Executing an Expert-Advisor via "cmd" command line... what am I doing wrong?

New comment
 

Dear MQL5 Board,

Im trying to execute An Expert via CommandLine and already read through the large part of questions about this topic but i couldnt find a working answer:


I already tried all the commands from "https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/start_advanced/start#command_line" but they dont seem to work

cmd /c "C:\Program Files\ICMarkets - MetaTrader 5\terminal64.exe /config: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\{MetaTrader_ID}\MQL5\Profiles\Tester\{my_expert_config}.ini"

"my_expert_config" is a config i edited for executing an expert, but it also contains a "common" section with all the information needed (login & password)

I probably something is wrong with my commandline, but what could i do ?

Im very glad for every Idea that could help :)

Hey,

Thank you for the tip :)
