Hi,

Made an EA and was wondering why it did not work if there were no errors i the code. And found a problem. Even if i put that rookie code(bellow) i get init() alert that function initialized and that's it! I do not get any alert from start() function! How should i reach that code in start function? When i remove EA from window i get that alert that denit() function triggered. So problem is with that code in start() function. Anybody knows why i can't reach it? Tried in M1,M5 charts, tried reload metatrader and nothing...

   Alert("New tick ",Count,"   Price = ",Price);// Alert

Where is saved this EA ?

Which MT4 build are you using ?

The smiling face isn't needed for the posted code to run, it's only needed to trade.
