Review

If there is no connection, the indicator will notify the trader by email or push message to the smartphone, and the indicator can also record in a CSV file the time when the connection was interrupted and when the connection was restored. After installing the indicator in the terminal, an image of the mini computer will appear in the lower-left corner. If you click on this image 3 times, the terminal settings will be tested and test messages will be sent.

Advantages

The indicator was written for the purpose of notifying the trader about disconnecting the trading terminal from the broker's server. This can happen for various reasons: reconnect, Internet disconnection, server restart, and others. The indicator notifies the trader of any problems that have occurred. In a critical case, if there is no Internet, the indicator will notify the trader as soon as the Internet appears. the indicator will send the time of disconnection and the time of connecting the terminal to the trader. Trading on the real world often get rekkonekt (short-term loss of communication with the broker) at a certain point, I got tired of it and I decided to compare the work of 5 brokers and find out who is to blame for the broker, provider, VPS hosting or something else. Installing the indicator on all the terminals and turning on logging I found that my broker has a leaning reconectar.

Algorithm of operation

After setting the indicator in the lower left corner you'll see the computer icon, green color - connect is red - no connection. A triple click on the icon will send test messages or inform you about incorrectly made settings of the MetaTrader 4 terminal. A comment on the icon will show the number of connection interruptions since the indicator was launched. By running the indicator on the terminals of different brokers and enabling Logs CSV = On, the trader can compare entries in log files for reconnect.

Profitability

The indicator does not trade automatically, so the yield depends on the knowledge and skills of the trader.

Recommendations

Use the indicator on multiple terminals. This way you can see whether the connection was broken on all terminals or only on one.
