Post From: Execute Script in MT4 from SC Alert

Hello all! I understand variations of this request have been posted before, but I don't see any breadcrumbs I can follow to accomplish my goal.

I have indicators in SC which are triggering an alert for me. I'd like to execute a script in metatrader 4 when the alert is triggered. The options I've been informed about so far are to create an EA in mt4 which listens for the alert. If this is the "best" route, what options does sierrachart give for sending data from alerts to 3rd party programs? If anyone has a link for this please let me know!

The only other option I'm looking at is a nasty workaround which can't be the best solution. I'll create an EA which reads the Alerts Log for sierra chart and when a new alert is logged, the EA will execute accordingly. That will get messy but it's doable.

If anyone has a quick or easier solution for this, please let me know! I'm simply trying to have a script in MT4 fire when an alert in SierraChart is triggered.

Thank you in advance for all your help everyone!
