Hello this is Mark from tradinformed.com and welcome to this video on How to
set up MetaTrader4 to get Android and iPhone push notifications. Now most of us
use push notifications to find out about social media replies email alerts or
news alerts but as traders we could also use them to get trading alerts in this
video I'm going to show you how easy it is firstly to set up push notifications
on your smartphone or tablet and then secondly how we can use this
with the help of a simple expert advisor to get trade alerts when our trade is
setting up now the first thing you need is to is download and install the
official MetaTrader4 app this is available in the iTunes App Store or the
Play Store download and install this and then login to your Metatrader 4 account
and once you logged in you can go to settings on the app you can go to
settings messages and here you will find your metaquotes ID now this is a number
that enables you to link your the app with your terminal so once you've got
this number you can just go on to Tools Options Notifications click to enable
push notifications and then enter your metaquotes ID in the box, if you click
on test you will get a test push notification just to check that
they are correctly linked now this is useful and you're just having
this you will get push a notification when a trade has been entered or closed but
if you want to do a little bit more you can use what I'm going to show you now
which is a simple Expert Advisor to identify trading opportunities most of
us haven't got time to sit in front of our charts all day long and so we can
use these push notifications for example to show us when a technical indicator is
showing that the market has a trading opportunity for us now this is the
simple EA that we can use to do this and I'll just go on here and show you how
easy if you're not used to using expert advisors it really is as simple as
dragging it onto the screen now this expert advisor is set up to do push
alerts but also to send an email now if you're interested in getting alerts to
via email I do have a video about getting how to set up metatrader4 to get
email alerts and there is a link on the screen at the moment to this video and
you can select whether or not you want to have each particular type of alerts

indicators programmed in already and you can insert any indicators you like in
