can MT4 read data from external file?

I've read through Expert Advisor User's Guide , but not very detailly, since I do not use any indicator, I use trendlines merely......I'm only interested in MQL's alert system.

Now with MT's Terminal -- Alerts, I've built up 12 price alerts, 2 for each of 6 currencys. I have to change them all very frenquently, and these 12 can not "sort by name", make my job more difficult.

So, I'm thinking, can I make an external file, like an excel .xls, or a .txt, or I write a VB proggie, which in fact is a form that includes all the 12 prices (why make it like this? --- much easier to change prices)... and then MT just read these prices from it and make alerts ...

Is it possilbe?
 
wyf,

You need to have a browse through the File Functions. Open MetaEditor and on the right hand side you should see a Dictionary tab. Select that and there you go.

Thank you. I spent some time on the language, and found I need much more time.... hope one day I can work it out :-)
