Then the question is: Who is this person ? Is he a friend of yours? Introduce him.

I told you: at user level!!!

It was at user level.

expiration is the time of expiration of a pending order.

But it doesn't suit you.

To take one order "out of EA's care" is impossible, because the care goes to the magician, and you can't change it.

We have to rewrite the EA with a different order control

expiration time of the pending order.

But this does not work for you.

You can't take one order "out of EA's control", because the control is based on a wizard, and you can't change it.

We have to rewrite the EA with another order control.

Live long.

Oh, my God! I asked for a user level and you ask me to go through the whole EA and ask in a mentoring tone, "What's yours?" I don't want to get into it. I like playing games, not figuring out the insides of toys.

If Magik isn't 0, close the position and re-enter.

You can leave the custody even with the same wizard, the question is what kind of order you need if you want it, then you cannot do it if it is specific to your list.

He needs it as a user, without fixing the code

Is there a way to set a hotkey to make the"input box" object active so that text can be typed there? For example, the lot size for a future trade.

Hello. Can you give me a hint? MT5

I am making: an indicator that takes screenshots on a timer and puts them in folders (symbol period).

The intended algorithm: a screenshot is made at initialization. Since file operations take time, the timer moves the screenshot made first and makes a new one.

The screenshot made during initialization is successfully moved by timer.

Problem:
1 The first screenshot taken by timer in the folder is not displayed immediately. It is displayed ONLY when terminal is closed or indicator is restarted.
2 screenshots except first one are not moved, error 5019 (file does not exist), although they are displayed in folder (except first one made by timer).
