Am really sorry if I stated it wrongly and it came out rudely. I need help with adding a code line for sending push notifications to phone. It already has alerts on the terminal. Again am sorry if I said it the wrong way.

Ismail Lemin:
Hey guys, can anyone please help me just edit this simple MQ4 indicator to send notifications to my phone when the size of the candle exceeds the set value. I will really appreciate it in advance.

It is quite simple to do.

You know how to do a pop up alert already

   string message="Signal";
   Alert(message);

For a push notification

   string message="Signal";
   SendNotification(message);

What part of "EDIT your original post, please do not just post the code correctly in a new post " was unclear to you? You did the exact opposite.
