I looked up the function in their language guide when you first posted it and was like wtf?!

I'm very surprised that it returns a boolean value. It looks like the MQL developers suppose that the function may fail !?!!!!

If you are even more curious how MQL makes a text lowercase, the answer is:

   string text = "MyText";
   StringToLower(text);
   Print(text);

I'm programming from 30 years and today I lost 1 hour for searching a bug in my online data service API. However, the problem was in this "perfectly intuitive" code.

You have to be always suspicious when you see a programming language with commands that starts with a noun.

The worst is that you're probably used to a sane language like C# that does the intuitive action (Hell even the evil language js deals with uppercase/lowercase strings right.)  I looked up the function in their language guide when you first posted it and was like wtf?!

Somehow using free software to earn an income will not work.

Even video games cost a lot of money!

Can you guess what will return the following command:

string text = StringToLower("MyText");

My guess is that it will return "mytext".
