I need an to call a python script in my expert adviser when OnTick occurs which I did via ShellExecuteW.

However, I need to EA to wait until ShellExecuteW finishes its job.

Is that doable ?

Apparently the right way is :

if (CreateProcessW()) WaitForSingleObject();

But I don't know what dlls to import and what functions to define.

Thanks for any clue/comments

I have the following code: The code is working fine. But after ShellExecuteW() command, I am getting a file which I have to load in OnInit...
