Common questions about software applications
An Expert Advisor (EA) is a MT4 o MT5 app that automates all or part of a trading strategy. The end user is responsible for “turning on” the EA to initiate trading. The end user is also responsible for “turning off” the EA if they want the EA to cease trading further.
An EA might carry out an entire trading strategy: when to buy; when to sell; where to a set stop loss; where to set a take profit. It could also be simpler, only performing one action, like entering a new trade or closing an existing trade.
A script is a MT4 o MT5 app that automates a trading function(s). For example, a script could close all open positions simultaneously. Additionally, a script could buy a defined amount of a currency pair or it could sell a defined amount. A script could be created to do just about anything.
It’s important to note that scripts are user dependent. Meaning, the trading functions that a script performs must be initiated by the end user. Unlike an EA, they do not run continuously making trading decisions based on their coded strategy.
To clarify this point, let’s reconsider a script that closes all open positions in a trading account at once. When the end user decides to close all trades, they can run the script. But remember, the decision to close all open positions was made by the end user, not the script.
