Compiling issues?
-
Is anyone else having issues with saving and then getting your EA to trade?
I am currently building a EA based only on price action, when I make a change to it, I resave it as the same name, I go back to my MT5 software, refresh, and then run strategy tester. Many times lately after making small changes such as TP pips or SL, the EA will no longer work after a few small changes. I know there are no problems with what I am changing, such small adjustments to TP or SL shouldn't stop me EA from trading so I am wondering if anyone else is maybe having compiling issues?
I get these errors:
2021.03.21 12:04:06.331 Core 01 2017.01.02 00:01:31 Ticks data collector error: EURUSD cannot be backtested. Only the current symbol can be backtested. The EA will be terminated.
2021.03.21 12:04:06.331 Core 01 2017.01.02 00:01:31 ExpertRemove() function called
2021.03.21 12:04:06.331 Core 01 removed itself within OnTickI am not changing my date range between refreshes, I am not changing the time frame that I am testing.
If I recreate the EA with a from scratch each time, it will work. Can anyone explain what might be wrong?

@jsauter86 CAN YOU WRITE OUT HOW YOU WANT IT TO TRADE, YOUR INSTRUCTIONS FOR THEE EA ?
-
for a long, price must be over last weeks high and buy when it crosses the close of 2 weeks ago.
thats all.
-
@jsauter86 NOT CLEAR ENOUGH,
YOU MEAN WHEN PRICE CROSSES LAST WEEK HIGH YOU BUY,
AND SELL WHEN IT CROSSES THE LAST TWO WEEKS LOW ? -
dont worry about shorts...only longs.
if price is over week 1 candle high, buy when price crosses the close of week candle 2
I know it works because I can recreate another EA, but when I begin to modify things it goes corrupt as I save, changed, resave. It has nothing to do with my rules for entry.
