How to Open a saved Profile from an EA

I'd like to create my own sort of dashboard that enables me to 'click a button' (on event) which then opens a Profile - example with 3 charts D1, H4 and M15 variation of same currency pair with same indicators etc.

Any help appreciated

why not open these three charts with that button click and apply a (indiv.) template to each (ChartApplyTemplate())

Thanks for the response.

I guess I figured the profile would easily set the size and location of each chart - say each chart full height and 1/3, 1/3 & 1/3 width.
Assume all 3 same size then D1 in location 1, H4 location 2 and M15 in location 3
I have loaded charts previously but not resized - I'll take a look at that.

Many thanks

Have a look at that for example https://www.mql5.com/ru/code/27883 (russian info text) - it is doable in a way but you have to use dll calls etc for that...

Arrange your layout as you wish - including EAs - then save it as a profile. Then load that profile with one click in the status bar or via Main menu -> Files -> Profiles
It takes blood, sweat and enough tears to wash away the blood.

Thanks Emmzett.

That's the process I wanted to do from an EA.
1. Suppose my dashboard is tracking several currencies
2. One of the currencies generates a positive signal (Buy/Sell ready of maybe approaching etc)
3. Then load D1, H4 & M15 (say) for that currency / pair with one button - with 3 charts positioned, with own indicators, EAs etc (as you suggest)

If I can easily size and position my templates then that would achieve my objective.

Thanks again

You can. Nothing stops you from doing that.
