Can I receive trade alerts on MT5?

Set up MT5 desktop alerts and send push notifications to the MetaTrader 5 mobile app using your MetaQuotes ID.

Yes. MT5 desktop can create market alerts and send push notifications to the MetaTrader 5 mobile app. This is separate from the FXTRADING.com App; installing that app or using the same trading account does not configure MT5 push delivery.

For official downloads, sign in to the Client Portal and open Service Hub → Download Center. Select the MetaTrader 5 version for your device.

Create an alert in MT5 desktop

  1. In the English interface, open View → Toolbox (Ctrl+T), then select Alerts.

  2. Right-click in the Alerts tab and choose Create, or press Insert. Set an available price or time condition and the required action, such as Sound, Email or Notification.

  3. Configure the selected action, then click OK. Email alerts also require email settings. Keep the desktop terminal running for locally generated alerts.

Receive push notifications on mobile

  1. Install MetaTrader 5 on your phone, allow its notifications and find your MetaQuotes ID in Messages.

  2. In MT5 desktop, open Tools → Options → Notifications. Enable push notifications, enter that MetaQuotes ID and use Test to check delivery.

  3. For a market alert sent to your phone, select Notification as its action. Notification settings for trade transactions are separate; server-side availability depends on the broker.

These are MetaTrader 5 instructions. They do not describe an Alerts bell in the FXTRADING.com App. Menu names may differ with the MetaTrader interface language.
