NOTI - Notifications
Enabling and disabling of notifications
When operating the Trading Module Interpreter on a live chart it can provide updates on reached inspector limits and various reports on its latest performance and drawdown metrics. These messages can be displayed via the MetaTrader's expert tab or sent as emails through the built-in MetaTrader emails API. If you wish to modify the messages you'll get, you can adjust the following input parameters.
| Input variable within MetaTrader (Identifier in SET file) | Default value | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| > (NOTI) Protection (IN_enmNotiNotificationProtection) | ON | Numeric values usable in SET files: 0 - OFF 1 - ON |
| > (NOTI) Report daily (IN_enmNotiNotificationReportDaily) | ON | Numeric values usable in SET files: 0 - OFF 1 - ON |
| > (NOTI) Report weekly (IN_enmNotiNotificationReportWeekly) | OFF | Numeric values usable in SET files: 0 - OFF 1 - ON |
| > (NOTI) Report monthly (IN_enmNotiNotificationReportMonthly) | ON | Numeric values usable in SET files: 0 - OFF 1 - ON |
| > (NOTI) Report end (IN_enmNotiNotificationReportEnd) | OFF | Numeric values usable in SET files: 0 - OFF 1 - ON |
Notifications types and MetaTrader configuration
The input parameters discussed so far determine the information sent to you. In contrast, the following parameters define how this information will be delivered.
| Input variable within MetaTrader (Identifier in SET file) | Default value | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| > (NOTI) State logs (IN_enmNotiNotificationLogs) | OFF | Numeric values usable in SET files: 0 - OFF 1 - ON |
| > (NOTI) State mails (IN_enmNotiNotificationMails) | OFF | Numeric values usable in SET files: 0 - OFF 1 - ON |
The Trading Module Interpreter can relay information via the experts tab in your MetaTrader terminal view and through email. The first option, which can be enabled with the input parameters > (NOTI) State logs, is functional with both the tester and live variants of the Custom Expert Advisor. The second option > (NOTI) State mails allows the Trading Module Interpreter to send emails containing the same information, which is only available with the live variant.
By default, both options are disabled. The Trading Module Interpreter will not send or log extended reports.
This feature utilizes the built-in email API of MetaTrader to transmit the information. However, it requires the configuration of the email settings in your MetaTrader instance. These settings can be found in your MetaTrader's Tools - Options menu.
For email notifications, you can configure the settings under the Email tab.
Please refer to the relevant article for a detailed understanding of the necessary parameters to enable these features.
