on many strategies i am getting this kind of error - cannot set timer
previous MQL code from B122 doesnt do that
will the trading itself be affected by this error or not? i am talking here about REAL MONEY
Status changed from New to Refused
this error will not affect the strategies profitability, it has no impact on trading.
MetaTrader5 started to make problems when setting timers some time ago, we needed to modify MQL a little. Sometimes it throws this kind of error, but it's nothing important really.
We use the timer to periodically clean up global variables that were set in order for the strategy to manage its orders. When orders get closed or expire, a lot of variables stay there, so we are cleaning it.
Best regards,
Tomas
