Running EA "Goes To Sleep"

[mbes]

An EA that I wrote and demoing stops working sometimes (I don't know why!). I have written an indicator which continually checks the EA's operation and sounds an alarm when it detects that the EA has "gone to sleep". I then restart the EA manually.

Is it possible to have the indicator restart the EA automatically?

I would spend the effort looking for the root cause rather than work arounds ?

Hi ydrol,

I agree with you in theory, but in practice it is much easier said than done! There is no error message to indicate where the problem is.

Then you add some print statements, printing your variables and conclusions.

maybe a loop or a while function where the EA stays in

It is a very long EA. I cannot tell in which part the problem lies. In addition, the problem manifests itself randomly.

Put a print statement at the beginning and end (and returns) of every function. Last ("start function") statement tells you which function.
