Since I don't have high enough post count, I am interested in how your system works?

Hi medical2009.
Do you have an EA that can receive emails and automatically enter and exit trades from those emails? The emails sent to MT4 could be changed to fit what your program requires, such as the "sent from" email address and Subject Line and text content in the body of the email. I would only need the EA to receive the email and then enter Long by market or Short by market and exit Long and exit Short.
The order size will always be the same too which should make it even easier.

The only thing that I would need that is a bit more complex, is that the EA not just close all Long or all Short positions when it gets the exit email, but rather would only close out (i.e. exit) the specific trade that it had entered with a specific label. For example, the email sends "enter Long X" and then after a few minutes it sends a second email "enter Long Y" and then later an email "exit Y" and then the next email "exit X".
I would need each entry and exit trade to be executed by name so that if the EA got an email to "exit Z" but only X and Y are currently open and Z is not even open at that time, then the EA would not close anything.
And the order size parameter in the EA should be adjustable so that every email it gets, it fills that same order size. Or else it would have to be able to understand the order size parameter from a field in the email.

So do you have anything like this or know where I can find such an EA?

Thank you very much!

Hi anama,

Do you know where I can find such an EA for MT4 that reads and executes based on emails? The emails always having the same format would not be an issue as I can make sure of that. I wouldn't really be able to wait between receiving the signal and then manually entering the trade since those few moments could mean a lot of money and then I also wouldn't have to keep monitoring my phone for the signals. I'd be able to keep my phone off for a while and not worry about missing one.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

first of all, I will not publish the EA here.
Reason: It's not only an EA, it's a large "package", consisting of the EA and additional PHP-Files. Also it needs an mysql-database.
There is some modification and testing necessary for each signal-provider, because everyone has it's one pitfalls.

I have added a contact-site to my signature. So please send me an email, if
you are interested.

hi medical2009

not sure if you're still doing this but I'm also interested in customizing a program that can autotrade my email signal. I've got an EA that I would like to combine it with.

thanks
