The Alert Forwarder is no longer available for MT5. Changes to MT5 mean that it is no longer possible to read the Experts and Journal logs. An MT4 version remains available.

The main purpose of the Alert Forwarder is to add email, SMS, Twitter, and push-notification alerts to MT5 EAs and indicators which do not offer this themselves. For example, if an EA or indicator generates an alert on screen then the Alert Forwarder can turn it into an email or a push notification.

The Alert Forwarder scans the MT5 Experts log, looking for entries which match the conditions you give it, and sends out any matching log entries via your choice of email, SMS etc.

The app can also be used to scan the MT5 Journal, generating alerts about events such as disconnections or failed orders.

In addition, the app can be configured to take screenshots of its chart when an event is detected, allowing later diagnosis of problems, inspection of trade set-ups etc. For example, you can use it to take a screenshot of an indicator's chart whenever that indicator writes a particular entry to the MT5 logs.
