Send Notification Question

New comment
 

I want to send a notification to my phone whenever there is an opportunity for a trade.

It seems that all I can send with the SendNotification function is just a text message - which is different from the SendMail function.

I trade on 10 different pairs.

Is there any way that I can send the Currency Pair (Symbol()) and perhaps the Time included in the text message?

you can put what you like in the text message

How is it different? All you can send with SendMail is a text subject and a text message.

 

In SendMail I have code like the following in another EA that works:

         SendMail("Momentum System BUY trade opened ", BuyCurrPair + " Date = " + TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE) + "; " + " Time = " +  TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_MINUTES) + "; " + "GMT = +3");

In this EA I am using the following code - but it does not give the Symbol() or other info. It just puts everything that is in the text (which makes sense).

         SendNotification("Trend-Magic SELL opportunity + Symbol() + TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE)  +  TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_MINUTES)+ TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_MINUTES)");

I am sure I am making some stuid error.

 
The quotes are misplaced, try this  

 SendNotification("Trend-Magic SELL opportunity "+ Symbol()+" "+ TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE)+" "+TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_MINUTES));
  


I fixed the quotes and added spaces between words for better formatting.

 
Suggest that instead of this:
SendNotification("Trend-Magic SELL opportunity "+ Symbol()+" "+ TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE)+" "+TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_MINUTES));

You can break it down for longer messages, note the line break for an easy to read txt...

string txt="";
txt="Trend-Magic SELL opportunity "+ Symbol()+"\n"
    + TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_DATE)+"\n"
     +TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(),TIME_MINUTES);

SendNotification(txt);

/* ==Result==
Trend-Magic SELL opportunity EURUSD.r
2023.07.25
08:30
*/
 

Thank you so much guys!

I am going to try Andrew's solution - that seems a nice format for all of my future notifications. 

I really appreciate your help!!
