ExpertRemove() removes expert only after end of OnTick (but shouldn't it immediately?!?)

[Tobias Johannes Zimmer]

int         num_cycles = 4;
int         index_cycles = 0;

double      close_price = 0.0;     // these are just some simple calculations to make it clear
double      sl_price = 0.0;        // that after fulfilling the condition for expert removal
double      tp_price = 0.0;        // the program still continues the OnTick content and only then it stops

int OnInit()
  {

   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);

   if(index_cycles > (num_cycles - 1))
      ExpertRemove();

   close_price = iClose(_Symbol, _Period, 0);
   sl_price = close_price - 100 * _Point;
   tp_price = close_price + 100 * _Point;

   index_cycles++;

Hello everybody, I invite you to run this through the debugger. Maybe I am missing something but look at the code: there is not much left to miss. Maybe I missed it good...

Maybe try to read the documentation ?

[Fernando Carreiro]

Please refer to the documentation ... Documentation on MQL5: Common Functions / ExpertRemove

Note

The Expert Advisor is not stopped immediately as you call ExpertRemove(); just a flag to stop the EA operation is set. That is, any next event won't be processed, OnDeinit() will be called and the Expert Advisor will be unloaded and removed from the chart.
