It works perfectly in testing mode. But when I attach it to a demo account error 4808 occurs. (MT5 log at the bottom):

Any ideas?

Okay.

I have studied this issue.
The problem is the large number of input parameters of the indicator. If I comment out most of them, the EA can successfully load it.

So the solution to the problem is to reduce the number of input parameters.
To do this, open the indicator file (HarmonicPatternFinderV3.mq5), then go to the file " HPFGlobals.mqh" and open it, and then delete the keyword 'input' before the unnecessary input parameters. Here you can also set default values for all input parameters.
Finally, go to the main indicator file and compile it.

I hope this helps.

It works for me now. So I am. Very many thanks!

I am very thankfull for what you are doing for us and especially for making the Hamonic Patterns work now.

So why haven't you changed your satisfaction mark in this thread? 🤔

You can try to ask MetaQuotes to fix this problem and allow to call indicators with more than 64 parameters. But they will ignore you for sure.

So I'm doing what I can do to change what I can change.

Okay I removed every "input" starting with line 129 to 227, now it works on the account. Tester results look good too (are the same). It allready opend a first position on a demo account.


Modification of input parameters was the key.

Thank you!


Will you update CP to support this large amount of inputs? Or maybe just ignore them if they are too many?

This can't be fixed inside the EA. This is a bug/limitation of MT.

I removed "input" from the "color" parameters, I guess the other values are relevant.

I compiled it and now get this (when attached to account):

It is not enough, the number of parameters is still large.

Try to remove all 'input' words and then add them back section by section.
