What it does
Sends alerts, opens no trades

When we open, you will be able to open this robot in the builder, change what you like and check it. Join the waitlist and we will email you once.

Price Level Alert in the builder: its 3 blocks, in rows. When: Price crosses level, 1.1000, up or down. Then: Email, EURUSD crossed 1.1000; Alert, a pop-up in MetaTrader.

The rules, in plain words

Each rule is one or more blocks in the builder. Every number will be changeable before you check the robot.

When
Whenever the bid price of EURUSD crosses 1.1000, upwards or downwards.
Then
It sends you an email through MetaTrader's own email settings, and shows an alert in the terminal. It opens no trades.
Safety limits
None are needed, because nothing is traded. The builder adds safety limits only to robots that open trades.

What it does not do

Every robot here does only what its blocks say. These are the things people often expect from a robot that this one does not do.

Price Level Alert

Not this

  • It never opens, changes or closes a trade.
  • It watches one level. Add more blocks for more levels.
  • An email arrives only if you have set up email in MetaTrader (Tools, then Options, then Email).

Build it, test it, get it

When we open: open the robot in the builder, change what you like, and press Check. Then test it on past prices in your own MetaTrader 5, and get it for your accounts.

Questions about this robot

More answers on the questions page.

Can it watch a different price or symbol?

Yes. The level and the symbol are blocks you change in the builder. Add a second level block for another price.

Can it send a message to my phone?

Yes. Swap the email block for a push block. Push messages go through MetaTrader's own notifications, which you set up once in the MetaTrader phone app and in the desktop app (Tools, then Options, then Notifications).

Does it need the account lock?

Every robot you get from us is built for the account numbers you name, this one too. On any other account it shows a message and does nothing.
