Did you check log files?

If there is no error in the log file, you will have to show code.

hello

i have no error in the log and in my code timer stoped but OnTick has not stoped

 

Why would OnTick() stop?

You should declare OnTimer() function. That function will be called when Timer event occures.

What exactly is happening and what do you expect to happen?

It's not documented anywhere but I wonder if the millisecond timer is keeping an internal count somewhere and eventually overflows the upper limit of int (2 147 483 647). Would be pretty easy to put a counter on it and see if that is the case.

The easiest way to try to get around it would be to destroy the timer say once an hour and then recreate it. Might even be enough just to change the timer interval and then change it back?

Either way, I'd suggest sending a bug report to Service Desk. And please report back here so others can learn from the problem :)

Cheers

hello

OnTick() did not stop ,

but i tested no this

 

EventKillTimer();

if(!EventSetTimer(1)){Print("Time Pr.."+GetLastError());return(0);} ,

i has get error 4024  but after some hours i will get only 4024 error and timer will stop

 

Error 4024 is internal error:

#define ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR                         4024   // new MQL4

 You should contact Service desk and send them description of the error.

You will find Service Desk link on your profile page.
