Updated this week

Yes, you can receive trade alerts on the MT5 platform offered by FXTRADING.com. There are multiple ways to set up and receive alerts to stay informed about market conditions and trading opportunities.

Setting up alerts directly in MT5:

  1. Desktop platform method:

    • Right-click on the chart or in the "Market Watch" window

    • Select "Trading" → "Alerts" or press Ctrl+T

    • Click "Create" to add a new alert

    • Configure your alert conditions (price level, indicator value, time)

    • Choose your notification method (sound, email, push notification)

    • Click "OK" to activate the alert

  2. Mobile app method:

    • Open the FXTRADING.com Trader app on your mobile device

    • Navigate to the desired market chart

    • Tap the "Alerts" icon (usually a bell symbol)

    • Set your alert parameters

    • Save your alert settings

Types of alerts available:

  • Price alerts: Notify when an instrument reaches a specific price level

  • Indicator alerts: Trigger when technical indicators meet certain conditions

  • Time alerts: Activate at predetermined times (useful for economic releases)

  • Event alerts: Notify about account events like order execution or margin calls

When setting alerts on your MT5 desktop platform, you can receive push notifications on your mobile device or tablet by ensuring that:

  1. You have the FXTRADING.com Trader app installed on your mobile device

  2. You're logged into the same account on both platforms

  3. Push notifications are enabled in your mobile device settings

Trade alerts can significantly enhance your trading experience by allowing you to react promptly to market movements without constantly monitoring charts.
