I run EAs on my home machine and log in and monitor the trades with the PDA... it works for me.... The next think I need to figure out is how to get an EA or Indicator to send me either an SMS or an E-mail... have not got this working yet

Good Luck

Its easy - just set up the smtp settings in the email tab of the options screen in the MT4 platform and then in your EA use the SendMail(subjectstring,messagebodystring) function. If you do use any significant amount of email functionality in your EA, you'll find yourself concatenating the content from various parameters all over the place and the email functionality will form a significant proportion of your lines of code.

HI

I have a short question. I'd like to trade via Smartphone (Metatrader 4 Mobile Smartphone Edition).
My question: Can attach an expert advisor from my mobilephone or is that only possible with the Terminal.

Thank you very much for your answer

Bye Thomas

It cannot run any EA’s or a Custom Indicators - period. MetaQuotes has no intention of making Custom Indicators or EA’s available for the MT4 Mobile Platform. This is their quote: “About MQL4 support (ie Expert Advisors and Custom Indicators support): for now we are not planning to do it. At least not in MetaTrader 4 Platform. ~ Lenar

Not good news

Bye
