Are variables sticky upon Terminal restart?

[Johnster]

If for some reason the system has to restart, for mandatory update or something, will variables be lost or are they sticky until being overwritten?

[jstap]

They will reset. The only option you have to stop this is to save and load the variable as a global (terminal) variable.

This link will give you an idea of how to achieve this: https://fxdreema.com/shared/rotTPFn8b Every time the value changes you will need to update, then read this to use

[Johnster]

So they got reset on program close... What about a system crash (or force close)?

[Johnster]

(or reset on terminal open?)

[Byens]

save it in file? read initial lots last open position? what are you trying to save?

[jstap]

As my link, save as global then any type of crash won't affect the saved value. Global variables are saved on your computer so to lose you would have a hard drive/computer problem

[Johnster]

I'm trying to make sense of the method.
Block 1 sets the variable...
Block 2 reads it and does nothing if something there.
Block 3 If nothing there it resets the variable to 0

I'm not getting it... please elaborate @jstap

[Johnster]

Also... is it limited 10?

[jstap]

Nothing is limited to 10 unless you are on the free version, then that is the maximum number of connections. add a shared link to see what you have done...

[Johnster]

I need some guidance... can't get it to work...

[Johnster]

Can't post images here? Only links?

[Johnster]

Is the example you gave me above correct?
I'm on mt5 btw. @jstap

[Johnster]

Your name is not accidentally Jasper? And you play sax?

[jstap]

You should be able to post images, links are better because inside blocks can be seen, so you get a full picture of what the EA is/isn't doing. MT5 and MT4 on FX are basically the same but you will need to create as MT5

Global Writing is fine... now how to put them back in terminal variables.

[Johnster]

• Conditional writing

[jstap]

You read them by selecting terminal variable and putting in the name:

This might actually fix my problem.
Ran some tests yesterday and not storing vars, indeed gives a lot of problems upon restart. .

Thanks mate.

[Johnster]

I can restore all values in the "on init" tab right?
This runs the stuff just one time when it starts up? Correct?

[Johnster]

@jstap A new thought came up... this means I can only run the EA once on a single computer? There is no magic number attached or something?
