MetaTrader Expert Advisor for Position Change Alerts

Summary

This document describes a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor that monitors position events and reports changes; it does not initiate trades. It uses the platform's trade-transaction event handling and covers openings, reversals, closings, and Stop Loss or Take Profit triggers. Alerts can be shown on screen, recorded with sound and journal information, or sent by email, depending on configuration. The page also notes that the monitoring function can be integrated into another Expert Advisor.

There are clear limits to the event reporting. Order modification and deletion are not handled. Stop Loss and Take Profit identification relies on broker comments, so brokers that alter those comments may yield only closing and financial-result information. Email requires suitable terminal settings, and message localization depends on language files. This is a position-monitoring utility description, not a trading strategy or evidence of trading performance.

Key ideas

• The Expert Advisor reports position changes but does not create trades.
• It handles openings, reversals, closings, and Stop Loss or Take Profit events.
• Users can configure alerts, sound notifications, or email messages.
• Order modifications and deletions are outside its stated coverage.
• Broker comment changes can limit identification of Stop Loss and Take Profit triggers.
