Finally Get MetaTrader 4 Price Level Alerts on
Multiple Devices at the Same Time

 

MetaTrader 4 price level alert indicator settings

Tick-tock, tick-tock…

As soon as a trading strategy setup prints on your chart, you only have a limited amount of time to act on the setup before it's too late. Once price moves too far, it throws off your risk-reward ratio and the trade isn't worth taking anymore.

That's where price level alerts can be a huge help. But there was something about MetaTrader 4 price level alerts that frustrated us…

The Biggest Problem with Built-In MT4 Price Level Alerts

MetaTrader 4 is great.

But let's face it, the built-in MT4 price level alert is pretty basic.

For starters, you can only send one type of notification at a time.

Built-in MT4 alerts

In today's hyperconnected world, why should you settle for only one method of notification?

You are setting an alert because you don't want to sit in front of your computer all day and watch the charts. But what's the point of setting an alert if there's a chance that you will miss it because you are away from your computer or phone.

An alert should hit all of your devices at the same time, so you don't miss a single setup. 

That's Not All…

The price level alert system in MT4 has a couple of other shortcomings that we found frustrating.

First, you cannot tell the alert system to only alert you when price closes beyond the alert level. Several professional trading strategies that we have seen rely on a solid close beyond a zone or key level. In these cases, the built-in alert system in MT4 triggers too many false alarms because it will send a notification on a touch of the price level.

Second, you cannot specify to be alerted when price trades above or below an alert price level. Some traders want to know when price doesn't breakout from a level. MetaTrader currently doesn't allow you to do this.

The Solution

To summarize, we found that the price level alert function in MT4 has three shortcomings:

  1. You cannot set more than one notification type at a time
  2. You cannot specify to be alerted when price closes beyond the alert level
  3. You cannot specify to be alerted when price trades above or below an alert level

So we asked our friends at Snapdragon Systems (SDS) to see if they could create a solution.

This is what they came up with:

Solution to #1 – Set More Than One Notification Type

The SDS indicator allows you to get notifications via desktop pop-up, mobile app push notification and/or email. Select one, two or all three at the same time.

Solution to #2 – Set an Alert on Touch or Close Beyond Alert Level

The SDS indicator allows you to specify if you want to get an alert if the price level is touched, or if it closes beyond the price level.

Solution to #3 – Set an Alert if Price is Above or Below the Alert Level

Finally, the indicator allows you to choose to get alerts when price is either above or below the alert level.

If you need one or all of these functions, then the SDS Price Level Alert indicator is a perfect addition to your arsenal of MT4 trading indicators.

No, you can only use custom indicators with the desktop version of MT4. So the best way to get alerts when you are away from your desk, is to setup an alert indicator like this on your desktop or laptop, then send the alerts to your mobile device.
