Setting Chart-Time Alerts Before Candle Closes

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

The document describes a chart indicator that sends an alert at user-selected times. Its example uses a chart based on GMT server time and sets a reminder for five minutes before an H4 candle closes, with the alert time interpreted in local time. Users can configure as many as six time slots and choose whether each alert is enabled.

Available notification methods include a popup, sound, email, push notification, or a message in the platform’s Experts window. The description focuses on setup and alert delivery; it does not explain the indicator’s implementation, how local and server time are reconciled, or whether alerts are reliable across platforms. It provides no testing results or trading performance evidence, so the tool is best understood as a timing aid rather than a trading signal.
