Using one EA to execute with two mt4 brokers

Try This — I don't know how you are determining that number, but it appears to have been rounded. In fact every number in MT4 has a machine precision of 16 decimal digits; its just that we humans only want 3 or 5. If you look at the Data ...

Confusing — I can see how I misunderstood. But the question is still very confusing. You don't state what EA you are talking about. Even if we knew the name, somebody would have to look at the code to determine how time is being used. ...

Is Market Watch time the definitive broker time as used by EAs?

Partial Close — I gave it some thought and decided to provide the easy, unreliable method of doing things. If somebody wants to provide the difficult, reliable method be my guest, but it takes more programming skills. The order close is easy. ...
