is it a quadruple tester?
 
Slawa:
a quad tester?

terminal four, but it's not a tester, says so in real life.

I'll try to get more information on the build.

and he has several terminals and is not working on this one.

 

I only have access to the mt5 account at this broker, I put the same Expert Advisor there with a mile timer - everything is ok, no errors.

 
GetLastError what does it say?
 

To be honest, I didn't put any processing on this function.

sent it to the client this way:

   if(!EventSetMillisecondTimer(TimeToCheckAverageSpread))EventSetTimer(MathCeil(TimeToCheckAverageSpread/1000));

got it out of the way...

everything works.

I will try to find a terminal to reproduce it.

 
I had the same thing, first in the profiler, then in the real one. The cause could not be localised. It's not happening now.
 
It is strange that this is only seen with one broker. And not always.

I have seen it at two brokers, and yes, it is rare and spontaneous, just as it disappears.

The same Expert Advisor was opened on a dozen of charts. After recompilation I got a dozen messagescannot set millisecond timer (15), I have caught error message: Error 4030 - chart does not respond and EA did not work. After recompiling the error has not repeated, everything started normally.
