It would be great if there was an option to check a web link with "httpget" if the result is "TRUE" for example.
I think httpget is not a standard MT4/5 command, but an interface to an external source to open an order would be super powerful.
I want to look into / deal with Big Data because I think it is super powerful to use some external data to make a decision to open a trade.
The idea behind is not a solution to read out special websites. What i am talking about is just a small interface.
For example:
http://test.derbfactory.net/test.php?pw=test&f=buy
you will receive "false";
http://test.derbfactory.net/test.php?pw=test&f=sell
>> "true"
It is only necessary that CP works with a simple true or false as a return value.Currency pair > &cp=EURUSD
rate > &r=1.21023
Spread > &s=4
Example of usecases:
- Additional or stand-alone signal for an order.
- Additional or standalone signal to close an order.
- General check to pause the EA or allow automatic trading.
- Adjustment of the risk level depending on a return value.
- Use of correlations between different objects. (example: EA is trading EURUSD but you want to consider effects of other objects like DAX, GOLD or OIL. )

Your idea is clear, but still should be developed )
Of course, parameters should be passed. At least, symbol and magic number (some unique id).
But not current prices and spreads, I guess. It is bad way to send the data to your web-service.
And the return value should be not a single "true/false", but a structure contains:
What would you add?
Let's think about most common use cases for awhile.

In line with this external signal, I have a different idea altogether. What if the external signal could be provided by a custom indicator of choice eg. Like an arrow indicator or other trading system that can be placed on the chart as a single unit and has buffers which can be manually input in the CP EA in order to automatically take trades when a signal corresponding to the buffer number is triggered!!! Hope this is clear enough
Hello,
This is a great idea! But we need a search for sources of indicators to work with. I would like to suggest volatility signals as an external check for trend trading. Often, from periods of high volatility correlate with trends with respect to volume I guess. I will try and post some useful links.
It is really good idea, but should be well thought out before start.
Give me some examples of pages you want to use.
