EA's properties (allow live trading) when using the OpenChart() function are wrong

[Marbo]

Hi,

when I open a chart with the OpenChart() function the checkbox "allow live trading" in my EA's properties is always disabled. But when I open a new chart manually, the EA's properties are correct and live trading is allowed.

I don't understand that because the function OpenChart() uses the default template which works fine manually.

Can anyone help me?

"Live trading and DLL imports permissions cannot be extended for the Expert Advisors launched by applying the template using ChartApplyTemplate() function."

My guess is that it also applies to opening new chart with default template using ChartOpen() (but I may be wrong).

No, I think you are right. That makes sense. Ok, then I know there is no option/checkbox I have forgotten to click in the MT4 options.

Thank you!
