HI Reteid, There is one scenario the above has not catered for but I am not sure if it is possible. e.g. if you are in Australia, IC Market customers trade using ".a" symbol e.g. EURUSD.a, GBPUSD.a. Marketwatch has both .a and non .a symbol. If you attached your EA on non ".a" symbol, it won't trade. But the above does not give any errors. Caught me offguard a few times since the non ".a" symbol appears first on market watch. Thanks for sharing.
