What are expert advisors?
With MetaTrader 4, you can use automated trading strategies called expert advisors (EA) to perform prompt technical analysis of price data and manage trading activities based on current market conditions. If you are using an EA and do not have a Virtual Private Server subscription, your EAs will stop running when you are logged out of Meta Trader.
If you have questions on how an EA works, you will need to contact the EA provider but, if you need help managing EAs in MetaTrader 4, our Client Services department will be happy to help you.
