Where do you get that idea? Perhaps you should read the manual.
Type Function name Parameters Application Comment
int OnInit none Expert Advisors and indicators Init event handler. It allows to use the void return type.
void OnDeinit const int reason Expert Advisors and indicators Deinit event handler.

Did you build this code from the wizard? If so, you may need to add it yourself.

OnDeinit() works for both Experts and Indicators.

void OnDeinit(const int reason)
{
    Print(StringFormat("%s(): reason [%d]", __FUNCTION__, reason));
}

Did you build this code from the wizard? 

Exactly.

Thanks,
Pierre

Is it useful to delete an handle in a indicator when we closing it? I do this in expert advisor writing

void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {
   if(GIO != INVALID_HANDLE)
      IndicatorRelease(GIO);
  }

The terminal is supposed to do this after an indicator or ea is removed from any chart, however, it is advisable to remove the handle yourself, yes.

For Tester, please check it this out
