How do I to automatically refresh or update the Expert Advisor attached on chart? (like F7 and Enter)

New comment
 

Hi,

I have an expert advisor running on an instance of Metatrader 4, and I want to refresh EA automatically (like F7 and Enter) on my time (like 1 hours or 2 hours)?

Any body have good idea? like Script or code to add to the EA?

Thank you all.


All the best,

Ali

Hello I know it's an old post, but maybe someone can help. what function would I need to enter so that instead of every 60 minutes, the EA would reload only when there are no open positions or after closing all positions and before opening a new one?

 
swiezak #: the EA would reload only when there are no open positions or after closing all positions

  1. There are no positions in MT4, only orders (opened or pending).

  2. Until you can state your requirements in concrete terms, it can not be coded. Do you really mean all orders, or orders on the current chart's symbol?

  3. Show us your code where you count orders, and I will show you how to test for zero.
