Restarting a "Running" EA

An EA I am demoing stops working sometimes (I don't know why!). I have written an indicator which continually checks the EA's operation and sounds an alarm when it detects that the EA has "gone to sleep". I then restart the EA manually.

Is it possible to have the indicator restart the EA automatically?

Do you have an infinite loop ? when the EA has "gone to sleep" how much CPU ( check in Task Manager ) is MT4 using ? if it's using 100% of one core ( or hyper thread ) then it's likely that you have an infinite loop.

I've been so, your EA loop without falling into the "Break;"

Hi RaptorUK and TieuHo,

Thanks for your replies. I have to wait for the next sessions for the EA to "go to sleep" in order to answer your questions.

Or just check your code for any loops (for or while) that may get stuck and loop infinitely.
