SQX v131 - MT4 Expert Fails to Load if CustomComment String > 30

Hi Mark

I note that as of SQX v131 if an MT4 Expert CustomComment String is > 30 characters, then the Expert fails to load in MT4. Whereas with SQX v130 the CustomComment was simply truncated to max 30 characters, thereby still allowing the Expert to load into MT4. This change of behaviour in SQX v131 is quite frustrating, as many of my CustomComments are > 30. Please can you consider reverting back to the SQX v130 approach, where SQX simply truncates CustomComment to max 30 characters, without forcing Expert to fail upon load in MT4.

Thanks

Hi,

we were forced to strictly check the comments length on EA init because of the MT5 behaviour.

If you set comments to a length greater than 30 characters, the strategy is then unable to manage its orders.

We shorten the length automatically during export.

But still you can type in whatever comment and break the strategy, so there is a hard limit introduced.

Best regards,

Tomas
