Forex Easy Email Plug-in for MT4 Expert Advisor Builder

Forex Easy Email Plug-in For MT4 Expert Advisor Builder

Send an Email from any Expert Advisor using any Email Provider (including Gmail)

The Forex Easy Email Plug-in allows you to send emails with Price Chart attachments from any Expert Advisor using any Email provider, such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc., etc.

The MetaTrader platform has a nice email function named SendMail.  But sadly, the SendMail function will not work with a Secure (SSL) connection.  And just about every email service provider uses a secure connection.

The Easy Email Plug-in does not use the MQL SendMailfunction.  It uses its own functions specifically designed to work with secure connections and almost every email provider that exists.

As you may know, my Expert Advisor Builder (Visual Traders Studio) is a free-range, drag and drop EA builder. VTS generates MQL code from the drawings that you create.

Attach a Screenshot of the current Price Chart to your Email

So, how do you make your EA attach a screenshot to your email using the Easy Email Plug-in?  It’s pretty easy: You check a box!

There are 3 methods that can be used to send an email using the Easy Email Plug-in.
You can send an email from any Element
You can send an email using the Communication Manager
You can send an email by dragging a Function from the Toolbox

The Communication Manager allows you to send emails based on Events, like:
When the EA is started
When the EA stops
When a trade is opened
When a trade is closed
When your Account Balance goes above or below a certain level

And remember, attaching a screenshot of the price chart to your email is as easy as checking a check box.  This attaches the current price chart, including any indicators you have drawn on that chart, and sends it right to your own email box. This feature works great with mobile devices.

GrayBox Code: Mostly Visible Logic
Yes, I made up the term Gray-Box.  The MQL code function fnSendEasyEmail is fully visible.  Actually, this function serves as a great tutorial of how an MQL Element function can be created and used in VTS. (The MQL Element is a very powerful concept).  The fnSendEasyEmail  function itself relies on a external library written in C++.  You probably don’t want to see this code anyway!  The C++ code creates and manages the secure connection with your email service provider.

Function & Logic Power Plug-in for MT4 Expert Advisor Builder

Power Package Plug-in for MT4 Expert Advisor Builder

Use Advanced Trading Techniques with a Simple Mouse-Click

 

The Power Package Plug-in allows you to implement advanced techniques on your Logic and Function Elements.

Most logical conditions in an Expert Advisor follow a simple if-then structure. But sometimes you need more.

And usually,  getting the value of a technical indicator is good enough to build your EA.   But again, sometimes you need more.

As you may know, my Expert Advisor Builder (Visual Traders Studio) is a free-range, drag and drop EA builder. VTS generates MQL code from the drawings that you create.

With the Power Plug-in you can apply more conditions to your logical statements and you get more out of your technical indicators.

Qualify Your Logical Conditions

Suppose you want your EA to check for a cross over condition, but only once per bar.  Or once per minute.  Or, suppose you want to check for the price to breakout above a channel, but you want the price to break the channel 3 times before you open an order.With the Power Package, you can apply these advanced techniques to any Logical condition. When you configure a Logic Element, the Power Tab allows you to define:
Logic Evaluation Frequency
This option allows you to define how often a Logic is evaluated:
  • On every Tick
  • Once per Bar
  • Once per Hour
  • Once per Day

Minimum Required True Count

This options allows you to define how many times a Logic must evaluate to True before being considered True:

  • Once only
  • Count per Bar (where Count is any number)
  • Count per Hour
  • Count per Day
  • Count per Run

Maximum Required True Count

This option allows you to define how many times a Logic is allowed to evaluate to True:

  • Unlimited
  • Count per Bar (where Count is any number)
  • Count per Hour
  • Count per Day
  • Count per Run
These Logical conditions are easily connected to an open or close trade function. Don’t want to open a trade? No problem. You can just as easily sound an alert, or send an email when the logic is True. This is done with a few mouse clicks on the Message Tab in VTS.

 

The VTS Power Package Offers Functions You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

Get More from Your Technical Indicators
When you configure any of the multitude of MetaTrader built-in technical indicators, or even your own custom indicators, the Power Tab allows you to do more.
Channel value  This option allows you to get the Highest or Lowest value for an indicator from a channel of any size.  For example, you can get the highest RSI value from the last 24 bars.  (This in itself is a pretty good open-trade signal.)
Trending value  This option allows you to test if your indicator is trending Up or Down over any number of bars.  You define how much the value has to rise or fall.  You can even throw some bars out if they don’t obey the trend!
Average value  This option allows to compute the moving average of any indicator over any number of bars.
White-Box Code: 100% Visibility of the Logic
The inner-workings of each of these techniques is fully visible. The generated MQL code is there for you to view, or even edit if you like.
