Do Expert Advisers Consider Other Exchanges or Currencies?

 
Do expert advisors have the power to take other exchanges, currencies, commodities into account? For example, can an advisor for XUAUSD take into account the price of USD? Do expert advisors take anything into account other than performance of the stock itself?

An EA (expert advisor) will ONLY do what its has been programmed to do. They will not "take anything into account" if not instructed to do so.

Only, if an EA is coded to make use of other data from other symbols, will it do so! Such EAs are usually called Multi-Symbol EAs.
