Testing 2EAs simutaneaously

I have been testing an Expert Advisor on the MT4 with very good results, but in all reality it would be more convincing if I can put my risk factor in. In an effort to try and not confuse it anymore, here is what I am doing.

I have an EA that enters, and closes trades per set parameters, with no Stop Loss. I am using another EA on a different Chart that Monitors the Equity. When the Equity gets to 20% loss of the Account, it closes all trades. So another words, that is my stop loss.

I would be nice if I can test this method with the Strategy Tester. If anyone knows of a way, please post. Thanks

hey jr..... the best way is to combine'em.....

the equity management ea can be thought of as a function.... that's really all it is......

calculating the equity is at most a few lines of code.... the closeall() is maybe 20 more.... so your not combining much.....

if for some reason you rather not physically combine them, you could also reduce the management ea to an "include".... and include it in your trade placing ea...... this would have a similar effect.....h


#include <managetrades.mqh>
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h
