Giving sell/buy signal by phone
-
Hi. I won't to create an EA that lets me enter a trade with a fix money based stop loss using an EA thats running on my desktop, for when I'm out and about.
I want to open a trade with the stop being above the candle ID 1 for sell and below the candle ID 1 for buys with a fixed money risk stop. That's the easy part. Now how do I get to activate this via phone? The only solution I came up with is entering sell limit/stop somewhere by phone which triggers the sell/buy at the current price with the right stops and lot size. I thought something like this: https://fxdreema.com/shared/cmTz7pKjb Problem is, it's not working. Anyone see the mistake or has a better solution?

Just to be clear, do you want to create an EA to control another EA? Why not combining both into one?

I just want my EA on my computer to enter a trade (with the specific lot size and stop loss that the EA uses) if I'm outside and not at my working station. Some easy way via phone. It has to be quite quick...I don't have time to calculate lot size etc. My EA does that. Just a quick way to tell it to "buy" now via phone.

But you are requesting two different EAs to be active on the same chart at the same time. It doesn't matter if the second one is used only from time to time. You will probably need a script for that second one instead of a full EA. The problem is still the same. What happens with all trades triggered by the first EA? Are their lot sizes supposed to be calculated under the same rates?

Not only extra work on EA, but also an extra server program to get/phrase the phone message. -
@l-andorrà No, there is no second EA. The original EA just has an extra function: If some kind of signal comes by phone, enter a market buy/sell with pre defined stop and lot size. At the moment I do it by using "if pending order" block, that activates the buy/sell, since I never use them otherwise. I can do the buy/sell limit/stop by phone and the EA on the computer enters a trade at market price.
So what I'm looking for is something easier, but I could live with that.

And what about a script? If you are executing it just once from time to time probably that's what you need.
