When launching a script, an indicator, an Expert Advisor, the names of variables are displayed in the Input Parameters tab

extern int Период=10;

If the #property strict directive is present, the comment is displayed instead of the variable name

#property strict
extern int Период=10;  // Период отображения информации

This is more informative, IMHO

Well, then especially for those who didn't know that. See the screenshot, everything is clear there.

There is a glitch in MT4: When the depo is greater than 999999, one digit is missing from the detailed report chart.

If it is over 999999, two digits are missing. Only the top 5 digits are always displayed.

Don't forget to say that you have the font scale set to 125% in the system settings

Did you know that you can set the length of the story? This affects the time it takes to search!

If you set today - there will be less of everything! At midnight will the story be empty? Optimally - the last 3 days.

To the developers: how can you set the depth of history programmatically?

Unlike MQL5, in MQL4 static arrays can change size.

Is there an error in the help?

There is no error if you consider that there are no static arrays in MQL4.

On the subject of static, there is a subtle point in both languages

mt4 build 1066

I have found a regression error with initialisation order of static variables within functions

This was working in build 1065. I have reported this to the service desk

#property strict
#property indicator_chart_window

int TestBrokenStatic()
{
   static int stInt = 101;
   
   stInt++;
   return stInt;
}

int OnInit()
{
   static int result = TestBrokenStatic();
   
   Print("TestStatic Expected result 102   - Actual result=", result);
   result = TestBrokenStatic();
   Print("TestStatic Expected result 103   - Actual result=", result);
   
   return INIT_SUCCEEDED;
}

int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
                const int prev_calculated,
                const datetime &time[],
                const double &open[],
                const double &high[],
                const double &low[],
                const double &close[],
                const long &tick_volume[],
                const long &volume[],
                const int &spread[])
{
   return rates_total;
}

What a subtle point... Did you write it in SD?
