Hi! A script I coded successfully compiles without any errors but won't submit a trade in the strategy tester, and my print function doesn't return a value, I am stuck is there any advice that could be given on what the next steps would be in order to start the debugging process?

Thank you!

You have already been informed to provide the source code file (.mq5), not the executable file (.ex5).

Nothing can be done with executable files. If you want help with your code, then show the source code.

Also, if you generated the code with ChatGPT (or other A.I.) then we will not help you. It generates horrible code, mixing MQL4 and MQL5.

I understand, thank you! I will make the necessary adjustments.

This is a messy mixture of MQL5 and MQL4 code. It certainly looks like horribly generated code.

Did I not say not to ask for help with A.I. generated code?

It is a total mess. It cannot be fixed. It has to be properly written from scratch.

Either learn to code MQL5 properly, or hire someone to code it for you.
