On this article we’re going to set up Metatrader for email sending. This is recommended so you don’t miss important messages happening to your account.

Getting a password from Google

If you want to connect your Google email account, you have to generate a new password for Metatrader. To generate a Google password:

1. On the GMail page click on the Apps menu at the top right corner and then click on Account.

2. Select Security on the left menu and then click on the 2-Step Verification link located under the How to sign in to Google section.

Make sure 2-Step Verification is On for App passwords to display.

3. Go to the bottom of the page, and click on App passwords.

4. Add a new App by using the selection boxes at the bottom and click the Generate button.

5. Google will create a new random password. Copy it. You will not be able to see it again. If you lose it, you will have to create a new one.

Connecting MetaTrader

On MetaTrader go to Tools > Options > Email and enter the following information:

• SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
• SMTP login: your-email@gmail.com
• SMTP password: your-password
• From: your-email@gmail.com
• To: your-email@gmail.com

Make sure you use the password generated in the previous step.

Press the Test button to confirm everything is ok.
