Migrating EA-managed positions to new MT4 installation

 

Hi all: I have used an EA to manage some positions in my account. This was with MT4 on a somewhat older computer. I have now installed MT4 on a newer computer. My question is, after I download and install the same EA on this new computer, is it going to be able to recognize the positions that it has opened? If I apply it to the same charts, with the same settings, will it be able to take over from where it left off before the weekend? Is there anything special I need to do?

Does anyone have experience with this? Advice highly appreciated.

 

It depends if the EA was coded to recover after a shutdown (if it needs to ).


Topics concerning MT4 and MQL4 have their own section.

In future please post in the correct section.

I have moved your topic to the MQL4 and Metatrader 4 section.

Thanks Keith! Sorry for the mismatch, I'm very new here.
