Mixed EA newbie question

Post by marcoFF »

Sorry for some stupid question but some things it's not clear:

How I can use different EA on the same accout? I need to differt Empty4 instance? Or simply a different magic number on the same Empty4?

In a case of running on a vps it's better one Empty4 for each EA?

How it's the faster way to setup an account, for try an EA i load a diffent settings in one new Empty4 installation (this required a lot of time)? And there is a shortcut to load the same indi+EA+template etc to any future Empty4 installation?

Thanks all,
Marco.

Hi Marco,

1. simply attach your EAs to different charts in the same Empty4 instance.

2. EAs identify their trades by magic number and/or trade comment. So best advice is to use unique magic number and trade comment for each EA.

3. VPS have limited CPU and RAM. As long as you are running the EAs on the same account, there is no real need for different Empty4 instances.

4. You can setup your Empty4 installation to your preferences and then simply copy and paste the whole Empty4 directory under \programs. Then you have two installations like "Global Prime - Empty4 4" and "Global Prime - Empty4 4 - 2" with identical settings.

Cheers, Thomas
