User input during EA execution?

 

Hi;  I know you can build a "setup menu" that lets users set parameters for the EA.  No problem there.

What I want to know is if it is possible to let users enter a value during execution of the EA?  

I am presently using the MessageBox command with Yes/No buttons and track the values of the buttons clicked to accomplish this but what I would really like to achieve is for the user to be able to actually enter a numeric value instead. 

Input, sinput & extern do not work for that.  Is there another option possibly?

Thank you

Lode

 

You can create your own trading panel where the user can change parameters during the operation of the EA.

Here are some examples (please run a search in the CodeBase and Articles for more examples) ...

The simple trading panel is a trading tool that is very interesting because it will allow you to predefine your StopLoss and your TakeProfit in term of pips.
