Write your EA to monitor, in our example, Global Variable "DisableEA"; if your EA detected that this variable is on, then your EA will not trade.
Here is how you can add it in your EA:
Inserted Code
int start() {
if (GlobalVariableCheck("DisableEA")) {
return(0); //get out and do nothing
}
your original codes here
.
.
.
.
.
}
Then on your "Police" EA
to disable trading, you create this variable something like this.
GlobalVariableSet("DisableEA", TimeLocal());
you can of course assign other variables like "ON" or "OFF", etc...
to enable trading, you delete this global variable
GlobalVariableDel("DisableEA");
Do understand, THESE CODES does not actually stop EA like the way the "Expert Advisors" button does.
These codes are like software flags, and your EA should monitor/check it and behave accordingly.

Hi,
Interesting... Actually all the EA's can access the same Global, no? So if all EA's (well same EA on multiple pairs) have a setting to take profit when AccountProfit() is up 1% then stop EA's. The first tick to come in on any of the pairs the EA is running on will dump the positions, taking the profit, and setting the Global to disable. Which in turn will disable the EA on all the pairs it is running on. Am I making sense?
