Is it possible to display the Alert window manually?

<p id="isPasted">One way is to use a script. Put the attached file in ../metatrader/experts/scripts and run it when you need to open up the alert window.</p><p><a href="https://www.forexfactory.com/attachment/file/669096?d=1301315945" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">mq4 alert.mq4</a></p>

<p id="isPasted">In MetaTrader 4 and 5, there is no native button or menu command to manually reopen the pop-up Alert window once it has been closed. However, you can use these workarounds to view your alerts or force the window to reappear:&nbsp;</p><p><strong>1. Use the "Alerts" Tab (Standard View) </strong></p><p>While this isn't the pop-up window, it is the official manual way to manage and view all your set alerts:</p><ul><li>Press Ctrl + T (MT4) or Ctrl + T (MT5) to open the Terminal/Toolbox.</li><li>Click the Alerts tab at the bottom.</li></ul><p>Here, you can see the list of active alerts, their conditions, and how many times they have triggered.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>2. Force the Pop-up to Reappear (Script Method) </strong></p><p>Because the platform doesn't have a "reopen" command, many traders use a custom script to force the window open.&nbsp;</p><ul><li>How it works: These scripts (like the Show Alert Window script) issue a "dummy" alert to the system, which automatically triggers the pop-up window to show your alert history.</li><li>Installation: Place the script in your MQL4/Scripts or MQL5/Scripts folder and drag it onto any chart to run it. </li></ul><p><strong>3. Check the Logs for History</strong></p><p>If you accidentally closed the pop-up and just need to see what the alert said:</p><ul><li>Experts Tab: Go to the Experts tab in your Terminal/Toolbox.</li><li>Log Files: Right-click anywhere in the Experts tab and select Open to be taken to the log files on your computer. These text files contain a permanent record of every alert and message generated by the platform for that day. </li></ul><p><strong>4. Test an Existing Alert</strong></p><p>To see the pop-up window immediately for testing purposes:</p><ul><li>In the Alerts tab, right-click any existing alert and select Test. This will trigger the alert action (sound/pop-up) instantly so you can verify the window's appearance. </li></ul>
