Sendmail Stop Loss/Take Profit Problem

Hi Guys,

I have a Expert Advisor with Sendmail function and it's working correctly when I open a new trade.

the problem is: when my Stop Loss or Take Profit is reached, I do not get a Sendmail notification.

Is there anybody who can help me with this problem?

I search all of the internet, but could not find a good solution.

Kind Regards

What is the code returned by Sendmail ?

Your MT4 platform email settings are correctly configured ?

Does the EA include code to send an alert when TP or SL is hit?

I think I am missing that code for TP and SL. I only get a message when a new trade is open!

There is no code to send a mail when a position is closed in what you posted, so of course you can't receive it.
