"Access violation write to 0x4018E55A" Error

 

Hello,


I have tried contacting the mql5 support directly, but was directed to this forums. After the latest 1312 mt4 build update i now get the "

2020.12.06 15:19:06.822 2018.10.18 08:00:00 Access violation write to 0x4018E55A" error when try running the backtest.


Nothing had changed from the previous tests that were run and completed perfectly to now where after about 2 years of run time i get the "Access violation write" error. All that changed was me allowing the mt4 to update from the previous version to the latest 1312.


The coder i am working with as well as the information i read on forums had said that it has nothing to do with the code, but is an internal error in the terminal and needs to be reported to mql5.


I am happy to provide more information if needed. By this point i have fully reinstalled mt4 platform several times with a full newly configured settings, indis and experts as well as the newly dowloaded data. I still get the error. Sometimes it shows the error, sometimes it just stops the test, sometimes it closes the terminal completely. 


I would really appreciate a timely assistance with this issue. Please let me know if i need to provide any further details. Thank you.

  1. There is nothing us users here can do.
  2. Generate a simple test case that can reproduce the issue.

Thank you for your reply, i was directed to the forums by the mql5 support. My understanding is that mql5 staff will help with the issue through here. 

2. I get the error every time i try to run the 5 year backtest that i usually use for my bench mark readings / comparison. When i do i get 3 outcomes:

- The mt4 terminal closes itself and i have to restart it

- I get the "Access violation write to 0x4018E55A" error

- Test stops itself abruptly 

This happened on the first try after i updated the mt4 to 1312. I have to admit i did it by mistake as i try to stay away from these mt4 updates as long as possible. Now i am paying for the mistake at this point by 20+ wasted hours of trying to resolve the issue.
