EA switch on/off button in chart window

Hello, it`s possible to add a button to can switch on and off the EA ?
The global button “autotrading” in Menu MT4 is not good, because i use 4 EA`s in 4 markets.
How can i add this ?

Best regards for help

Hello,

it would require some amount of coding, see this https://automatedtradingsoftware.co.uk/how-to-create-a-simple-toggle-button-in-mql4/?action=skip

There is a simpler way though. You can setup a variable EAactive (int). Add this to your conditions to open orders as if (EAactive = 1) …..

As EA is running on a chart you can modify this EA input and set it to = 0 so the EA will not open any new orders until you change it back to 1

Solution without coding: Open 4 MT4 instances and put only one EA per MT4 instance. So you can use the MT4-build-in-button. That’s how I am using it and it works fine.

hello – would the variable solution work with a True/false boolean rather than integer?

would you not need to reload the EA for the change to take effect?
