I need to show Alert when Tick/Start stops for given time in MQL.

Hi is there any way to detect if Tick/Start has stopped at some interval.

Problem is i don't know where to check that as OnTick function won't trigger when there are no ticks.

I used sleep inside tick and tried to grab previous TICKCOUNT values and compare - didn't work

I tried IsConnected function - didn't work.

Use the OnTimer() event handler. Also, search the forum because this question has already been asked and answered here (I listed two, but there should be more).
