OnTick does not execute
Hi,
I'm new to this and I'm stuck. My code does not seem to execute at all. Here my very simple code :
Are there any incoming ticks?
Show your complete code and use the code button (Alt+S) when pasting code.
I'm in mql5/mt5. It is in the Experts/Advisors folder in meta editor and in the Expert Advisors/Advisors folder in MetaTrader.
My complete code is:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| AutoTP.mq5 | //| Copyright 2022 | //| | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #property copyright "Copyright 2022" #property link "" #property version "1.00" //--- input parameters input int TakeProfit=10; //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert initialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int OnInit() { return(INIT_SUCCEEDED); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert deinitialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnDeinit(const int reason) {} //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert tick function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnTick() { //--- Print("OnTick"); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Is your MetaTrader 5 connected to the broker account?
On what symbol chart are you attaching the EA and is the chart updating quote prices?
Please provide some screenshots.
I'm on EUR/USD 1M chart, the EA name is written in the top right so it's active. The chart is updating, I can place trades and all, so the account is connected.
Please note that the Market for EUR/USD is currently closed for the weekend. So, the chart cannot be updating (at least not now).
Either test on a different symbol that has activity during the weekend, or wait for Monday to continue testing.
When that happens please provide a full screenshot that includes the Chart, the Market Window and Journal log that shows something like this ...
