ResetLastError()?

[Chinedu Peter]

What is the work of the ResetLastError() function? Must one get an error to call the ResetLastError() or is it called in anticipation of an error or is it called where an error cannot be tolerated, e.g. where an open order has to close whatsoever in order to open another order to avoid multiple open orders?

Do you mean ResetLastError?

It is to "clear" the previously reported error, so that you can detect and respond to the next error going forward.

Check your return codes, and report your errors (including market prices and your variables). Don't look at GLE/LE unless you have an error. Don't just silence the compiler (MT5/MT4+strict), it is trying to help you.

Only those functions that return a value (e.g. iClose, MarketInfo, etc.) must you call ResetLastError before in order to check after.
