Overview
Remote MT5 Child EA is designed to work in conjunction with a separate Master EA, from which it receives instructions via global terminal variables. The EA monitors parameters such as remote pause states, maximum lot sizes, risk settings, and daily loss limits. While it provides helper functions for opening and managing trades, it primarily acts as an execution node that respects external kill switches. It does not close existing positions when paused and requires manual implementation of specific trading logic.
- Global variable synchronization
- Remote pause and kill switch support
- Automated heartbeat signaling
- Dynamic risk and lot size management
