Safe Logger: why your log lines vanish while FileOpen keeps returning success

Four EAs writing to the same file, all with FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE, FileSeek(SEEK_END), FileWrite, FileClose. Looks correct. Every FileOpen returns success. No error in the log. And the lines vanish. Reason: FILE_SHARE_WRITE lets all four open at the same time. All four call FileSeek(SEEK_END) and get THE SAME offset, because none has written yet. All four write at the same position. Whoever closes last wins. Three lines vanish silently. In my case: 12 events expected, 8 in the file. The fix is to open EXCLUSIVELY (no FILE_SHARE_WRITE) and retry while another EA holds the file. And to shout in the log when the retries run out: a log that fails silently is worse than no log at all, because you trust it. The demo script reproduces both modes. To see the loss, drag it onto four charts at the same time with safe mode off and count the lines in the CSV. On a single chart the defect does not show up - which is why it passes in testing and breaks in production.

Clock Diagnostic: TimeCurrent() freezes and steps backwards

TimeCurrent() is not a clock. It is the stamp of the LAST TICK. Two consequences break robots in production: 1. It freezes. With no tick it does not move: illiquid instrument, end of session, unstable connection - and any rule based on it stops with it. 2. It steps backwards: on a symbol switch, a reconnection or a tick from another instrument, the value can go back. The case that cost me a whole protection: I compared the date of a daily decision with TimeCurrent() to reject an expired one. The server clock stepped back to the previous day, the comparison matched, and four EAs accepted YESTERDAY's decision as valid. The gate that should have failed closed failed open - without a single error in the log. Rule: TimeLocal() for timestamps, dates, day changes, expiry - all that must always move forward; TimeCurrent() for session hours and market data. The script measures the divergence in your environment and reports both symptoms live. Run it with the market closed.
