Remnants
-
I've discovered that after doing a lot of chopping and changing to an EA that sometimes remnants remain of variables that has been removed.
I have discovered this after trying to delete a variable which pointed out that is being used in a block.
I went to the block and reset the values by clicking on use the original value.
Even after doing so it still pointed out that the variable is being used on that block.
The only way to delete the variable was to delete the block.This is concerning because there might be more remnants remaining of previous values/blocks.
Much appreciated.

yes, this among other issues are widely known and people just continue to work around them rather than it getting fixed.
I have also noted before that "off" blocks can not be relied on to be off all the time too.

tip: No matter what, if you are to resave an EA from in browser...close and reopen your mt broker software before running any changes.

If someone shares a link with you, or you share a link with someone of a project. The browser version is the most up-to-date. Meaning, if I share a project with you, you change it in browser and then save and close it...that version will be that way forever. If you click back on that old link, it will NOT have the original project that I sent, it will be your edited version. This probably has something to do with cookies and the browsers....not so much a Dreema issue.

@jsauter86 Thanks for your reply. I have also found to have to reload the EA after editing. Rather than closing and opening MT4 I change the EA in the tester to a different one and switch back. I also do a reset of the Expert properties values if variables/constants has been modified. I've tested this by adding a [Draw text] block and changing the text to version numbers so I can see if the newer version has been loaded.
Cheers.
