Hi,
I'm new to the editor, and I wanted to create a EA. I've seen how to build an EA but I didn't want the EA to open and close positions for me, I only wanted it to highlight a potential setup based on my strategy so I do not have to spend all day at the screens, is this possible?
I prefer to take the decision to open/close myself.
Sorry for a really newbie question.
