'&&' - illegal operation use.

Hello fxdreema, Is it just me or are there been some changes to fxdreema build_100_desktop recently, because I could no longer compile any EA which contain Buy Now or Sell Now blocks, without seeing this error code = '&&' - illegal operation use.
thank you.

Build 100 was the same since December 2015
Unfortunately... because I'm not going to fix this error in it. I remember such report before by the way, I think it was in email and I probably fixed it in the web version, but I'm not sure what it was -
@b12 Did you have any luck fixing the error?
I also have the same error but I cant identify which block is causing it...
Regards

@b12 ahh, buy and sell, yep my buy and sell have also stopped working, terrific, my EA has
2400 blocks and wont migrate into the web version.It may be a pain FXDreema but we could really do with this issue being fixed.

2400 blocks? You know, I think that the compile error is the smallest problem here. 2400 blocks is... ok, I mean that even 100 blocks are too much. And I don't know how to explain to you that 2400 blocks most probably mean very bad design and everything needs to be redesigned anyway
The error is because it should be like this:
if (StringLen(symbol)>6 && StringSubstr(symbol, StringLen(symbol)-2)=="bo") {It comes from the main function to create new trades and orders. It's interesting that people report it more than 1 year later. The compiler that is inside the desktop version seems to work with it, but not the newest compiler (Meta Editor). I guess I need to do something about this, but there is some chance for something else to broke if I make another desktop version from this old age

@fxDreema yep, 100 blocks for a single pair trading EA...i gave up on single pair 6 years ago...2400 for a 'slightly different way to trade'.....and thats for the first EA, data comes in from the other two, so all in, 3 EA's with around 3000 blocks analysing the bias of all 28 pairs., produced as a dashboard, manual or auto..thanks for the recent info regarding the && issue, rebuilding that lot would have been a nightmare,,,! Pic shows half of the data, markets now closed..all those buttons are operable, manually or automatic..0_1484994898499_EA.png

Holy cow. If you ask me, I think that EA builders are not very suitable for some kind of programs. fxDreema is not very good for complex graphical stuff for sure. I don't understand how someone can reach even 100 blocks without starting to think to himself "Screw this, I better try to code this in MetaEditor"

@fxDreema ....you have made one hell of a powerfull software builder, personally i prefer the desktop, i find the layout better. obviously it's up to each and everybuilder to work out how best to utilise it. i decided rightly or wrongly a long time ago that no matter how many indicators are used, each trade has an equal chance of going up or down, disregarding spread, no matter what the indicators say. 100 blocks using a moving average and stoch really isn't going to do a great deal without knowing the overall direction of the whole market and then each group. I average out ten multiple pairs hedged to eliminate any chance of the broker messing with the MT4 plugin. They can mess with one pair but not ten on a multiple level.
As for programming in meta editor,, forget that, i'll leave that to the clever dudes, i just like pushing blocks around.
