OnTrade() doesn't work in MT4. You could store previous open orders and check for actual open orders every tick, and compare them with previous value. Then, store again new actual value. Regards.

   int ticket=0;
   if(orderTypeID==OP_BUYLIMIT || orderTypeID==OP_BUYSTOP)
      ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),orderTypeID,lots,entryLevel,slippage,0.0,0.0,tradeComment,magicNumber,0,DodgerBlue);
   else if(orderTypeID==OP_SELLLIMIT || orderTypeID==OP_SELLSTOP)
      ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),orderTypeID,lots,entryLevel,slippage,0.0,0.0,tradeComment,magicNumber,0,DeepPink);
   
   if(ticket>0)
   {
      if(OrderSelect(ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES))
         Alert("Order ticket" + ticket + " has been opened);
   }

I think OP wants alert when pending order is triggered, not when it's placed. Regards.
