How to change properties on this EA?

Hello:

I am trying to change some of the 'properties' of a trade management ea that I put on my screen, but MT4 won't let me pull it back up. It will allow me to delete it and reapply it, but it will not let me change the properties once it is installed. 'F7' does not work either.

Is there some kind of setting somewhere that is turned off which is not allowing me to do this? Is there something I need to do to be able to pull up the properties of an already installed ea to be albe to change them?

Thanks for the help. Any advice would be great.

Live Life Large,

The EA uses an infinite loop.
If it has no external parameter to make it work with Ticks, there
is no hope for you.

It should work, there are lots of external parameters I think. Here, I have attached it. It is a well used EA with lots of changable settings yet it won't let me do it. Is there a setting to turn off the loop in this EA?

Why donīt you read the manual ?
Use google.

I downloaded the EA, attached it and saw
the first parameter AlwaysOn = true

Changed it to AlwaysOn = false
and guess what happened ?

Well dah! Because I am reading a book about pre-rome, moving into the ups and downs of Roma. Really fascinating stuff? Why don't you read a book about pre-rome? Probable because you are reading something else. I did however, skim the manual and did not find what you just pointed out to me. As such I skimed enough to learn all the other aspects of how it works. I guess I missed where it said that. I even went back to look again before I made my initial post.

Anyway, that is why I did not read the manual.

Thanks for pointing out the it was in the manual and I missed it. Some time I hope I can be helpful to you in the same way you were to me.
