really really mysterious??

[Carl Schreiber]

At the moment only one terminal b625 is running, 4 charts are open and no EA is applied!!

Now I started my script in debug-mode: line by line. It shall start my test_EA to check how I can set and get the chart comment - an all of a sudden I there was a sell-limit order opened.

The account is not used as it is only to get the newest mt4-builts.

What I really wanted to check is just that the script 1) opens a new chart, 2) places a comment on that new chart and 3) applies a template that will apply the test_EA

void OnStart()
  {

                string tEA= "test_EA";
           string sy = "GBPUSD";
           long chID = ChartOpen( sy, PERIOD_M1 );
           string rmCmt = "IniComment from "+(string)ChartID()+" on " + sy+" with "+(string)chID;
                ChartSetString( chID, CHART_COMMENT, rmCmt );
           if ( !ChartApplyTemplate( chID, tEA ) ) {
                        Alert(  "ERROR(",_LastError,"): Can't apply Template to ",sy,"?");
           }
           Print("Opened ",sy," >",rmCmt,"<  ",(string)chID);
        
   
  }

OK, the test_EA should just grap the comment from the script and save it in a variable and show it:

        Print("MyCmt(",__LINE__,"): ",IniCmt);

   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);

void OnTick()
  {

        Comment("another Comment\n",IniCmt);
   
  }

I should see: s.th. like:

another Comment
IniComment from 130370193351027483 on GBPUSD with 130370193351027484

But I read on the chart only: another Comment another Comment another Comment\n

And that mysterious limit-order all of a sudden??

Anybody with an idea?
