A message for E8 Markets support
Copy it into their chat or email. Add your account number.
Hello! I would like to use a read-only Expert Advisor on my E8 Markets account to send my trade history to my trading journal. It only reads the account history; it never places, modifies or closes orders. Its source code and checksums are public: https://www.setupnik.com/connect/metatrader. Is it allowed on my account (number: ______)? Thank you!
