Do I have to have the MT4 platform running on the laptop at all times to get alerts to my phone
Yes
Yes
Hi all,
I wanted to pick your brains.. I set up notification alerts for my mobile app and tested it and it all worked fine on Thursday evening, I had the laptop open and was getting the alerts through on to my phone, however on Friday I went to work expecting the alerts to come through but I didn’t receive any, I had put my laptop on sleep mode before I left for work.
I then came home and opened my laptop and loaded up the MT4 platform and tested the alerts and it worked, I left the laptop open with the MT4 platform running and I set some alerts and I received those. I'm baffled as when the platform was running on the laptop the alerts came through but when laptop was in sleep mode I received nothing.
Do I have to have the MT4 platform running on the laptop at all times to get alerts to my phone, or should they still work even when the MT4 platform on the laptop is shut down or the laptop is in sleep mode?
Yes u have to always have ur mt4 running and since u can't keep ur laptop running 24/7, rent a VPS. It kind of clone ur laptop and gives u alert 24/7 even if ur laptop is shut down
Well, you should be ok with a VPS, but your question was about running an EA/Indicator on your laptop.
