Hi Guys,

im trying to create a counter for a project ... but have some problems...

Nothing speacial - but its only count around 200 ... try and see what happens...

What could i do that it counts correct from 0 - to MaxCount with 1 step ??


Inserted Code
int start()
  {
//----
   int MaxCount = 10000;
   int i = 0;


   if(StrToTime("2010.06.01 00:25") == TimeCurrent()) {
     while(  i < MaxCount )
      {
         Print(i);
         Comment(i);
         i++;
      }
     }


   return(0);
  }

Thanks for your help !

Regards
Tim

you must be doing something wrong. This loop will count to 9999, it will not stop at 200.

But it will not be triggered very often, chances that you ever receive a tick with a timestamp of exactly 2010.06.01 00:25 and 0 seconds are not very big. What is this strange date and time checking good for?

Also the title of this thread does not make any sense. The maximum number for int which is a signed 32 bit longint is 2^31-1 and this number has nothing to do with the presence of a while somewhere else in the code.

hey time..... if you want it done in 1 step, or more, you need to tell it how many steps....

so you can use another 'if' ..... such as below.....

additional code can reset j to 0 if need be, thereby at a later point running your 'while' loop again.......h

int init()

   return(0);
  }

int start()
  {
//----
   int MaxCount = 10;
   int i;
   if(j==0)
   {
   if(StrToTime("2010.06.01 00:25") <= TimeCurrent()) {
     while(  i < MaxCount )
      {
         Print(i);
         Comment(i);
         i++;
      }
     }
     j=1;
     }
//----
   return(0);
  }
//+------------------
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

Hi,

thanks for your help. I only want to see if the counter is right ( thats why i used the time )
Its working like it should - but the Print function in MT4 dont show all counts in the journal tab. I use now the log function from 7bit with Debugview ... there i see thats all working fine.

Best wishes
