I have been struggling to get the EMA cross indicator to work for months because I keep getting bombarded with text messages
. For now I am just using this site for EMA alerts
alert!fx™ - foreign exchange (forex) alerts.
Getting Metatraders email setup was VERY difficult but I finally got it. Not only do you have to configure the email settings in MT but you also have to setup your local email client (outlook express or outlook) to send mail using POP3. I think you said youru using yahoo so I am not sure it they support sending/receiving mail using the POP protocol. Hotmail makes you pay for it but Comcast, gmail, cavalier all work great. Essentially
MT uses the local POP3 settings to send the message. See the post below on another forum for many threads with details on how to setup email in MT. You might have to register if you haven't already.

Also, speaking of indicators, does anyone know where I could find one that alerts when a 5EMA and a 12EMA cross? Being new, the easiest way to learn for me is just to mess with stuff and try different things. Thanks!
