What happened to "Check Status Message"?
-
Hi there,
What happened to the "Check 'Status' Message" block? I can't find it after the latest update of the software. I used to use the "Check 'Status' Message' block a lot as it's useful when you open a sequence of trades and need to make something happen when the EA reaches a certain part of the sequence.
Cheers

This block was used to read the text from some object, but I decided that it's better to do that by using normal variables
And I changed the default values of this status text, which is something that I want to be able to do without wondering "Is anybody using those default values now in the Check Status Message block?" -
Hmmm... too much wondering
. No worries, I copied the block from an EA I created in the previous version.Thanks

Yes. Back then I decided and created this "Status" message and the block within... 4 hours. It was pretty fast, so maybe not the best idea
But some people are using it. I tried to remove the block in the past and somebody wrote to me like you. But... you know, there are variables, there are flags, there are objects... many things that can be used as a temporary storage. Do you really want to see your temporarily saved value on the chart, or you just don't know how to use regular variables? -
I use it for trades in sequence, it is convenient for me to see on the chart in which sequence the EA is currently (sequence4, sequence5 etc.)
If I quickly want to change something in the EA when a sequence occurs I just pop the check "status" block in there. Easy, simple.
