See:
Same symptom here, and the fix in #5 did not resolve it. Draft 77044, MetaTrader 5, category Indicator.
State right now:
- source VolumeNodesValueMigration.mq5, compiles 0 errors 0 warnings
- screenshot in the Code attachment list: NO, removed as in #5 and #6
- screenshot inside the description: NO, and this is where I am stuck
- Step 4 Code: 20%
- Step 5 Test: Validation state Not started, Type shown as Expert Advisor
- no submit or send-for-proofreading control is rendered anywhere on the draft
The description editor toolbar on that page has 26 controls: undo, redo, bulleted list, numbered list, increase and decrease indent, horizontal line, Link, Video, Insert table, Code, Style, Bold, Italic, Underline, the four justify buttons, Clear styles, Autosaving, Translate, Editing mode. There is no image button. Sanjoy Kumar Bhui raised the same point in #10.
The page says "At least one screenshot is required with dimensions up to 750x500", and that line stays visible while the MQ5-file requirement clears, so the screenshot is evidently expected inside the description rather than in the attachment list.
Two questions:
1. How is an image inserted into a CodeBase description when the editor toolbar shows no image button? Writing an img tag by hand in Editing mode (F12) does not survive the save.
2. Is Type = Expert Advisor a consequence of the missing description image, or a separate condition? The file declares #property indicator_chart_window and OnCalculate, has no OnTick and no trade functions, and draws with chart objects instead of plot buffers, so it carries indicator_plots 0 and indicator_buffers 0.
Thank you.
