Okay Guys and Gals,
I have searched all over the internet and it has amazed me that there is not one free EA or indicator out there that alerts you every time you make a trade, close a trade or update you. Warning this EA is not a finished product, but I am sure once it is finished it will look amazing.
So the idea behind this EA is to attach it to any chart and you will get a notification on ANY pair you trade no matter what chart the EA is attached to . Once attached it will alert you on any trades you have made, any trades you have closed, but also update you every 1, 5, 15, 30, 60 minutes depending on what timeframe you put the chart. It will send you an update for every new bar that is shown.
The Problem:
I am not a coder by an means. I just copy and pasted what looked best from each EA and put it together. The main problem is every time I get an SMS it does not show all the details. Is there a limit on how many characters I can get in my SMS. For each SMS I would also like to add “Account Balance”, “Account Equity” and “Free Margin” This should be displayed for “New Trades”, “Trade Details”, and “Closed Trades” no matter if its a buy or sell order. For me the more information I can get via SMS the better.
I think one of the problems is that an SMS can get a limited amount of characters depending on your carrier, (mine is Sprint and I think it is 160 characters) but it should split the messages into 2 or more. It is not doing this. I only get one message. Is there something in the code that is not making all details in the notification get into the SMS? Can you make the SMS into a multimedia text? Maybe this will be able to display all the characters…
What’s the difference between text messaging and multimedia messaging?
A text message has a limit of 160 characters. For longer text messages, your Apple iPhone 4 splits the message into multiple messages.
With multimedia messaging you can combine images, video, and audio with text in a single message
Can anyone take a look at the code and see if there is anyway to display all this information each time it sends out an SMS. I have taken the time to clean up and write the code and share it, just asking for a little help so we can share it with the members. Thanks.
