is there anyway to know whether an expert advisor is currently sleeping or not?

Hello people
I would really appreciate if anybody could tell me any function which could be used to know whether an expert advisor is slept or not from another expert advisor as a mean of process synchronization.
I look forward for your responses.

thks WHTenn but I already asked there and still nobody seems to know the answer.

Maybe, when you have it go to sleep have it set value to something and display this value on your screen.

So right before it sleeps, have it change the name of your indicator to Indicator - sleeping, that way you can see it on the screen.


I have not worked with Sleep much, so I dont know much about its characteristics or if this will work.

Good luck!

But that would not always work. Because it sometimes would take the expert advisor out of the cpu right after marking the indicator to sleeping but before actually running the sleep function. Furthermore, we might think that the expert advisor is already sleeping when actually it has not entered into this function yet.
Thanks anyways for ur effort.
