Hey Guys,

I'm a newbie and am thinking of learning how to write an EA.

However I'm just wondering whether it's possible to program an EA to run another EA?

Thanks

Not possible to directly load another EA. The closest you will get is to get an EA to load a template which has an EA on it. But in my experience, the Allow Live Trading will not always stay on and there is no way to programmatically interact with that option.

The other option would be to have both EAs running already and communicate with each other via DLL, Named Pipes or Globals

Any rookie question, so Questions from Beginners MQL4 How can I allow

Try this :

int nr = ChartOpen("USDJPY",PERIOD_MN1);

ChartApplyTemplate(nr,template_);

...template_ being a file saved from former chart with ea running, & deleted.

I think possible or not, depend on your rule.

example, EA2 will run if EA1 has order

and etc...
