MQL4 - function run in back test but not in Demo account

New comment
 

hello every one. 

this is my very First EA am trying to develop. in back testing the flow is exactly like am expecting it to be. 

i tried to put it on a demo account to see if any thing will arise. 

and it actually did not work  as it should be. 

in below snip code  in side the function 

void ShortTrade()

there is two blocks of code. 

1- Looking for first Peak

2- ZERO LEVEL RULE MET


what i do is the following 

i get the value from MACD main line. and compare it to two values (entered  manually)   

first line of code will compare the MACD_Current with the MACD_Target_P1 and if the condition is TRUE it will set a bool variable as true and draw a VObject line on that Bar 

it will always go in this block of code to make sure am holding the highest value 

after that it should go to the second block of code to check for the second bool "MACD_Near_Zero " and  compare it with the value am specifying if  the rule is met it will again draw a VObject 


when i ran the EA in a Demo account, it did not execute any other code block only the first block code even though when i put a print to check the values it should have gone to the next block of code but it did not 


am running it in a AUDUSD 15 minutes currency. 


i do hop my explanation is sufficient. thank you in advance for any advice
