Unfortunately, not always. If you don't connect for a long time, the terminal gives out "Account disable" and then you have to log in manually. This happens e.g. at a foundation where the servers are usually switched off overnight.

And in this case (with a long lack of connection), if you run the command "File" -> "Connect to trading account" in the window will be exactly the same trading account?
 
Exactly the same. I only set up one account.
 
Dmitri Custurov:
Hello all. I asked this question several pages ago, but I will try again. Is there any way to re-login my account when MT5 server connection is interrupted? Search on forums did not give anything.
If I restart the terminal, does it start with running EAs (I don't have the terminal installed, I cannot check)? If yes, then you can write a shell script that will do the restart. And pull this script from your EA.

This is either a bug or a specific setup of the broker. Please contact Service Desk with this problem. It should not happen.
 
Can the developers comment on the promised, but unimplemented, ability to return a function value by reference? Have they not got around to it, or is there some difficulty with it?

Here is the script that brings up the "File" menu - "Connect to trading account" - click on the "OK" button - so the terminal will connect to the last trading account that was authenticated:

If everything works, I will clean up the code and post it in KodoBase.

MQL4. The StringToCharArray() description says "Symbolically copies a string converted from unicode to ansi into a specified location of an array of uchar type". I have an impression that there is an error in the description. With this function, you can simply convert a character into a number corresponding to the code depending on the character encoding (the function has 5 parameters). I.e. there is no conversion "... from unicode to ansi..." here. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If I need to find code, for example, for € symbol for Ansi, then in place of 5th parameter I will write CP_ACP. If as UTF7, then CP_UTF7. If for Unicode, I use StringToShortArray() (see script).

#property strict
void OnStart()
  {
   string a = "€"; // euro symbol
   uchar  ArrayAnsi[1], ArrayUTF7[1];
   ushort ArrayUnicode[1];
   
   int Count;
   Count=StringToCharArray(a,ArrayAnsi,0,WHOLE_ARRAY,CP_ACP);
   Print("1) € in Ansi = ",IntegerToString(ArrayAnsi[0]));
   
   Count=StringToCharArray(a,ArrayUTF7,0,WHOLE_ARRAY,CP_UTF7);
   Print("2) € in UTF7 = ",IntegerToString(ArrayUTF7[0]));

   Count=StringToShortArray(a,ArrayUnicode,0,WHOLE_ARRAY);
   Print("3) € in Unicode = ",IntegerToString(ArrayUnicode[0]));
  }


 

A bug in the compiler.

template<typename T>  void  Func (T&)     {  }
template<typename T>  void  Func (T*&)    {  }

template<typename T>  void  InterFunc(T& var)  { Func(var); }   // 'var' - parameter conversion not allowed
  

class A {  };


void F1()  { A a;   InterFunc(a);  }

void F2()  { A* a;  Func(a);  }

If you remove the F2 function, however, it compiles normally.

 

Compiler error.

class A {  };


void Func(A* const&)   {   }


void OnStart()
  {    
    A* const a= NULL;
    
    Func(a);  // 'a' - cannot convert from const pointer to nonconst pointer
  }
