Little help on my first project please

[First_Project]

Hi

Sorry for my very messy. I watched lots if YT videos and been searching to mix and match the code to do the things I want but so far I cant seems to fire it.

Background info:
There is a pop-up "Alert" window and inside the window there will be text either "up" or "down"
If "Alert" window is "up", i want it to click it on certain places vice versa.

Below is my humble code that I got so far:

Quote

   While 1 ;to loop
         If StringInStr(WinActivate("Alert"), "up") Then ;to search if the alert window has "up" msg
            WinActivate ("Alert")
            Send ("ENTER") ; to close the alert window
            MouseClick ( "left",354, 237, 1, 10)  ;to activate the 44189 window
            WinWaitActive ("44189")
            MouseClick ( "left", 358, 294, 1, 10) ; coordinates for 03. Click "CLOSE ALL TRADES" ONCE
            MouseClick ( "left", 159, 314, 1, 10) ; coordinates for 04. Click twice at "GBPJPY" ONCE
            MouseClick ( "left", 74, 293, 1, 10) ; coordinates for 05. Click once "TRADE" ONCE
         EndIf

         If StringInStr(WinActivate("Alert"), "down") Then ;to search if the alert window has the "down" msg
            WinActivate ("Alert")
            Send ("ENTER") ; to close the alert window
            MouseClick ( "left",354, 237, 1, 10) ;to activate the 44189 window
            WinWaitActive ("44189")
            MouseClick ( "left", 358, 294, 1, 10) ; coordinates for 03. Click "CLOSE ALL TRADES" ONCE
            MouseClick ( "left", 159, 314, 2, 10) ; coordinates for 04. Click twice at "GBPJPY" TWICE
            MouseClick ( "left", 74, 293, 1, 10) ; coordinates for 05. Click once "TRADE" ONCE
         EndIf
      WEnd

This is what alert window looks like:

 

Here is the window info of the "Alert" window around the "down/up" area:

Quote

>>>> Window <<<<
Title:    Alert

Any help/ pointers would be greatly appreciated and thank you very much for taking time to read this.

@First_Project, welcome to AutoIt and to the forum.

this is obviously a monitoring program which you are trying to manipulate. now, any decent monitoring program should be able to perform an action (send email, at least) when a monitored element is down. why won't you use that feature?

Its actually for trading platform MT4 and when there is alert I have to manually do the trade myself and I want to do the trade while I sleep also. Hence, not sure if monitoring program is helpful or not but i just want the script to click few buttons when there is alert.

Do you have any suggestion for monitoring program so i can have a look. I can do similar thing with the mt4 platform but the learning curve is just too high. Hope you understand. 

Do you also mean that it cant be done with autoit?

i'm not so certain about that. setting an "Action" for an "Alert" in MT4 seems quite simple, according to this article at-least.

regardless, as long as the elements of the window are recognizable by AutoIt, manipulating them should not be so complicated, as demonstrated in the prior post.
