He's saying that your first EA should already have that functionality built-in. It sounds like you don't have that.

So, you could use API calls from a second EA to enable/disable the first EA.

This thread may give you more information.

Maybe those links are helpful for someone who know programming but i know only about the Magic Number. Someone for sure does have a "trades manager" or something like that.

EA's usually don't control each other.

If you want an EA that stops when spread becomes to high then code it into the EA itself, not in another EA to control the first one.

Have an EA that can apply a template on another chart (with your EA on it)  that dissables EA trading on that chart when spread is high.

After spread changes to normal it applies template with trading allowed.

This sounds interesting.

However, I don't see a way to save a "disable AutoTrading" attribute to a template.

Can you break down your solution for me?

Use the "flags". Allow live trading is bit 2.

This solution could however "disturb" the controlled EA and flood the output log, depending of how it's coded.
