tool from CodersGuru read these messages (and output them as string instead of as voice) ? Or did I misunderstand your answer ?

Well I'm not sure if u misunderstand something. Mabye it was me
Anyway, all messages are stored in log file int the expert log directory (experts/log) but that messages are not stored there in the real time. I mean the metatrader stores there all messages when u close it. If he is still running he will store there the last x lines (not all lines).

I think there can be 2 solutions from this situation:

1) Make a ea that will write your alerts into an external file (by the standard file functions) then, make a program (eg. in c++ or any other language) that will read that file every 30 seconds and check if there was added a new line, if yes then it will send u this line.

OR

2) u can use for eg. mysql library and connect to database, then write all alerts to database and read it from any place on earth, in any time u want to.

Hope it helps u

is it possible to ask for an ea to be made?
i have a strategy thats simple i just need somebody to code it for me. im just not very familiar with coding and programming.
should i ask it in here if not please guide me to where i need to ask it and to who

thanks

Hi coders guru and everyone,

while using the crossalert on a considerably large timeframs, such as M30 and H1, it happens to the MA's to cross several times temporarily before the bar finishes, wich makes a lot of signals for the same breakout(wich is not yet 100% formed) , is there a function in MQL that limits the alerts to only one?, or a code that makes alert only when the bar finishes.
i will really apreciate your help, as i'm trading the breakout with several pairs, this will help me a lot.
thank you all.

U can make variable in global section like alertBar and then add to condition
if(Bars>alertBar and other conditions)
{
Alert("ALERT ME!!!");
alertBar = Bars;
}

Nested If statement - 3 Conditions

I want to code an ea to activiate during 3 different time periods. How would I set this up?? I am not sure how to code a nested if conditional statement in MQ4. Where is all the examples to follow to code this language??

The rough times would be between the following GMT times.

if you have given an EA or an indicator (the ex4 only, NOT the source),
and this EA writes some alerts into the alert window: what is the easiest way to get these alert messages into a string variable in realtime ? (The question is not how to WRITE an alert, that's what the alert() function is good for. I need to READ the alert. Also to write the alert message to a TXT file and read it from there is no solution, since exactly this message I do not have, so how should I write it ?)

int start()
{

int Live_accnt = 16540; //<-- type the user LIVE ACCOUNT here before compiling
int Demo_accnt = 1180321; //<-- type the user DEMO ACCOUNT here befor compiling
int accnt = AccountNumber();

if (accnt != Live_accnt) // || Does not work!!

if (accnt != Demo_accnt)
{
Alert ("Wrong owner account (" + DoubleToStr(accnt,0) + ")");

etc. etc.

How do I get the program to do a logic statement for either or? In this case above the security needs to accept either the Live_accnt or the Demo_accnt. How do I accomplish this. The " || " does not work as an or.

I really need your expertise on this! Thanks in advance.

If I understand u right, u want ea not to run if the account number is difrent than u specified in demo number or real number, so if account number will be difrent than 16540 or 1180321 the ea shouldnt work right? So the logic statement will look like this:

if (accnt != Live_accnt && accnt != Demo_accnt )
{
Alert("Wrong Account");
return(0);
}

or

if (accnt == Live_accnt || accnt == Demo_accnt )
{
//do my things
}
else
{
Alert("Wrong Account");
return(0);
}

Thank you many times over!!!!!! Really made my day. Someday, one day, hopefully before the rapture or I get as old as Moses, I may be able to be proficient at coding this language.
