Have you got a smiley face beside the EA on the chart?
CB
yes, smiley face is there, next to the EA name. its at upper right corner.
I pretty sure code is correct. probably somewhere I messed up the setting.
nothing wrong with my code, i just reboot my computer. now, its working, alert box showed up. I didn't turn it off for about a week. this is weird.
i used a long time win98.
after 24 hours the system crashed.
later i found out, that this is a win98 bug, because a internal counter overflows.
if you dont use linux, is always a godd advise to reboot the system in regularly intervals.
sure there are other systems that are stable over month, but i only know of some linux distributions.
besides that, MT4 crash relativ often, but this may depend on my code (divison by zero or endless loops etc)
sometimes only a reboot helped in my case

I created an simple EA and only droped following two lines in the "Start()" function.
Alert("1111121");
Print("1111121");
compiled it and return back to MetaTrader terminal. then I added this EA on EUR/USD 1 min chart. wait for about 5 mins. no Alert pop out, checked "expert" tab, "1111121" didnt show up there.
Do I accidently changed some settings and disable those 2 functions?
Please help me.
