EA reset

[Eggo]

Hello, I searched in the forum about EA resetting but nothing found.

When my EA finishes work, I want to reset it, EA would work like newly added into the screen. How can this be done?

There is always a reset button with external parameters for backtest or forward test.

Thanks, I didn't see it earlier.

Maybe someone knows what it is the code of this "Reset" button, that I could add it into my program?

Hello Eggo!

I need that my EA close all EURUSD trades and finish work at 23:30 hrs. server time and work again at 24:00 hrs.

Do you know how to do it?

I don´t know how to stop it.

Thank you!

Sara

You may see strange behaviour using this, when the (global) variables are only initialized with declaration, before init(), and in init() not initialized.

For example when you change the chart or timeframe under a loaded ea or indi. The values will be different.

Not necessarily a good practice... - not yours, but this kind of init.

That problem is because you are modifying globals and not resetting them in init. FIX the code.

I do it like this. But not everybody.
