Problems with Comment()

New comment
 

I am having problems using Comment(). It works fine in testing but when I attach to chart comments do not display.

Below is very simple EA that just shows "this is a test"

Am i missing a setting in MT4 to allow for comments??

ARe you trying to do this "right now" when the markets are closed? Because if you are then of course the comment won't show, there are no ticks being received by the chart as needed to trigger start().
