Hello everyone!

I've written a script that uses filewrite operation to populate a file with quotes, open positions and some indicators data, it works well. Now I would like to run this script automatically each 10, 15 or 30 minutes. Is that possible with MT4?

Thank you!

ps. Have already tried to write the very same code into Expert Adviser and run it on a chart, but unfortunately that didn't worked out

pps. Fullish mistake. I didn't turn on EA in MT4 Options

What you are wanting is the EA option. The only way to run this as a script would be using an infinite loop.......but if you can't get the EA to work, you won't get it to work as a script.

Simply run the code in an EA on every new bar and place it on the timeframe of the frequency that you want it to run.

This guy was able to come up with an EA solution that did updates every 5 minutes. Should be easy to adapt his code.
