Hello !

After update on build 419 (Vista_32) MetaEditor not working.

If 'I press the button with icon of MetaEdit or click on MetaEditor.exe in WinExplorer, nothing happens ... dead.

Please solution for this situation.

I have similar issues with Metaeditor on Win7 after upgrading. Things worked just fine before the upgrade.

Metaeditor no longer remembers my last "file save as" location and always defaults to "my user-id\virtual store\temp". I then need to navigate everytime to the correct directory where my experts are stored.

I cannot open files via a webbrowser (mq4 file extension associations) anymore while metaeditor is already open. If I close metaeditor first, and then click on the weblink the file opens just fine.

I was always able to click on a forum post and the mql file would open directly in metaeditor. I could then "file->save as" the file in either experts or indicators folders. Due to the above issues, I now have a couple of additional, annoying steps.

Is It Possible To Metatrader known bugs ... Simple problem i'm looking

Could you please fix this bug which is mentioned in a MQL4 reference manual:

Expert Advisor is a mechanical trading system (MTS) linked up to a certain chart. An Advisor starts to run with every incoming tick for a given symbol. The Advisor will not be launched for a new, tick if it is processing the previous one at this moment (i.e., the Advisor has not completed its operation yet). The Advisor can both inform you about a possibility to trade and trade at an account automatically sending orders directly to the trade server. Like most trading systems, the terminal supports testing strategies on history data with displaying trading in-and-out points in the chart.

Because of such processing algorithm I miss ~25% of ticks every day.

Not a bug. EA's can be coded to NEVER return from start.

if your code takes so long, then fix your code. What are you calculating that you need to do it every tick?

What do you mean by "NEVER return from start." ?

Here's a simple code example to show you the problem:

int start() {
   Print(StringConcatenate("[",Volume[0],"] ",DoubleToStr(Bid,Digits)));
}

And here is output:

2012.04.17 21:55:39     testTicks EURUSD,M1: [12] 1.31335
2012.04.17 21:55:39     testTicks EURUSD,M1: [11] 1.31332

2012.04.17 21:55:14     testTicks EURUSD,M1: [2] 1.31318

Third tick wasn't processed. Ticks between 7 and 11 are also missing.

If this is not a bug, then what?

And here's Expert log with lots of ticks missing:

That isn't from the experts log file . . . unless you edited it significantly . . .

The log file fills from the top to bottom, the tabs, expert tab, journal tab, etc fill from the bottom to the top. What you have pasted here is filled from the bottom to the top (oldest entry at the bottom) suggesting it is from the experts tab . . . not from the log file.

The log files are complete while the information in the tabs can often be incomplete as they cannot keep up with the flow of data . . . the log file is the acid test, if it shows you have an issue then maybe you do.
