WHAT IT DOES
The EA detects trade events through two independent mechanisms: the OnTradeTransaction handler for real-time detection, and a periodic deal history scan as fallback. A deduplication system ensures you never receive the same notification twice, even if both mechanisms trigger on the same event.
Supported notifications:
— Trade opened: symbol, direction (BUY/SELL), volume, price, SL, TP, magic number, deal ticket
— Trade closed: symbol, volume, close price, gross P/L, commission, swap, net P/L, updated balance
— SL/TP modified: old and new values displayed side by side (e.g. SL: 1924.00 → 1926.50)
— Pending orders placed: type (Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Stop, Buy Stop Limit, Sell Stop Limit), price, volume
— Position reversal: new direction, closed P/L
— Deposits and withdrawals: amount and updated balance
— Periodic account summaries: balance, equity, free margin, floating P/L, session P/L, open positions, day high/low equity, drawdown percentage
— Connection and disconnection messages with session statistics

MESSAGE STYLES
Minimal — compact single-line format:
XAUUSD | BUY | 0.50 lots @ 1928.45
Detailed — structured with labeled fields:
TRADE CLOSED
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Symbol: XAUUSD
Close: SELL (close BUY)
Volume: 0.50 lots
Price: 1935.20
───────────────────
Gross P/L: +$340.00

Emoji-rich (default) — same as Detailed but with Unicode icons for each field. Trade opens show a green circle for BUY and red circle for SELL. Closures show a checkmark for profit and a cross for loss.
FILTERS
The Magic Number filter is particularly useful if you run multiple EAs on the same account. Set it to the magic number of a specific EA to only receive notifications from that EA. Set it to -1 to receive everything (including manual trades).
The Symbol filter accepts a comma-separated list: "XAUUSD,EURUSD,GBPUSD". Only trades on those symbols will generate notifications. Leave empty to monitor all symbols.
ACCOUNT SUMMARIES
Periodic summaries include: balance, equity, free margin, number of open positions, total floating P/L (including swap), session P/L since the EA was started, day high equity, day low equity, and drawdown percentage calculated from the day's high.
Useful for prop firm traders who need to monitor daily drawdown limits remotely. Set the interval to 1 Hour during active sessions.
ON-CHART DASHBOARD
A compact status panel in the top-left corner of the chart shows:
— Connection status: CONNECTED (green) or DISCONNECTED (red)
— Bot username
— Running counters: messages sent and failed
— ExMachina tagline
The dashboard uses the ExMachina steel palette by default (background C'8,10,18', accent C'0,180,220') and can be customized or disabled via the Display inputs.
HOW TO TEST
Step 2: Open a small market order manually (e.g. 0.01 lots EURUSD). You should receive a "TRADE OPENED" notification.
Step 3: Modify the SL or TP of your open position (right-click → Modify). You should receive a "SL/TP MODIFIED" notification showing old → new values.
Step 4: Close the position. You should receive a "TRADE CLOSED" notification with P/L breakdown.
Step 5: Place a pending order (e.g. Buy Limit). You should receive a "PENDING ORDER PLACED" notification.
Step 6: Remove the EA from the chart. You should receive a "Disconnected" message with session statistics.
Quick browser test: to verify your token and chat ID before using the EA, paste this URL in any browser (replace the placeholders):
Quick smoke test script: save this as a Script (not EA) in MQL5/Scripts/, compile, and run on a demo chart:
#include <Trade\Trade.mqh>
void OnStart()
CTrade trade;
trade.Buy(0.01, "EURUSD");
Sleep(3000);
for(int i = PositionsTotal()-1; i >= 0; i--)
if(PositionGetSymbol(i) == "EURUSD")
trade.PositionClose(PositionGetTicket(i));
Important: this EA does not work in the Strategy Tester. The Strategy Tester does not support WebRequest (network calls). The EA must run on a live or demo chart with internet access.
RUNNING ALONGSIDE OTHER EAs
Use the Magic Number filter to limit notifications to a specific EA.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No messages received:
2. Verify Bot Token and Chat ID are correct (no extra spaces)
4. Check the Experts tab (View → Toolbox → Experts) for error messages
EA shows INIT_PARAMETERS_INCORRECT: Bot Token and Chat ID are both required. Make sure neither field is empty.
Dashboard not showing: make sure "Show Dashboard on Chart" is set to true in the EA inputs.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
— Trade detection: dual mechanism via OnTradeTransaction (real-time) + deal history polling every 2 seconds (fallback)

— SL/TP detection: position snapshot array compared on every tick, triggers on any change
— Connection test: /getMe endpoint called on init to validate token and retrieve bot name
— Summary timer: EventSetTimer(60) checks if the configured interval has elapsed
