Expert Advisors have been traditionally set up for some form of trading, but they are computer programmes after all. That means, they can do almost anything you want. I shall cover one interesting use.
You don't have the luxury of time to sit in front of a computer the whole day. You have gotten hold of some interesting indicators which you would like to try out. How can you study these indicators which get refreshed and repainted as the price ticks come into your charts.
MQL4, the computer language for programming EAs in the metatrader platform has a function called WindowScreenShot that allows you to capture a snapshot of your computer screen and store it as a picture file. If you capture a series of these pictures over a period of time, you would be able to have an idea of what has happened with your indicators. Better still run it off some software (eg InfranView) that allows you to string the pictures into a video.
Where can I find such an EA? Go get it from this article, "A Non-Trading EA Test Indicators".
As you can see, using an EA is not always about trading. It is about helping you do your trading better. Have fun!
