EA malfunction

[cfabian]

Hi there,
I noticed when testing an EA, same EA in different pairs, that some times it stops (in one of the instances, and is a random thing).
How do I know it stops? Well, the smiley is there as it should be. BUT, I have the trace fuction to show the indicator lines and see if it acts accordingly. So, I notice that the EA stops because it stops placing trades and the trace lines stops drawing as well, but the chart continues normally.

Why it stops, or how to make it reactivate?

Thanks

was something in journal, message or info why it was stopped?

No, it just stopped placing orders and drawing the trace function lines. This has happened few times already, no errors, and not always same pair that I can "recreate" the error.

I guess you have same issue as I had many times and in my case it was not only fxdreema EA, it was EAs created with "my own code" - this problem is something with MT4 and I have rule:
after a couple of tests EA (mainly on different pairs) is great restart MT4, or delete big log files in mql4 tester folder

Thanks for your response Miro. I've restarted my MT4 instances. Let's see how it goes.

Lets see what Fxdreema has to say as well.

The test ends by itself or it hangs?

If something hangs, then the reason is most likely infinite loop somewhere. But I don't know why this can happen in MT4 just like that...
