Thank you. All respect to you :o))
Partial right. Each data tick for the chart pair, EA start() is called.
Only start()
init() called when EA attached to chart or when chart environment alters eg, periodocity and also when recompile EA that attached to chart - have looksee at UninitializeReason()
maybe init() analogy is an .exe's 'once off' startup code (err, like the types I used to work with decades ago - lol)
data ticks are asynchronous regards clocktime - could be many or few milliseconds between, guess is function of FX trading...
maybe this helps?
not forget the mql4 book is good resource too!
guess I better re-read more often to refresh as obviously not 'with the program here'!
Which MQL4 book are you referring to?
What is despirately needed IMHO, is a book on programming EAs. Would love to work on that one with someone.
Plenty of info on site - just use the search form top right of all pages...
and - the book is full of ideas etc.
- really are many articles on this site, let alone the forum threads etc.
