It is excluded from the compiled file because it is not used (the compiled file includes only what is needed).

To get it included you have to call the function datestart() somewhere.

[jlpi]

for instance modify the start function, but instead of calling date_start I would rather include the code in it, because I guess that you want that the EA is not executed if the date has passed the limit and this function date start() returns 0 in both cases.

Furthermore the function CurTime() is not used anymore

So remove datestart completely

and modify the start function

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//| Start function |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

void start()

{

string expire_date = "2004.31.06"; //<-- hard coded datetime

datetime e_d = StrToTime(expire_date);

if (TimeCurrent() >= e_d)

{

Alert ("The trial version has been expired!");

return(0);

}

//---- check for history and trading

if(Bars<100 || IsTradeAllowed()==false) return;

//---- calculate open orders by current symbol

if(CalculateCurrentOrders(Symbol())==0) CheckForOpen();

else CheckForClose();

//----

}

I tried to put this date-code in another ea which has

int init

int deinit

int start

If i put datecheck-code in int init I got the alert-box with trial version expired, but the ea still put in the orders. How do i do to get the ea to stop executing?

And how would the code be if placed in int start section?

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//| Start function |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

void start()

{

string expire_date = "2004.31.06"; //<-- hard coded datetime

datetime e_d = StrToTime(expire_date);

if (TimeCurrent() >= e_d)

{

Alert ("The trial version has been expired!");

return(0);

}
