(Mysterious) Stack overflow with DLL call

I'm using a DLL that verifies a username/pass online, and returns a value based on the result. I've encountered a very frustrating problem, which is why I'm asking if anyone has had similar experience. I use a script to call the function one time only. MT5 finds the DLL, but instead of returning the

Error code 4023

I'm receiving the error code 4023 when using a DLL (only occasionally), but can't find any information what this code stands for. Anyone from the MT4 crew who can answer this

Why is there a difference in EA's/Indicators regarding DDL usage?

I have a client who use a dll to validate user details with a server, and so far we've only used it on indicators (for about a year). When I tried to use the validation with an EA instead (exactly the same code), it simply doesn't work. While trying to find the reason why it is so, i created a

Just want to make you all a bit jealous!

Why does the ability to run EAs on demo accounts stop after some time?

Hi, on every single platform I've tried, after about a month I can't forward test my EAs on demo accounts anymore. It doesn't help if I create a new account, re-reinstall the platform or anything else. Not even on real account platforms, where I can create an additional demo account, the EA feature

Terminate EA from initialization phase?

I working on an DLL authorization module for use with MetaTrader. As my final step, I want this module to only be used when the indicator is applied. I wonder if there is any way to completely shut down the indicator once a conditions is set? If I use "return(0)" in initialization, it will just pass
