Don't use a function OnStart() or start().

MetaTrader 4 platform beta build 1145

Probably the very old style event handlers init(), deinit() and start() are now considered obsolete and no longer supported.

If that is the case, you will have to update to the MQL4+ version of using OnInit(), OnDeinit() and OnTick() which have been the standard for many years now.

else if(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS)==5 || MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS)==3)

{

slippage=10*user_slippage;

}

if(IsTradeAllowed()==false)

{

}

// Updating current status

if(ShowTitle)

{

Display_Title();

}

if(ShowTradeComment)

{

Display_Info();

}

if(ShowStats)

}

InitVars();

UpdateVars();

SortByLots();

ShowData();

OnStart() is for scripts

OnTick() is for EAs
