The alert function of MT4/MT5 is a function that sends notifications by e-mail etc. when the set price is reached. I think people who trade on XM use either MT4/MT5, but they don’t always have time 24 hours a day. By using alerts when you are out or doing other work, you can respond immediately even if there is a sudden market fluctuation, so it is a function that busy people should definitely use.
Advantages of the alert function
If you use the alert function, you don’t have to stick to the chart 24 hours a day. This is because they will let you know when the specified rate or specified time comes. When I’m commuting or working, I can’t just think about FX. The alert (alarm) function keeps an eye on the chart, so you can quickly proceed with trading when you receive a notification.

Push notifications from MT4/MT5 apps
Push notification is to notify MT4 or MT5 on your smartphone when the rate specified by MT4/MT5 is reached. There are three steps to receive push notifications from the smartphone app.
Enable push notifications for smartphone app
First, enable push notifications for your MT4/MT5 app. Go to “Settings” → “Notifications” → “MetaTrader4/MetaTrader5” and the notification setting screen will be displayed, so please turn on the notifications.
Get MetaQuotes ID with smartphone app
After enabling push notifications, open the MT4/MT5 app. In order to receive push notifications on your smartphone, you must obtain a “MetaQuotes ID”.
For iPhone, go to “Settings” ⇨ “Chat and Messages” and make a note or copy the “MetaQuotes ID” displayed at the bottom of the screen.
For Android, go to “Menu icon” ⇨ “Message” and write down or copy the “MetaQuotes ID” displayed on the screen.
Enable notifications on MT4/MT5
Finally, we will set it using MT4 / MT5 on the personal computer. Select “Tools” → “Options” from the menu bar. In the notification function tab, check “Enable push notification function” and “Notify trade processing”. Enter the MetaQuotes ID you obtained earlier in “MetaQuotes ID” below and click “Test”. If there is no problem with the push notification settings, a test push notification will be displayed on the lock screen or home screen of your smartphone.
