WHRoeder:
Why? That's perfectly acceptable for a script. The compiler should complain with the use of OnStart() in a EA and OnTick() in a script.

You are right about OnStart() vs OnTick()..., but :

OnInit

The OnInit() function is the Init event handler. It must be of void or int type, with no parameters:

...

The Init event is generated immediately after an Expert Advisor or an indicator is downloaded; this event is not generated for scripts.

Same for OnDeinit().

You can, at the moment, still use init() and deinit() . . . just not OnInit() and OnDeinit() . . . it's pretty intuitive if you think about it

Please don't answer inside the quote.

Weird. It's probably not a big deal, but I am short on idea at the moment.

Sure any little problem is caused by the new MT4 build now


Right-click on the file you just downloaded, Properties and Unblock.

This is just silly. So many things we have not been warned about.

Should the compiler pick this up and warn the user. It seems to warn you about every other damn thing under the sun.

Please don't exaggerate. It's a new feature from mql5, you don't have to use it. If you want to use it, read the documentation.
