I think it's as simple as adding a one-liner below the Ordersend() command:

 

PlaySound("alert.wav");

 

That should do the trick.

If you also want a pop-up window:

 

Alert("text");

And the interest is to alert one Meagdroid open one new trade.

I looking for some kind of alert sound. I mean it is not necessary to be in Megadroid EA.

Hi C@sh-flow,

 

Good day,

 

I'm sorry for the late reply.

 

well, let me tell you one thing. Each indicator or EA has a different way how to add an alert to it. Also, it is mainly based on the signals start and end.

 

You need to be precise so we clear up the idea of how to add an alert.

 

I can show you an example if you so you can understand something at least and see how it goes, what do you say??

 

please let me know as soon as possible.

 

Best wishes,

C@sh-flow,

 

It's really easy. See my post earlier.

 

1. Open the EA (if you have mq4) in MetaEditor and look for OrderSend function. For version 1.2.1, it's is on line 445.

 

2. Add a one-liner below the Ordersend() command:

 

PlaySound("alert.wav");

 

Then click on "compile" in the MetaEditor.

That should do the trick.

Or if you want a pop-up window and sound:

 

3. Add this below the Ordersend() code line:

Alert("Order Opened by MegaDroid");

 

Now when this is done, everytime an order is opened, you will get a Sound or an Alert box popping up.

Hi San4x,

 

Good day,

 

Thanks for your great post.

 

However, just one quick question, did you try the function play sounds " " one line below ordersend function??

 

I guess if you tried it, you would find something strange.

 

And for the Alert comment, I'm not yet sure about it. I guess it is more than that.

 

I would love to invite you to drop by the MQL programming sub-forum whenever you have time so we can discuss a lot of things. Maybe you have skills I don't have so we can exchange knowledge and info.

 

I hope to hear from you again.

 

Best wishes,

Hi,

 

Good day,

 

I meant did you use the function so that you can see it working this way or not?? The reason why I'm asking is that when you use alert or play sound functions you need to add some conditional coding otherwise, it would keep alerting for no reason. You can try it yourself and let me know how it goes. Take any EA as an example and add either the alert or play sound function and see how it goes.

 

I guess it is clear now my friend ;) , isn't it??

 

Thanks for your reply.
