Will NOT using #property strict cause an EA to not send trades?

I've managed to get the variables to pass though and simulate the previous results very closely with this... int counted_bars=Bars-MathMax(MathMax(IntInd1S2,IntInd2S2),MathMax(IntInd1S1,IntInd2S1)); for(int i=Bars-counted_bars-1;i>0;i--) { PerH1 = ...

Fixing an Array out of range error in MT4 EA

Best Way to Code Trade Once per Bar at Open on MT4?

Yeah that's kind of what I've done with int BarsCount = 0 if (Bars>BarsCount) etc. However, the EA will fire off a trade between actual bar openings on longer tf charts like one hour or four hour bars. I'm currently coding for four hour bars and ...

EXAMPLE 2 PART 2 When I delete the "just raw signals" portion in the second half of code, which do not trigger trades, the results are much different, but why? The raw signals are purely for printing signals, not executing or modifying signals. I'm ...

MT4 2 Different Test Results for What Reason?
