When I call it up I get

2013.05.31 13:08:41 temp (AUDUSD,M5) TERMINAL_COMPANY = MetaQuotes Software Corp.

It should be different broker, or something is wrong, thanks.

 AccountInfoString(ACCOUNT_SERVER)

terminal belongs to MetaQuotes Software Corp.

brokerAccountInfoString(ACCOUNT_SERVER)

Thanks, I lost it after all.

Good afternoon!

I am writing a multicurrency indicator. When I change the code again, it compiles well, but when I try to put an indicator on a chart, I get "invalid ex5 file". I tried to re-save it under a different name - the same thing. It turns out that the problem is in the code, but compilation is fine.

Does the compilation go through without any errors or warnings? Is it accurate?

There are no errors, there are warnings, mostly harmless ones like unused values. But there is this indicator buffers amount is less than needed. I'll try to dig here

Yes, that's exactly it. That's where the error lies:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator initialization function                         |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
  {
//--- indicator buffers mapping
   SetIndexBuffer(0,gEURThermB,INDICATOR_DATA);
   SetIndexBuffer(0,gCHFThermB,INDICATOR_DATA);
   gEURRM = new CRangeManager(1,0.2,20,"EURUSD");
   gCHFRM = new CRangeManager(1,0.2,20,"USDCHF");
//---

  }

Highlighted in red. Replace with 1.

Andrey Barinov 2013.06.04 06:44 #9907

#property indicator_buffers 1
#property indicator_plots   2

The number of buffers cannot be less than the number of plots. This is what the compiler tells you in the message.

MT4 Built 500. I set the alert to a certain level, it goes off, everything is fine. I deactivate the alert (space), it shows as suspended. Then the instrument reaches a threshold value and the alert is triggered. Is this how it should be?

ps. Yes, a side note. First I highlighted all the alerts with my mouse (6 of them) and pressed the spacebar, they all became suspended. After triggering one, I've already turned it off with spacebar only and it still triggers

On startup the terminal swears the specified symbol is not selected. I've dragged it to another MT5 via the cloud - it works, and with commented strings using tickers.

I'd try to find the reason, but I don't know where to start searching for such a stray error. Maybe I should re-install the terminal at once?
