how do I run external programs within mt4?

hello! I've a .bat file that I'd like my EA to run whenever a signal is given. could some of you MT4 experts shed some light on this? many thanks in advance!

mt4 has the abiliity to access functions that are written in a DLL.

i wrote my DLL in C language.

C has no difficulty whatsoever running anything and can also access any of your computer's hardware.

i once wrote some code into my DLL that auto-posted my trade stats to a php based website.

happy coding,

zero/.
