How to correctly build notifications

[David Diez]

Hi there,

I've tried to build a notification following the MQL5 guidelines, that's something like this:

               string CC=StringFormat(" [",CustomComment,"]");
               string PTC=StringFormat("Positions to close: ",TC);
               string LS=StringFormat(", loss: ",DoubleToString(SLoss++,2));
               string PS=StringFormat(", profit: ",DoubleToString(SProfit++,2));
               string Notification=(string)StringConcatenate(PTC,PS,LS,CC);SendNotification(Notification);

Result should be something like this:

Positions to close: 3, profit: 12, loss: 5 [CustomComment]

When I check if it's OK the print result is always '20'.

Anyone can see what's wrong?

But since you were argumentative (twice (2019)) and (five times (2019)) I won't be helping. Two (2) years later, you are still arguing (2021.06.10) with people trying to help you, I will not be helping you.

WTH are you always annoying me with thesame thing? I'm just trying to build a notification.

Please read the documentation on StringFormat function again attentively. You are using it incorrectly.

While you are at it, read over the documentation for StringConcatenate again as well, as you are also using it incorrectly too.
