Algo Trading and ChartApplyTemplate

[Arthur Monticelli]

Hi there!
I have a template that comes with an EA. When I apply this template manually (right click on chart > templates), then Algo Trading is activated in the EA.

But when I apply this template using ChartApplyTemplate(), Algo Trading is off (in the EA settings).

Is there a way to load a template containing an EA, in a way that it doesn't deactivate Algo Trading in the EA settings?

Thank you so much!

Someone help please, I would highly appreciate it

Live trading permission cannot be extended for the Expert Advisors launched by applying the template using ChartApplyTemplate() function.

There is no such problem. Verification EA (run on a symbol other than EURUSD).

int OnInit()
{  
  const int Res = MQLInfoInteger(MQL_TRADE_ALLOWED);
  
  if (Res)
  {
    const string NewSymbol = "EURUSD";

    if (_Symbol != NewSymbol)
    {
      Print(ChartSaveTemplate(0, "tmp.tpl"));
      Print(ChartApplyTemplate(ChartOpen(NewSymbol, _Period), "tmp.tpl"));
    }
  }
  else
    Alert("MQL_TRADE_ALLOWED = false");
    
  return(!Res);
}
