New to MQL4 and having troubles using Comment

FynnS 2022.09.04 05:41

I am very new to this language and grasp most of it but i am having trouble getting comments to output to my chart.

Here is my Code

void OnTick()
{
Comment("hello");

}

Ive checked the background color and tried different terminals and they all produce no outcome using Comment.

It is the weekend. If there are no new ticks, OnTick() will not be called.

Try it in OnInit().

You could also call OnTick() from OnInit()

Thats quite handy if you have a lot of code in your OnTick function but you're not getting ticks, on the weekend ;)

void OnInit(){
   OnTick();
  }

void OnTick(){
  Comment(TimeCurrent()," ","hello");
}
