Hi

With an EA is it possible to have an audio alert as and when every signal within the strategy code is met?


With an EA is it possible to have a visual alert (such as an arrow plotted underneath the candle that the signal occurred on) as and when every entry-exit-SL-StopAndReverse signal within the strategy code is met?


Is it possible to run an EA strategy just for the signals/alerts (i.e. without full trade automation), with the EA just producing the signals (audio/visual) from/on the chart, so that you can then just manually place the trades yourself with a seperate broker?


Many thanks.

YES, within the EA's tab, in - common - live trading - allow live trading (tick or untick the checkbox).

Many thanks.

Everything you mentioned can be accomplished with either an indicator or an EA. Obviously if you want the option to automate the trades it should be coded as an EA.
