Hello -
I have a question about how EA's operate. I have a live and demo account with the same MT4 broker. If I want to test an EA on a demo account, how do I prevent it from attaching to my live accounts when I switch over to the same or different currency pairs? I want an EA to run on my demo account to see how it performs and if I need to tweak some settings, but do not want it to activate any live accounts.
From what I can tell, once an order entry EA has been activated and the various stops and limits are in place, that trade is carried out on your account, even if you shut down the EA, unless you actually close or alter the order.
Thanks
