The last EA I posted has a 3 second lag and 50 (!) pips slippage. Price
12 charts of 3 seconds each - price won't have time to run that far. Or am I misunderstanding something?
Hopefully you can track it down. "Dropping" means about once every 2-3 minutes. If you don't - probably the server is too close, or there computer is too fast. I have part of my CPU taken up by a neural network packet, so MT gets 50%... Now... Here, disabled the neural network (there's a pause button, unlike some other programs). Error number one hasn't gone away, but has become a little less frequent. MT is "eating" 55-99% of CPU. Turning it on... MT gets 1.5 times less CPU time. Error became more frequent too.

...and thank you too, at least someone tried to work out the bugs ;)
Quark, I wrote about the Developer, not the developers. :) Get it? In some religions it's God, in others it's a different address.
Also, I wrote that my 9 EAs work fine on one account. But you're good at finding the conditions when MT4 is shoveling something wrong :)
See you Monday :)
The South is calling and the new f-function will be promptly tested in a week =)))))
A big hello to the South.
...and thank you too, at least someone tried to work out the bugs ;)
With one mistake. And how many of them...
I was only joking :) Although the principle is the same everywhere. If you ask correctly, you get an answer. If you swear, you get banned :)
And I also wrote that my 9 EAs are running fine on the same account. But you're good at finding the conditions when MT4 is shoveling something wrong :)
72 windows with 12 of my councillors - also. Then I added the 13th, and here we go... In general, of course, if I take the last EA posted in this branch and use it at watches instead of minutes, and increase pause from 3 seconds to 30 (as you suggested, by the way) there won't be errors. So the result is achieved, a positive one...
It's a pity about guys from English forum, but I won't translate our posts for them. Not in good health :(
Good luck,
Quark
The problem occurs on different EAs. Logic in all of them was modified with semaphores (as Slava suggested) and delay (Rosh) - so that in given 10 seconds only 1 EA was working. All errors I mentioned above disappeared (so far), except number 6.
