Whenever I add a script to my EA's, the input parameters become unavailable under expert properties, when adding the EA to a chart and using Strategy Tester. It's really strange.
Take a simple parameter like
//---- input parameters
extern bool TakeTrades=True;
When adding to a chart, as well as using strategy tester I can edit the parameter just fine.
Then I include a script with
#include "stdlib.mq4"
and when attaching the same EA, or when using strategy tester, the expert properties become available.
Is this a limitation or am I doing something wrong?
Please rephrase your point, you are not making much sense. You can't add a Script to an EA.
Perhaps your problem is the same as this one ? : https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/143371
To rephrase....
I have an EA... with an input parameter....
//---- input parameters
extern bool TakeTrades=True;
it works just fine, I can change the parameter when attaching to a chart and in strategy tester...
as soon as I add #include "stdlib.mq4" to the EA, the input parameters can not be changed when adding to a chart or in strategy tester.

The input tab is missing. I followed the link and instructions. Problem continues. I have tried it across 3 different computers.

Does the file compile ? what if you use
#include <stdlib.mqh>
#include <stdlib.mqh> worked! Thank You!
