possible to identify the currency in a pair?

[bobo1974]

hi all,

i want to do a currency strength type of EA

So, let's say i want to long EU

I want to see if euro part of the pair is in also long in EJ, EG 

so is it possible to automatically identify Eur in the EU on my chart and then find the euro direction from EJ, EG ?

hope you understand my question

lol

ok let me rephrase

let's say the chart i have the EA on is EURUSD. It is now giving me a signal to long

I want confirmation from other pairs that EUR is long as long. Eg if EURJPY and EURGBP also says long, then only i will take long position in EURUSD

now the issue is this. I don't want to create an EA for EURUSD. another EA for USDCAD, etc

I would like to have a single EA that can

 

1) detect the 1st currency in the chart is EUR (because it is a EURUSD chart)

2) look in my codes for other pairs which has EUR as its 1st currency (or for some as 2nd currency in the pair)

 

the rest of the codes, i will gather the buy/sell signal based on what the EUR in all those pairs tell me

maybe try with StringSubstr(Symbol(), 0, 3)
