Hi all,
I took the following code straight from the MQL site , just basically put it inside a function that returns boolean based on the outcome and for some reason it is totally stopping the EA entirely.
I'm running it in the strategy tester, without this code, the tester works and processes as expected, with it, the tester just stops as soon as it starts - it prints the first line to the journal window and stops.
Any ideas appreciated - i lifted the block straight out of the sample here:
