How does one remove an EA from the chart?

I know I've been asking a lot of questions lately. Your answers have been very helpful.

How does one program an EA to remove itself from a chart? I would like the last line in the EA to simply close the EA and remove it from the chart.

On the same note: Is there a way to remove an EA from a chart without closing and opening the chart again?

Thanks, I'm learning (slowly )

On the chart -> Right-click -> Expert Advisors -> Remove.

You can only remove EA or disable Expert Advisor manually.
EA cannot remove itself!
If i'm wrong, i would love to know that.
But you can test if Expert Advisors is enable with IsExpertEnabled().
For the moment you have to make a test condition for that.

I don't think you can have an EA programmatically remove itself from a chart, but you can easily stop it from doing anything after certian criteria is met.

Add a global variable boolean variable set to true:
bool bShouldRun = true;

In your start function, check to see if the EA should run

int start() {
if (!bShouldRun) return(0);
....


When you want to stop the EA from doing anything else, set it to false.
