Thread: Calling on price data from external pairs.

I'd like to build an EA that using closing price data from numerous pairs yet trades only one pair.

For example, I'd like to trade EURUSD but need to call on closing price data from EURGBP, EURJPY, GBPUSD, USDJPY and GBPJPY. Is this possible with MT? If so, how is it done or where do I look to learn how?

Thanks

Yes. It is possible. You may use functions iClose, iOpen, iHigh, iLow, iTime and others.

This is definitely programmable but you need to explain in more detail exactly what you want to EA to do. You should check MQL4 Documentation to get detailed information on how to code for MT4.

If you understand your strategy and have any programming experience at all, MQL is very easy to learn.
