Debugging

Hi All,

Best,

It (the Comment()) is not disabled in visual mode.

Maybe you are having it within some if {} block and that prevents Comment() from displaying the information. Try changing the place (I usually change where comment is nested from beginning towards the end of code when trying to pinpoint the error). Here is a simple EA that when you run it on visual back test will show you comments as usual

int init() { return(0); }

int start()

{

Comment(TimeToStr(TimeLocal(),TIME_DATE|TIME_SECONDS));

return(0);

}

Glad that you solved it

I hate when there are errors in code and I know the feeling when you are trying to "kill the bugs". Happy further coding
