Any new builds of metatrader 4?
Hi!
I have two very specific question about the function of the Metatrader and its Log Files. Anyone here how is an expert on this and can help me?
I’m using an EA which places an order at the beginning of the TF which was set (And if additionaly some other requirements are fulfilled.). So if I set Timeframe M5 the EA will open an order at 0:00, 0:05, 0:10 and so on…
Normally I trade on M30, to have a reasonable output. Sometimes I shortly put the TF to M1 to trigger an additional order. This was working well all the time.
But the following happened (See the affected part of the Log File Below):
At 11:12:39.722 I again set the MT4 to M1 to trigger an order. M1 was initialized also. That is ok.
Then at 11:12:40.954 I set back the MT4 to M30. There should be M30. But the system initialized M1. I definitely set M30. I checked this also on screenshots…
So I suppose a malfunction on the brokers execution (or anything like this).
So the EA opened a Trade every minute which was costly.
I discussed this with my account manager, but she only answered that it has to be a topic of my EA.
I don’t think so.
Here are two specific questions:
1. Does initializing the TF depend on the specific EA code?
Because I think it doesn’t. It’s absolutely independent from the EA I use.
Any EA initializes the TF according to the setting of MT4. So it can’t be a malfunction of the EA?
2. Is it possible to initialize the same TF twice again? Like it happened from
11:12:39.722 LionofWS_XXX_V2 EURJPYmicro,M1: initialized
to
11:12:40.954 LionofWS_XXX_V2 EURJPYmicro,M1: initialized?
Because I think that’s not possible. There has to be at least one another TF in between.
This makes absolutely no sense and I guess there is a malfunction anywhere.
Thanks for your help!!

You are right that it depends on your EA
But also how does your EA control the time and orders opening. What happened to you seems like that case - but without the code that controls when the order should be opened, all we can do is guess
Thanks for your reply!
But to clarify question one: Initializing a TF will be done independent from the EA I use... The EA (code) can't initalize the timeframe. It only happens in the MT4 with changing the TF and an EA applyied to the chart?
I of course can show the EA code. It's a simpe martingale EA. But it won't bring furhter information if initalizing the TF can't be done with the EA?
What do you think about question two?
Initalizing the TF twice consecutively is not possible in a proper working system?
