Dear Trader

Thank you for requesting the Forex Auto-Detector alert utility for MetaTrader4.

First things first...

Please bookmark this page for future reference - press "Ctrl + D" now!



Second...

You are going to need a good brokerage - especially one that does not get upset just because you are inconsiderate enough to win on a very regular basis!  For this reason, we have spent a long time reviewing different brokers and now have one very firmly at the top of our list for a number of reasons:

  • "Raw" market spreads (no mark-up, unlike 99% of other brokers)
  • Extremely low trade commission (just $3.50 per full lot per side)
  • True ECN trading facilities (they do not trade against you)
  • Based in Europe (in one of the most financially stable countries - rated higher than even the UK!)
  • Scalping fully supported (provides far greater trading flexibility)
  • Hedging fully available (provides even greater trading flexibility)
  • High leverage available (up to 300:1)
  • FIFO not applicable (First In, First Out stops many EAs from being used)
  • Incredibly simple account opening process (some accounts opened in just minutes!)
  • Wide selection of funding options (Wire transfer, Visa, Mastercard, MoneyBookers)

...PLUS great customer service - all in all, the ideal brokerage for any sensible trader!

Forex Auto-Detector MT4 Alert v1.00
(released 21st January 2010)

Installation Notes

Please read through these installation notes carefully before downloading the Auto-Detector software...

The Forex Auto-Detector MT4 Alert is a specialized piece of software that has been designed to assist traders who use the MetaTrader4 trading platform.

Its purpose is to alert you whenever either of the following common issues arise:

  • your instance of MetaTrader4 loses its connection with your broker's server

  • your instance of MetaTrader4 has not received a price tick for a specified period of time

When either of these situations occur, the Auto-Detector software will sound an alarm, pop up a warning box and, optionally, send you either an email or an SMS.

 

Installation via the installer is very straightforward...

  1. Download the Auto-Detector installer to your Windows Desktop

  2. Locate the Auto-Detector setup icon on your desktop and double-click it using your left mouse button

  3. Accept the license agreement...


  4. The installer will examine your system and should locate all copies of MetaTrader installed on your computer, as shown...


  5. Add and/or remove MetaTrader installations from the list as required by using the Add and Delete buttons

  6. Click "Install" and the Auto-Detector software will be added to each listed installation of MetaTrader4...


  7. Now simply start (or restart) MetaTrader, find any available chart (or open a new one) and add the FxAutoDetector (which should be listed in the Expert Advisors section of the Navigator panel) to it.


The Forex Auto-Detector EA has very few settings as you can see:



We suggest that you leave most settings at their default values but should you wish to change anything then this is an explanation of each setting:
  • TickDelay
    This is the maximum period of time between price ticks before triggering an alert

  • SoundFile
    This is the name of the sound file to use for audible alerts

  • AlertRate
    This is the rate (in seconds) at which audible alerts repeat

  • SendEmail
    If set to to True and your email/SMS account settings have been configured in MetaTrader4 (go to Tools-Options-Email), the Auto-Detector will send an alert message

  • LeftSpace
    This is the distance from the left edge of the chart to display the normal Forex Auto-Detector status information



When operating normally (Expert Advisors must be enabled), you will see a status display similar to this:



The status display shows:

- Local time (your computer clock)
- Server time (your broker's time)
- Since last tick (how long since the last price tick was received)


In the event of a server disconnection or excessive tick delay, a warning dialog similar to this will be displayed on your screen:



In addition, the audible warning will repeat and, if enabled, a warning message will be emailed / SMSed to you.

Once the issue has been resolved, you will see the following updated notification:
