I've just started auto trading EA's in a Demo account and I decided to add a Live account to the same MT4 terminal to check out the differences between the two. I noticed that when I switch accounts auto trader is switches off. I understand you can change this setting so that it doesn't switch off but my concern is whether the EA's active in Demo will be applied to the Live account? The same folders, scripts, EA's and settings appear in both accounts. Ideally i want to leave Demo running while accessing my Live account and test different strategies in Demo while using the tried and tested ones in Live.
Any advice on switching between Demo and Live accounts when auto trading would be appreciated.
