Sample MQL5 repair diagnostic: initialization failure

This fictional case shows what a bounded written code diagnosis produces. It represents no client, trading result or proprietary strategy.

First evidenced failure

Initialize — Compile and Load have recorded passes.

Smallest next step

Guard the unavailable property and fail with one explicit diagnostic.

Acceptance basis

Four deterministic cases including boundary and restart behaviour.

1. Frozen evidence

Platform: MetaTrader 5 build 5326 / Windows / synthetic demo environment
Program: Fictional authorized-source Expert Advisor
Compile: Passed with 0 errors and 0 warnings
Load: Passed on a clean EURUSD H1 chart
Initialize: Failed immediately after reading an unavailable custom symbol property
First journal line: OnInit returned INIT_FAILED after the property check

Classification

The source compiles and attaches, so rewriting compile or load logic is unsupported. The first evidenced failure is initialization; the unavailable property and the immediately following INIT_FAILED result define the first controlled repair target.

2. Acceptance matrix

Swipe the table sideways to read every case.

Case	Input	Expected behaviour	Class
Property available	Valid property value	Initialization succeeds and logs the frozen value	Positive
Property unavailable	API returns no value	Initialization fails safely with one actionable message	Negative
Boundary value	Property equals the documented minimum	Initialization follows the explicit boundary rule	Boundary
Clean restart	Same inputs after terminal restart	Result and log classification remain deterministic	Regression

3. Bounded repair plan

Check the property call result before consuming its value.
Define the supported fallback or explicit fail-closed branch.
Log the terminal build, symbol and failed property once.
Re-run the four frozen cases without changing strategy rules.

Trading risk disclosure

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical performance disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. There are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. Hypothetical results are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight, do not involve financial risk, and cannot completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. Market conditions, the ability to withstand losses, and adherence to a trading program can all materially affect actual results.
