I have an MT4-EA but no code of it. The EA is working fine - but sensitive to news...
So, my idea would be to create a new EA that just watches news. and reference the other EA inside the new one. when news get active i just want to disable the other EA and when its over to resume it.
is this somehow possible? or another idea? can i referenve another ea to run within another including their input values?
tried not much yet... im looking for ideas to solve this issue before creating tons of code...
ANSWER: ... found a solution Its not possible to "control" another EA - but.. You open, close a chart by using a template. other EA can be applied and chart saved as template. the other EA can then just open/close the chart with template.
long id = ChartOpen("EURUSD",PERIOD_H1);
ChartApplyTemplate(id, "TemplateName.tpl");
Based on the last suggestion in this thread maybe you could have one EA keeping an eye on a newsfeed and creating files with instructions that can be read by the second EA.
Plz keep us updated if any progression!
