Having problems with message search?
There are tons of ways to to this..
Seems like we go over this quite often.
Anyway, the biggest thing to keep in mind is that An EA is totally different when it comes to dealing with orders. MBT has no concept of Ordernumbers. MBT cant hedge. MBT Treats everything using basis and or Positions.. NOt individual orders.
A price feed and or signal generator is quite easy.. but if you think that somehow you are going to get an EA to translate to MBT, forget it. 2 Diff animals. Same would be true with any ECN type broker.
You can Email me directly if you need more info.

Ingvar,
Are you trying to write "EA"s particularly or just that's you're term
for indicators? Is MetaTrader your trading platform or are you just
using that as a base for comparison.
Or are you trying to build something from the ground up and want to
know how you might code indicators that work with MBT's API?
