How to Get Instant Email Alerts When Your MT5 Disconnects

Introduction:
For forex traders using EAs (Expert Advisors), a stable connection is everything. But what happens when your VPS reboots or your internet glitches? Every second of downtime could mean a missed profit or an unmanaged loss. In this guide, we’ll show you how to set up real-time MT5 disconnection alerts.

Method 1: The Built-in MT5 Notification (Limited)

MT5 has a built-in "Notifications" feature under Tools > Options. You can enable push notifications to your mobile phone.
The Catch: It only works if the terminal is still running and has a partial connection. If the entire terminal crashes or the VPS goes dark, MT5 cannot send an alert because it is offline.

Method 2: Third-Party Monitoring (The Reliable Way)

To solve the "Total Blackout" problem, you need an external "Heartbeat" monitor. This is where Power MT5Guard comes in.
Server-Side Check: An external server pings your account status every 60 seconds.
No Hardware Dependency: Even if your computer is smashed, our server knows you are offline.
Instant Email: You receive an alert the moment the sync stops for over 5 minutes.
Conclusion:
Don't leave your capital to chance. Set up your MT5Guard account today and trade with peace of mind.
