Hi. I have been coding and testing my first EA. This is a completely automated trading system. The good news is: it works! The bad news is...
I started it last night, and eagerly jumped out of bed this morning, hoping to find millions of dollars in my account. Just kidding, it's just a demo account, for now. But I discovered that my PC rebooted during the night due to a Windows update.
So obviously I have turned off Windows update. And at some point I will put a UPS on my PC and my cable modem etc to make sure it all stays up.
Then I ran it during the day today. It opened a trade, and it was watching & waiting for it to close (or to see the right conditions to manually close it). But suddenly it quit. I am thinking maybe it lost connection to the FX server?
My "Experts" log window says:
10:38:01 autotrade1 EURUSD,H4: deinitialized
10:38:01 autotrade1 EURUSD,H4: unint reason 6
and my "Journal" log window shows:
10:37:59 850044492': login
10:30:00 850044492': login
So I guess my questions are...
- What happened? Did it lose connection to the server?
- Is this common? Is it likely to happen while trading against the Live server?
- Is there any special magic to avoid it? Or to recover from it?
Thank you.

This link shows the initialize thing
fraab, dabbler, thank you. I don't immediately see how that could happen but it is possible.
