Communication Between accounts MT4

New comment
 

Hi,

On a single MT4 platform I would like to develop an EA or Indicator that takes some information from Account1 (Say Broker1)

and such information is read on an EA that is working on Account2 (also Broker1 as there is one broker per platform instance)

So 2 or more accounts would be opened on the same MT4 platform and there would be a master account on which info will be entered

(manual orders) and such info would need to be collected on one or more slave accounts reading it on an EA running on the slave/slaves.

Hope is clear.

I am aware that signals can be used but have a request to work this way if possible.

Thanks for any advice/suggestion.

 

You may search for such an expert/utility in the Market or place your request as a job in the Freelance section.

Can't be done. The terminal only runs on one account at a time.

If you want to run two separate installations, then it's possible.

Without entering into details, with 2 separate installations would you commnunicate via some Global Variables, or DLLs or

else?

Just to get an idea. Thank you

Global Terminal Variables only works for that terminal and no other, so it cannot be used for communicating between terminals.

For non DLL Inter-terminal communication, you can use files in the common path.

All other methods either require DLL or an external application to act as an instantiate, dispatch service or some kind of intervener, be it for named pipes, messaging services, etc.
