Recently at MT4, I see "Ask Manual Confirmation" feature is GONE for EAs. Is there any way to bring it back or handle in any other possible way?

I have been wondering the same thing, is there any simple code to add to EA's to have it ask for manual confirmation now the option has gone from Metatrader

Thanks in advance

Yes there is another way you can use the "MessageBox" code with MB_YESNO and IDYES/IDNO this gives the EA the option to trade automatically or ask for a manual conformation.

cja.......Thank you so much for your reply, can you please tell me where I locate Message Box, I have never heard of it before. I have gone to the MQL site and searched but can't find anything specific. I can see from your pic it is attached to a spare chart is this a script? Any more information would be great. I have searched but just can't locate exactly what I have to do - thank you.

I am not sure what you mean by attached to a spare chart? The image is of a chart with an EA loaded on it that uses the Message box code for allowing a manual trade if required and it gives the trader the option of taking the trade Yes or not taking the trade No.
Open up the MetaEditor and click on F1 then type in what you want. If you type in MessageBox this window appears.

Thank you again! OK I think I am on the right track now, have found Message Box and will go ahead and see how I go setting it up for when the market opens. Appreciate your time to reply.

Cheers
