Topic: Div by 0 on EA start?

I'm running into a divide by 0 error when one of my EA's initializes.  So far that's the only one with an issue so not sure what make it special.  I preloaded all the data the broker has for the symbol/timeframe(s) and it's still not happy so not sure what to look at here's a screenshot:

Re: Div by 0 on EA start?

Hello Gizmo,

I cannot reproduce the bug. I tested the attached mq4 file without problem. I also exported the strategy to MT5 and it also works.

Do you still have problems with it?

Re: Div by 0 on EA start?

I tried it again and got the same issue.... dug a bit deeper though and figured out what was going on.  The strategy was generated against GBPUSD M1.  It also had a longer timeframe RSI slot which was based on GBPUSD M5.  The broker I was running it on decided to name the symbol "GBPUSDi" so for the primary timeframe that switched over fine however the longer timeframe was still looking at GBPUSD (without the "i".) 

I hand hacked the mql code as a test and it came up as expected.
