Calling a Script from an EA

is there a way to call a script from you EA?

there is no need to call script from EA.

common function can be created in a library file, which can then be included in both script and ea where each will call the same function.

yeah, I do it that way, too.

i was looking for a way for my EA to "hand off" the entry/exits to another program so it didnt slow my EA down any

includes are just the same program , albeit a bit more organized

Perhaps the 2 persons above did not understood your question correctly. I have answered this at MT4 forum:

There is a way to do it;
Move the code in your script to an include file in the "experts\include" folder.

You can then include this script in your EA by adding the following line to the top of your EA file:


but I don't want this to happen every tick so how can I set an EA to only call the script ONCE at a specific time and Day? Then wait until the next Time for my EA to call it?
I have a script that opens orders on 14 pairs and I want to automate this a little. Up until now I just drag my script onto my chart on Sunday at 21GMT but I want to create an EA to do this for me.

Thanks

i think trying to run a script that way is complicated
it doesnt take any cpu to run a small ea to do this
this ea will run its course in 1 millionth of a second

i think a ea is your best solution
you can edit this to your liking
but i did throw together something that is functional
since your trading 14 pairs at once, i coded this to loop until your trades open
though you could go about it in a better way

extern bool buy=false;
extern bool sell=false;
extern double lots=1;
extern int tp=3000;
extern int sl=3000;
bool active=true;

hey matrix
i misread that you only open on sunday, and you have a script to trade all 14 pairs
im sure you can edit this, if you need help lemme know

Ok, thanks man. I'll examine it.
I'm trying to automate this system a bit;
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=107119

I try this method, copy paste my script code into MySampleScript.mqh and put it to /include folder location then put "#include <MySampleScript.mqh>" code on my EA but it dont work. My EA can run but the script not running. My script is Change Time Frame All.mq4 and you can download from this link : https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...-timeframes-at
