DislikedYep thanks, got all those. Nice smily face, not sad or an x.
I suspect I have too many profiles around, may need to do some tidying up.
By "live chart" do you mean actually showing on the screen in the current open profile. Or can it be in the current profile but minimized.
If I change to another profile to see say a range of charts for EURUSD instead of MrED charts, I suspect the ea's become inactive for those minutes/hours the profile isn't open. I get sets of lines in the journal like:
2009.09.17 09:05:09 Custom indicator Atr&CandleLength...Ignored
Seems to me you have a very busy MT
I mean live chart which is receiving tick data. Can be minimized alright it will still receive and process tick data. However if you switch to another profile then that chart will be shut down & become dead until you switch back to the original profile.
If you have too many EA's you want to host then I would suggest to make multiple installations of the MT and execute them parallel (provided that you have sufficient hw resources). You could host all the EA's on 1 or 2 MT instances which are always on, and you could have another MT for your ad-hoc/sandbox activities....
