Getting Critical Error with no Debug or Error information

 

Debugging my EA, I am getting:

Journal: 2025.09.03 07:37:44.290 MQL5 debugger Critical error while running expert 'PolishedGoldEA (XAUUSD,M15)'. Unknown error.

The Debug tab shows no Trace data at the error.

I searched Forum for Debug Critical Error and it said that the error information will be on the Journal tab, but it is not.

How do I find out What the Error is and Where the error is occurring?

Much Thanks.

 
Define a variable with a value at line 1 of your code. set the breakpoint there and go step by step through it all. global vars, static data and constructors of global objects are initialized before OnInit(). 

int __debug=0;

If the debugger doesn’t even get to that point, then its a library or DLL with static data which kills your EA.
