Would it be possible to not use an array but use a simple integer instead ? When I build indicators I check for once per bar by populating an integer ThisBarStartTime = Time[0];

The BIG issue here is that when an EA is running live an array out of range error stops it dead in its tracks and no further actions can be taken. There is no way to create an alert, push, sms or Telegram meassage to the user because it has simply stopped working. Therefore it ends up with orphaned trades unless they can be identified and managed by reapplying the EA to the chart.

Instead of allow an array our of range error to occur, would it be possible to allow the code to continue and do further checks, i.e. look at the timeframe and check some other flag to see whether it has already been actioned yet on this bar. Then allow it to continue and maybe flag an alert to say there was an issue but at least the ea continues to run . . . . ?

Thanks for looking into it. Appreciated.

The only way I know to do that is by using custom code. I'm not a programmer so I'm afraid I cannot help here, but roar and jstap maybe helpful.

@mantadiver Possibly would do, if logically once per bar has limited all blocks beneath there is no point in adding another as the one above will stop the ones below from acting until the next bar.

Managed to incorporate the "NumberToString" function put forward by nicholish en at end of page one of this mql5 forum thread 135250 (Google: NumbersSeparator() function for Print big numbers).

This allows numbers to be automatically formatted with commas by using a new function:
NumberToString ( numbertoconvert , decimalplaces )

Create Custom Block Enter "NumberToString" as new block title in "new block..." field Look for pane "Global variables, includes" at bottom of page Type in "#include<Strings\String.mqh>" Look for pane in bottom right titled "Custom Functions" press "new" Remove the default text Paste in the code supplied by nicholish en:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
#include<Strings\String.mqh>
template<typename T>
string NumberToString(T number,int digits = 0,string sep=",")
{
CString num_str;
string prepend = number<0?"-":"";
number=number<0?-number:number;
int decimal_index = -1;
if(typename(number)=="double" || typename(number)=="float")
{
num_str.Assign(DoubleToString((double)number,digits));
decimal_index = num_str.Find(0,".");
}
else
num_str.Assign(string(number));
int len = (int)num_str.Len();
decimal_index = decimal_index > 0 ? decimal_index : len;
int res = len - (len - decimal_index);
for(int i = res-3;i>0;i-=3)
num_str.Insert(i,sep);
return prepend+num_str.Str();
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Press "save" & close window Press "save changes" at top of custom blocks screen Return to fxdreema builder, refresh browser window and add new custom block in Oninit

Then whenever number formats using commas are required use:-

NumberToString ( numbertoconvert , decimalplaces )

Output will show as 1,234,567 rather than 1234567.

@tipsywisdom Your probably right, they are not found it the object list.

@mantadiver You're welcome.

Thanks @jstap, yes that will work well, I guess I was just trying to stop clogging up with too many variables as flags are a quick and easy alternative.

@mantadiver You're welcome.

@fxdreema Of course. LOL. XD

@tulefi Sharing the link to your project would help to review it in depth, is possible.

@mantadiver Answered this in your other post.

@mantadiver That's for real coders. Is that even possible?

Scratch that, this website does the job perfectly:- https://webhook.site/

@mantadiver You're welcome. I hope someone can help us.

You may be right, I certainly notice it at around 5 - 6pm AESTeach day but it's now happening at other times as well.

I have just monitored the connection for a few minutes across 4 sites that I use and all show good connection quality except for fxDreema server which says "Bad".

Quality is measured by some combination of Packet Loss Percentage, Latency Percentile & Jitter. So whilst I am connected and can create & move blocks around most of the time it seems to fail at the point of downloading the MQL or EXE.

Just to be clear it is not happening all of the time so at the moment I just have to wait and keep trying but it is a bit of a fly in the otherwise very satisfying ointment.
