Question re coding for multiple ea instances

[daveM]

Could someone tell me how to allocate a portion of account for each ea when trading several pairs at once.

Thanks

You'd have to modify each expert advisor to do that. Better use different accounts for each of them.

Thanks for that, I would really like to use only one account, I will keep playing with it and see what I can find

Thanks again.

lots

hey dave..... the answer would probably depend on the reason for needing the account allocated..... several reasons come to mind, one would involve the lot size.......

as example,

if each ea using some or the same code set the lot size, and it is using accountfreemargin() or something similar, you can replace that value with one of your own choosing.....

   lot=NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMargin()*MaximumRisk/1000.0,decimalPlaces);

you would replace AccountFreeMargin() with your predetermined amount...... doing so will reduce the free margin available to each ea ......h
