We think that there are many people who are using MT4 and are using automation and trails in EA etc.
Have you ever wanted to be notified via LINE that EA will automatically acquire and settle positions?

Here, we would like to introduce an EA that notifies such people of the following information to LINE and e-mail.(Free / no ad notifications)
※Due to the API used to notify LINE of information, it cannot be realized with Indicator, so it is implemented in EA.

NOTE：Please note that it is prohibited to redistribute the EA / Indicator published on this site without permission.(There is no problem with linking to this site)

2. how to use

2-1. Advance preparation

Advance preparation is required to notify LINE and e-mail.
If you use only LINE notifications, please use only LINE notification settings. If you use only e-mai notifications, please use e-mail only. If you use both, please prepare in advance.

2-1-1. Notification to LINE Advance preparation

To notify LINE, use the official LINE “LINE Notify“.
An access token is required for notifications, so please refer to Qiita’s [超簡単]LINE notify を使ってみる to get it.

The remarks when acquiring an access token are as follows.

Token name：Anything will be fine.(In the TOP image of this site, it is an example when “MT4” is set.)

Talk room to send notifications：It can be in the talk room, or you can set it for yourself.

Make a note of the issued token somewhere.
Set this token when setting up the EA.

Once you get the access token, the next step is to set up MT4.
When making LINE notifications, we use an API called WebRequest in MT4, but it is necessary to set the API to allow notifications to LINE Notify.

Open “Tools”-> “Options” of MT4 and open “Expert Advisor” tab.
In the setting screen, check “URL list that allows WebRequest:”, add “https://notify-api.line.me/api/notify” as shown below, and click OK.

That’s all the preparation required for LINE notifications.

2-1-2. Notification to e-mail Advance preparation

Before you can send e-mail from EA, you need to set MT4 E-Mail.

First, open the options screen by selecting “Tools”-> “Options”.

After opening the options screen, open the Email tab.
On this screen, check “Enable” and set the sending address and server information, and the e-mail address you want to receive notifications by e-mail.
You can send a test by pressing the “Test” button to see if the settings are correct.

After completing the settings, press the OK button and let MT4 remember the settings.

The Chart that adds the EA can be anything.
This EA works by referring to the transaction information on the “Trade” tab and “Account History” tab of MT4, so even if you add it to the Chart of any currency pair, it will be applied to all currency pairs of the logged-in account. In response, notification processing is performed.
