"Doesn't work" is meaningless — just like saying the car doesn't work. Doesn't start, won't go in gear, no electrical, missing the key, flat tires — meaningless.

My program doesn't work. I think system facility X is broken.

Also check the codes and images.
Here is the RSI function. I didn't add the variables. They are also okay too.
I also added a real account results of build 1260 and backtest of build 1280. They look same right? Yes. They have to be like this. But when I go live on build 1280, it just bypasses my RSI function and open orders without filtering RSI.
@MetaQuotes exist problem with MT5 and MT4
The symbolName in mt5 is 32int but int mt4 is max 12 characters.
Eg.
After the WTI negative issues where mt4 not have implemented negative prices btw, brokers implemented strategy to change instruments with new settlements.
for example: commodityUSDWTIOIL and after CME in short time changed contracts, the brokers need to add new parallel instrument, then for this was commodityUSDWTIOIL. (with dot) after this commodityUSDWTIOIL_ ("_" character). Then they start in mt4 commodityWTI and commodityWTI_ and fail. This made changes for feed data in mt5, and for regulations and regulator whole policy agrements, etc. around symbol information for clients. When legal departemnt acepted, then they discover problems, this made again changes to provide info to market regulator and clients, and 3-5times.. bot.. regulator and clients confused.
This expecting 2 diffrent sources feed for supply data feed for mt4 and mt5 around this same instrument in case cane be one and one bridge/plugin.
Some brokers offer both mt4 and mt5 and using this some feed source and liqidity provider, and in this type phliosophy exist problem. This same when data should be imported or used symbol in mql4, the code not working with symbol if character is more than 12, this made EA/Indicator bugs. User importing data betwen mt4 and mt5..
Some brokers offer additional data around sentiment, etc. this made disonanse if they can put "clear symbol name" and combining with some shorcuts (eg. InstaForex, etc.)
Need to check this and update here.
I'm sugesting to solve this by quick change in market window max 64 characters or best 128 characters. Not sense to limit to 12 in case of problems around grouping symbols
