Log files suddenly 4-5 GB, what is going on??
I got ride of the comments and let it optimize again all the way, and by the end the log file was 32 GB.
Since my EA switches between the 15 minute charts and the 1-hour charts depending on
Since my EA switches between the 15 minute charts and the 1-hour charts depending on
if((MathAbs(FastTrend-SlowTrend)<=RangePoint*Point))
would that be a problem? And of so how could I fix it so I could still backtest it?

That thread might help: http://www.forex-tsd.com/metatrader-4/5288-log-files-3-8-gb-generated-mt4-00-build-201-a.html
I have a serious problem that came up suddenly and I have no idea what to do. I try to optimize this EA but the further it optimizes the slower it goes. So I stop it, and check the log files, and every time the log file is 4-5 GB in size. Is there something in my expert causing this? Or is this something wrong with metatrader?
May be you have FAT32 instead NTFS?
Maximum file size in FAT32 someting about 4GB
No unfortunately I've already looked at that thread and all they advise to do is get rid of any print or comment functions, which I already have.
