Running a Script from an EA

New comment
 

Hello, I'm new at programming and trying to learn.

One thing I am trying to do is run a script from within an EA. I have searched in every way I can think of and can find no information or examples of this so before I assume it's not possible I wanted to ask here where the pro's are. For instance, if I wanted to use a CloseALL script from within any EA, how would that be accomplished? This is what I know so far:

copy the script into the include folder and rename it .mql from mq4

add #include <scriptname> at the top of the EA

This is where I don't know what to do next.

If I place something like this (simplistically stated):

-------------------------------------

#include <RunThisScript.mqh>

start() {

RunScript()

}

void RunScript() {

int RunThisScript;

}

------------------------------------

Should this work correctly?

Thanks for any help at all,

Trader

Sorry I didn't explain it clearly enough, actually I was wanting to launch a script from within the EA like you would a function. Is there anyway to do that?

Thank you again,

Hi qjol, thank you for the idea.

Do you happen to have a snippit you would share to help me understand how to do this, I'm still real new and could use a small example - either way, thank you man.
