How to Auto-Reconnect when Metatrader disconnects?

Hi,

Is there a software or method that can monitor my metatrader connection, and enable reconnection automatically when it disconnects?

MT4 will reconnect on its own. No need for anything extra. If its that much of a nuisance - its probably the broker feed. There is a huge discrepancy in brokers' ability to maintain the connection.

My metrader was disconnected yesterday, and it did not reconnect on its own, until I found out today and manually login myself.

Could it be that metrader was trying to reconnect with the wrong account that was invalid? Because I saw the invalid account status at the bottom right corner of my mt4.

Is there a software or tool that can monitor my metatrader connection AND also help me to reconnect with the correct username and password that I specify to it?

That is the only circumstance I can think of where auto reconnect won't work. There is a way to avoid that, but off the top of my head I can't think of it now. There are lots of previous threads about this.

I would appreciate if I could be pointed to some of those threads or how to search for them.

Remember to delete extra accounts in the folder window. Sometimes metatrader tries to log in using the wrong account.

How exactly does the Reconnect EA work?

I can only use one EA on one Metatrader at a time. How can I use it when I already have another EA attached to to it?

Hi,
you can use more than one EA in one MT4, simply open a new chart for each EA. But you can use only one EA on one chart.

Hi,

Usually MT4 reconnect on it's own.
