OnTimer and OnTick called once

[[Deleted]]

Hi,i'm trying to discover out why OnTimer is called once.

in my Init Method i have :

EventSetTimer(10);
OnTimer();

Inside the method OnTimer,i'm printing a number.

But this number is printed once  and the OnTimer is not called anymore.

Do you have any suggestions ?

edit : the method OnTick is called once too even if the EA is in the Chart running and the price changes.

In my computer works fine, but when i put in my VPS,don't work. ( i have other expert advisors running without problems. )

No need to called OnTimer() from OnInit().

Here's a very basic OnTimer() example that works:

#property strict

long g_timerCount = 0;

int OnInit()
{
    EventSetTimer(1);    // every second

    return INIT_SUCCEEDED;
}

void OnTick() {}

void OnTimer() 
{
    PrintFormat("%s(): g_timerCount [%d]", __FUNCTION__, g_timerCount++);
}

edit : the method OnTick is called once too even if the EA is in the Chart running and the price changes.

No idea. Post your code if you want additional help.

Thanks for the help. 

But the OnTimer and OnTicket  are  called once. 

So the problem is not related about the timer as I thought

Sounds like you EA is dying. Did you check the error logs?
