does anybody know what mt4 code i need to put in my EA so that it works for symbols with suffix like EURUSD.ecn?
please help. thx.
Use "Symbol()" in your code -> it will then use the Symbol of the current chart it is attached to.

Hi Christian, this will work only if the EA is one pair dedicated. What about if his EA is by default attached to one chart but is looking for setups on all or on some pairs?
Any way, if in your code you see an explicit list of pairs, you should change their names according to OctaFX symbols name, some times it may work (not always).
Best wishes, Nicolae

thx for replies
i have Symbol() in my code but still its not working. so when i put these codes its working for the particular pair. what i want is instead of "EURUSD" i need a general formula to cover other pairs. does any body know how?
extern string SymbolSuffix=".ecn"
int init()
if(StringLen(Symbol())>6) CurrentSymbol = ("EURUSD"+SymbolSuffix);
else CurrentSymbol = Symbol();

What I have always done is code it like this -
I first make an-
extern string Symbol_1 = "EURUSD.ecn"
Repeat making extern strings for as many symbols as your EA uses. Then go down into your code and change your symbol() to Symbol_1, and so on.
This way you can type in the broker symbol and suffix into the external variables once it's on the chart.

I don't know if it is allowed to post code here .... but may be useful for contest participants using experts.
I've made a script, for my personal use, that dully identifies all pairs in the symbols provided by the broker.
For example, if a broker provides a symbol named "EuR loves uSD" the script will understand that is about EURUSD and will act properly. If the name will be "uSd is better than Eur" the script will identify the pair "USDEUR" and will take it as it is (this is important for users of EAs that include a strong/weak analysis filter module).
This is the module:
int Pairs_Data()
{
/* +-----------------------------------------------------------+
| Outputs: |
| Pairs[i] Pair "i" symbol |
| Currencies[i] Currency "i" symbol |
| Multiplier[i] Pair "i" Multiplier Price - Pips |
| Pips = Price Difference x Multiplier |
| Currency_In_Pair[i][k] Currencies in pair "i" |
| where k =1 or 2 |
| Currency_In_Pair[i][1]=j (code of the first currency) |
| Currency "j" is the FIRST currency in pair "i" |
| Currency_In_Pair[x][2]=k (code of the second currency)|
| Declarations |
| The following arrays should be declared in the main area:|
