Using Chart Execute

Using Chart Execute

• When an EA has been configured to use Chart Execute and the EA has been attached to a MetaTrader price chart, the "Chart Execute" button is displayed in the right hand corner of the price chart.
• Clicking the "Chart Execute" button will display the following window:

• The pull-down menu at the top shows all functions of the EA that have been checked (to "show") in VTS Chart Execute configuration window:

• When a function is selected, the parameters for that function are displayed and are available to be edited.
• Note: Some functions do not have any parameters, in this case the parameter list is blank.

• There are 3 execute options available:
• The Start option will execute the selected function on every incoming price change (every tick). The function will continue to execute until it is Stopped or the EA is detached from the chart.
• The Stop option will stop a function that is executing on every tick.
• The Run Once option will execute the function just once. The function executes immediately when the Execute button is clicked.
• The window is closed when Cancel or Execute is clicked.
• When Cancel is clicked, no action takes place. The window simply closes.
• When Execute is clicked, the selected option (Start,Stop, Run Once) is executed.

Notes:

• Only one function can be managed at a time. To start each function, the "Chart Execute" button must be selected and used to start (or stop) each function individually.
• Selecting Start on an already started function has no effect.
• Selecting Stop on an already stopped function has no effect.
