So the utility must be an indicator or script. That is, you need to compile the code as an indicator or script (not as an EA) and publish it in the Utilities section.

Thanks for the tip, I will give it a try.

Why such limitations on the choice of the product form?
There are known limitations in indicators (for example, you can't use Sleep Webrequest, etc.), a script will be reset when you switch timeframe...
Is this the official position on utilities?
Why can't the utility be designed as an expert?
Is this the official position on utilities?
No. I'm just sharing my experience of placing products in the Market.
Why such restrictions on the choice of product form?
I'm based on elementary logic. If the program does not trade, why make it an Expert Advisor? It is much easier to make it an indicator. You can attach more than one indicator to the chart.
The indicators have well known limitations (for example, you can't use Sleep Webrequest, etc.), a script will be reset when you switch timeframe...
What other limitations do the indicators have that are absent for the non-trading Expert Advisors? Nothing comes to my mind yet.
Why cannot the utility be designed as an Expert Advisor?
The test ended with errors
You bet! :)
For example, you can efficiently implement saving of computational resources by using Sleep - the load on the CPU.
Or one more example: you can implement waiting for downloading of necessary timeseries.
Or another example: you can also implement animation of graphics.
In the script, it is impossible to implement timer without it.
You can think of a lot of other things that can be done using Sleep ;)

This is a special conundrum for developers. Everyone gets around them in their own way.

Yes, there are a lot of things that can be done using Sleep ;)
Please )))
You're welcome ))
It's a bit abstract... We're talking about a specific thing and a specific environment.
Can you give us specific arguments why the Sleep we're discussing is bad for program architecture in our context, of course?
I've given some arguments... And I don't see any flaws in the architecture when using Sleep to solve these tasks.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your statement? If so, please correct it.
I just want to understand: what am I missing? I personally find this function very useful and often use it for some tasks in MQL and I can't even imagine that it can solve such important tasks more elegantly.
