How to set up push notifications on MT4

To set up push notifications on MetaTrader 4 (MT4), you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Install the MetaTrader 4 mobile app: Download and install the MetaTrader 4 mobile app on your smartphone or tablet. You can find the app in the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).

2. Open the mobile app: Launch the MetaTrader 4 app on your mobile device and log in using your MT4 account credentials. Ensure that you use the same account as the one you're using on the desktop version of MT4.

3. Enable notifications in the mobile app: Once you're logged in, go to the "Settings" or "Options" section within the app. Look for the notification settings and enable push notifications. You may need to grant the app permission to send notifications on your device.

4. Enable notifications in MT4 desktop: Now, switch back to the MT4 desktop platform on your computer. Go to the "Tools" menu at the top of the platform and select "Options" or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + O.

5. Configure notifications in MT4 desktop: Within the Options window, navigate to the "Notifications" tab. Check the box that says "Enable Push Notifications" and enter your MetaQuotes ID (MetaQuotes ID is the unique identifier associated with your MT4 account).

6. Test the notifications: To ensure that the push notifications are working correctly, you can send a test notification from the MT4 desktop platform. In the "Notifications" tab of the Options window, click on the "Test" button. If everything is set up correctly, you should receive a notification on your mobile device.

7. Customize notification settings: You can further customize the types of notifications you want to receive by selecting various events or conditions in the "Notifications" tab. For example, you can choose to receive notifications for order execution, trade alerts, or price alerts.

By following these steps, you should be able to set up push notifications on MT4. Once enabled, you will receive real-time notifications on your mobile device for important events and updates related to your trading account. This can include trade executions, stop-loss or take-profit hits, margin calls, or other relevant information, helping you stay informed even when you're away from your computer.
