Hello,

How can I clear my MT4 from global variables automatically everytime MT4 starts or every hour?

thanks

Ricardo.

 
You can't. Terminal variables are kept for a month after last use. If you want to clear them, you must do it.
 

If you use GlobalVariableTemp() they will be automatically deleted when the terminal closes.

how can i do it?

how can i run this script everytime MT4 starts or closes?

Remember my robot is already running. Thanks for your support.


i found this script too.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------
// deleteall.mq4
// The program is intended to be used as an example in MQL4 Tutorial.
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
int start()                             // Special start() function
  {
   GlobalVariablesDeleteAll();          // Deleting of all GVs
   PlaySound("W2.wav");                 // Sound
   return;                              // Exit
  }
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
 

This code can be added to your EA to delete all your global variables every hour, and whenever the EA gets initialized (i.e. when the terminal starts).

#property strict
   
int OnInit()
  {
   // your normal code
   EventSetTimer(1);
   OnTimer();       
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }

void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {
   // your normal code
   EventKillTimer();
  }

void OnTick()
  {
   // your normal code
  }

void OnTimer()
  {
   static int LastHour = -1;
   int ThisHour=Hour();
   if(LastHour!=ThisHour)
     {
      GlobalVariablesDeleteAll();     
      LastHour=ThisHour;
     }
  }

thank you for your answer but  I don't have access of the EA. The EA is not mine.

Is there another way? something i can add when MT4 starts and make loop with GlobalVariablesDeleteAll

Thanks for your help

Then it may not be a good idea to delete the GVs. The EA may not work properly if they are deleted
 

You can write your own indicator or EA (that code above is a complete EA if required) that does the above. Just make sure it is applied to a chart in your terminal and it will delete all GVs.

But please heed GumRai's warning. You could well break something in your other EAs and/or indicators.
