I have a weird problem...
Testing a EA, runs fine produces a backtest. But the second time I run a backtest with the EA (or any EA for that matter), MT4 immediately hangs and I have to kill it. It doesn't matter if I try to run with different parameters, a different EA, or if just hit "Start" again; same result.
I have scanned my code for obvious infinite loops - nothing. I saw in another topic that it might be related to the use of time functions so I removed those - no change. And it always hangs on the second test run, not on the first.
My best guess is that something gets "left over" from running the EA test, but I cannot figure out what it might be. I take care to close all open files (one) and to remove any open and pending orders on deinit.
Any suggestions are welcome!
