The OP is probably referring to the sound that MetaTrader makes when a test comes to an end (sounds like a toy to me).
Ohhh, that squeaky sound.
In that case, it sounds like a critical error and so it should be reported in the journal.
Or maybe the testing period is very short.
Okay, so after a long breakaway from this I have got it to execute trades, a great success (partially) however it only executes sell signals. I get no errors or warnings when compiling this code but I don't think my syntax of all of the variables that decide whether it is a long or short signal is taken into account? is there a way for me to check to see when "running" the code which lines execute?
I imagine I need to create an If else statement between the sell and buy variables for it to trigger both longs and shorts. Which is the next item to work on - any useful posts specific to my problem or quick pointers greatly appreciated. I want to learn the debugging myself but could spend hours looking through potentially irrelevant material until I find a very specific instance where it is a similar problem.
thanks in advance as always!

Good Evening Fellow Traders,
This is my first attempt at creating an EA. I am not too bothered about the strategy and I doubt it would be profitable. This is more for a learning experience and to be guided by people much more knowledgeable than myself!
I just want it to execute "some" trades (backtesting), I believe all of the syntax is correct as I do not get any errors or warnings when compiling. However when backtesting in mt4 I press start and I immediately get a clown horn so I assume a parameter is missing?
Hoping that someone will be kind enough to point out the mistake which I am sure is obvious to those in the know!
thanks in advance!
JB
