In order to get notifications/alerts from your MT5 trading platform for certain events on the market or account, there are two tools available on MT5 which are “Push Notification” and “Email Notification”.

There are differences between “Push Notification” and “Email Notification”.

Push Notification

By enabling the “Push Notification” option on MT5, you will receive notifications of all successfully executed trades in the relevant account to your mobile phone.

To activate this, you need to install MT5 mobile app on your Android or iOS device, then you will get your own MetaQuotesID by the app.

Then go to “Tools” → “Options” → “Notifications”, and check the “Notifications” box and type the MetaQuotes ID in the required field.

With the “Push Notification”, you will receive notifications on your mobile phone, but you will not receive any emails or messages to other apps on your phone.

By adding an EA or Script with “PushNotification” function, you can be notified of any events on the market or accounts, other than the successfully executed trades.

Email Notification

“Email Notification” option of MT5 requires “SMTP server” of yours.

SMTP stands for “Simple Mail Transfer Protocol”, and it is basically a computer which receives and sends emails.

As a MT5 platform doesn’t have its own domain or a program to send emails to other email addresses, it is necessarily for you to prepare a SMTP server to enable this option.

In order to receive email notifications from MT5 platform, you also need an EA or Script that command this email notification.

To setup this option, go to “Tools” → “Options” → “Email”, and fill in the below required fields.
