Terminal variables

[Zackry]

its the first time i am trying to use terminal variables.
so i have a few questions,
is it possible to do this using terminal variables:
i am using three charts and three indicators o all three charts , so when the all three indicators gives the exact same signal on all three charts then ea open the same trade on all three charts , ( buy on all three charts , or sell on all three charts , depending on the signal from the indicators )
if this is possible then how do i declare a terminals variable ?and how can i make ea modify the terminal variable ?

thanks

@zackry I haven't work with terminal variables in fxdreema, but have some experience with them.

As long as your EA does not check the terminal variables, it will not do nothing. Also you might need to be careful with them as they survive a MT4 Terminal restart for instance.

ohhh so these things are dangerous then ... any other way to do above mentioned stuff?

@zackry Besides writing to files what is even more ugly or having some Windows DLLs to communicate between charts (which seems to be a bit oversized) I think the terminal variables are the right way to use.

[trader.philipps]

@zackry Btw. if you want to see their values press F3 in MT4.

@trader-philipps thanks
any advice about how to create or modify the terminal variables?

[Zackry]

from what i am guessing , i will need to manually create these variables in mt4 and then modify them suing the ea made in fxdreema , is this correct ?

[trader.philipps]

@zackry I think you should use this block to create them.

You can read them from within other blocks like this

But as I said, I don't have any experience within fxdreema. So maybe I'm wrong here.

@trader-philipps thanks to be honest its more than enough to get started with the terminal variables , thanks again

[trader.philipps]

@zackry That's what the forum is for.

@trader-philipps Also keep in mind that most actions in fxdreema are probably performed on a on tick base. If you have a symbol on one chart that gets tick very seldomly or if it's market is closed, it would not recoknize any changes until that chart gets another tick!

@trader-philipps yeah thats something i will have to see as i move forward , because right now i am behind the starting line
