An obvious question and I'm sure there is a simple answer staring me in the face, but, as Blackadder would say, "bugger me with a fish fork" if I can see it?

In my EA, I've got this thing called NoNewOrders (true/false) which probably doesn't exist in other EAs.

I haven't got around to implementing StopOperation. When is that supposed to cut in?

Blackadder may on the other hand say:

- right click on top-right smiley face, Expert Advisors / Remove.

  1. bool enabled=true;
start(){
   if (!enabled) return;
   ...
   if (condition) enabled=false;
  2. Remove an EA through MQL4 code

That sounds more like Baldrick. Blackadder would actually like the EA to stop under certain conditions when he is away partying - so not actually there to click anything!!!!

Thanks for that - Guess it really was simple in the end, especially when you see someone else's solution!!!!

BTW....

As a non_programmer, is my understanding correct?

if (!enabled) is the same as if(enabled == false)


thanks a million pips

Yes, that is correct. WHRoeder likes to copy and paste code, but that doesn't mean he knows what Blackadder considers to be suitable conditions for stopping an EA.
