Link two EA's together

New comment
 

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to call a second EA from my main EA. I have tried to use #include <KeyBoard.mq4> which causes an error "Can't Open D:\xxx\xxx\xxx". I would like know the correct way to make this possible.

 

The reference of the editor tells you about #include (slightly modified):

The preprocessor replaces the line #include <WinUser32.mqh> with the content of the file WinUser32.mqh.
Angle brackets indicate that the WinUser32.mqh file will be taken from the standard directory (usually it is terminal_installation_directory\MQL4\Include).

The current directory is not included in the search.
If the file name is enclosed in quotation marks, the search is made in the current directory (which contains the main source file). The standard directory is not included in the search.

Try: #include "KeyBoard.mq4"

Thanks Carl,

That works fine. I found that OnInit() had to be removed from KeyBoard.mq4 otherwise I get an error that it already exists. The reason I want the second EA is that I don't want to have to look at this all the time.

Hello everyone,

This might look a little strange. 

#include "KeyBoard.mq4"
#include "Variables.mq4"
#include "Button.mq4"

I can't comply the code with any of these mq4's in focus (I hope that I've used the term "in focus" correctly)

After I played around a bit, the code appears to be easier to find errors and debug.

 

Hello everyone,

Just two more questions please. How do I include an Indicator to my EA? How do I get the Indicator to fire a start trade operation?
