Trigger Logic
📌 Detection Frequency: Once per hour, the trigger analyzes MT5 logs to detect logins that attempt to establish Datafeed Center or gateway connections to the trading server.
📌 Identified Accounts: If any suspicious logins are found, the account IDs are included in a trigger notification.
📌 Repeated Alerts: If the dealer does not process the notification, the trigger generates another notification after 24 hours.
