How to read alerts in MetaTrader 4/5

You can get alerts by using AdvancedNotificationsLib. Do import that library by putting the next piece of code:

enum ServerType
{
   SelfHosted = 1, // Self-hosted
   WSS = 4, // ProfitRobots.com (secured)
};
#define LISTENER_STATUS_DISCONNECTED 0
#define LISTENER_STATUS_CONNECTING 1
#define LISTENER_STATUS_CONNECTED 2
#import AdvancedNotificationsLib.dll
void AdvancedAlert(string key, string text, string instrument, string timeframe);
bool StartListener(string key, int serverType);
bool StopListener();
int ListenerStatus();
string GetNextMessage();
#import

This library load alerts asynchronously. It cal load alerts for 1 key only.

Call StartListener in the initialization of an expert to start loading alerts for the specified key.

Before getting an alert check for the status by calling ListenerStatus. If the status is LISTENER_STATUS_DISCONNECTED then connect again.

Call the GetNextMessage in a loop. Each call will return a new alert. An empty string will be returned when there will be no more alerts.

Call StopListener in the deinitialization of an expert.

bool connect_sent = false;

void DoConnect()
{
   StartListener(You read key, WSS);
   connect_sent = true;
}

int OnInit()
{
   if (!IsDllsAllowed())
   {
      Alert(Error: Dll calls must be allowed!);
      return INIT_FAILED;
   }

   EventSetTimer(1);
   if (ListenerStatus() == LISTENER_STATUS_DISCONNECTED)
   {
      DoConnect();
   }
   return INIT_SUCCEEDED;
}

void OnDeinit(const int reason)
{
   EventKillTimer();
   StopListener();
   connect_sent = false;
}

void OnTimer()
{
   if (!connect_sent && ListenerStatus() == LISTENER_STATUS_DISCONNECTED)
   {
      DoConnect();
      return;
   }
   string command = GetNextMessage();
   while (command != )
   {
      ParseAndExecuteCommand(command);
      command = GetNextMessage();
   }
}

You can use order_executer if you the one who sends these alerts into the channel. Just send alerts in this format. order_executer can parse this syntax and execute orders without any coding.
