How to enter external variables?

[icepeak]

Is it possible to have a box pop up when the EA loads that will ask for a value?

For example, if I want to customize an EA I have that will allow me to enter the percentage profit I want before it closes all trades, is there a way to do that without changing the code everytime?

Thanks

Hm... something like (put this code after #properties statement):

extern int profit = 200;//where 200 is just default value?

What I was wanting was something like a box that would pop up when you open the chart that asks how much profit instead of having it in the code. Is that possible?

Do you mean something like the windows inputbox?

But this is very hard thing I'm talking with MetaQuotes Tech Support about this!

But, Anything can be done in c++, I'll tell you if I find a trick!
