Hi everyone,
I’ve used my custom programmed EA in MT4 on Alpari UK demo account for quite a while. Suddenly I figured out that it does not process ticks. I checked the triggers “OnInit” and “OnDeinit” do get fired, I checked by putting a simple print inside of them. However the “OnTick” does not fire any more. I tried to write a brand new simple EA and the simptoms are the same, the “OnTick” just doesn’t fire. I know that there were some changes on MT4 platform recently, the triggers were renamed (previously:init, deinit, start) beside some other MQ4 lanuguage commands were changed as well. But unfortunatelly I just can’t make the EAs work again. The Alpari support couldn’t help me much till now. The current MT4 build I have is 610 and run under wine in Ubuntu 12.04. Has anyone experienced similar problems? Any help much appreciated, thanks.
I didn’t notice the message in terminal saying “Experts are disabled because the account has been changed” and I did really open a new demo account a few days ago. So I just enabled the EAs again and EA does process tick normaly. It made me think: how can I trade forex watching for the right candles, if I can’t see the big red button saying “expert disabled”, damn. Thanks anyway guys.
