Calling windows time from within EA?

Is there a way to use any other time from within an MT4 EA or script, other than the server time ? For example could one use windows system time to signal the start of some procedure, rather than have to wait on the server time to update, which can take 20 seconds in some cases ? I don't need any

Trading a signal when not subscribed

Can someone tell me whether or not a signal will work if i am not subscribed to the particular currency in Market Watch? So say a signal generates a trade for USDHKD and that pair is not in my symbol list, will MT5/MT4 still take the trade? Thanks

Hey everyone, Just a quick question regarding the Jobs marketplace; when i create a job, does it have to be strictly for metatrader? Say i wanted something programmed in VB script or in Java for example, can i still post the job in the MQL market place? Thanks

Indicator calls with DDE

Just a quick question. Does anyone know of a way to make indicator calls through a DDE link? Say for example i wanted an RSI value from an MT4/5 chart, is there a way to call it into excel using DDE... as opposed to having to construct it with historical data

Detach Charts?

Does anyone know if there is a way of detaching charts from MQL5; say for example i have 3 monitors and want to display charts on all three of them, but cant drag them out of the programs main window? Anyone know of a work-around for this? I mean everyone works with multiple monitors these days; i
