Push Notifications

The MetaTrader 5 app for iPhone supports push notifications. Push notifications are short text messages that can be sent to your device from the PC version of the trading platform, and from various services of the MQL5.community.

Push notifications are very important. This option allows traders to keep abreast of the latest updates. An Expert Advisor running in a desktop platform can notify a trader about the emergence of a new signal. The trader receives the a notification in the mobile device and can make a trading operation through the MetaTrader 5 for iPhone.

During installation of MetaTrader 5 for iPhone, a unique identifier called MetaQuotes ID is assigned to each user. This identifier is used like a phone number. Knowing it, various applications can send messages to the user.

Push notifications are received by the device regardless of whether the MetaTrader 5 application is running or not. All that is needed is the cellular connection.

Push messages are displayed in the notification center of your device:

The entire history of push notifications is stored in the MetaTrader 5 for iPhone and can be viewed at any time:

Specify MetaQuotes ID in your user profile at MQL5.community and in the trading platform in order to receive notifications for important events in the community, such as new comments, publications, applications in the Market, and much more.
