Can not set timer

New comment
 

I have an simple EA "test" that  when I run it it , calls "FFC" indicator , but I see (Can not set timer)

It happens when VPS is a little busy !

Is there solve for it ?

Files:
test.mq4  3 kb
ffc.mq4  71 kb
  
  1. a=iCustom(
   Symbol(),            // symbol 
      0,               // timeframe 
   "FFC_urlupdate_20210324 without numbers",           // path/name of the custom indicator compiled program 
     true,            // true/false: Active chart only 
    ⋮

    Make sure the filename matches. "ffc_1" is not "FFC_urlupdate_20210324 without numbers".

  2. Set timer sometimes fails. Check your return codes, and report your errors, loop until it succeeds.

Thanks for reply

1.Is true and no problem

2.FFC is working ok , but EA return "can not settimet()

I tried fix it by using loop before creating this topic but It no was success.

Can you do it if it does not waste your time ?

Your posted code has no such call.

No , not in EA , It is in indicator

When I run EA  , EA calls indicator, I get this error !!

With new version of MQL programming language available not only the approach of dealing with indicators have changed, but there are also new ways of how to create indicators. Furthermore, you have additional flexibility working with indicator's buffers - now you can specify the desired direction of indexing and get exactly as many indicator's values as you want. This article explains the basic methods of calling indicators and retrieving data from the indicator's buffers.
