Hello,

Perhaps this question has already been answered, if so, please refer me to the forum post or community article that explains how to do it.

I want to write MT4 scripts that allow me to enter input before the script is executed.  Right now I am using EAs to perform this function.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered. 

 

Add the following line at the start of the Script . . .

#property show_inputs

Thanks for the reference - I would never have thought to look at the preprocessor commands.
