Pull multiple charts onto terminal simultaneously

New comment

Hello

I'm just checking with more experienced developers of MT4 than me that there really is no way of upgrading multiple charts' EAs simultaneously?

I have a 28 symbol strategy, and although I use a profile to set up all 28 charts arranged as I like on my Terminal, with template assigned, when I want to upgrade to v7 of my EA from v6, I need to drag the new version onto a chart, resave the template and then apply the new template to each other chart, one at a time.  Is there a quicker way?

Thanks

Question still stands, but may be moot.  I can use my profile to keep a EA-less template set of charts ready, then use this ChangeTemplate-All.mq4 script: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=4745795#post4745795 to change templates on all charts quickly.

Don't change the name of your EA. Use the following to identify your EA

#property version "6.00"

I'm not changing the name - I'm changing the code.  Version changes cos the code does.  I have also noticed that templates cache versions of code.  If I compile EA v1.1, pull it onto a chart, and save the chart as a template, then tweak EA v1.1, when I restart the terminal and apply the template, the untweaked version appears to be applied.  This is well irritating, as it means I need to divorce the idea of templates controlling anything other than style and the EA applied to charts needs to be done through scripts.
