it's ok got it working (didn't switch capture on). I can see all sorts of benefits using DebugView but what's the alternative in MT4? thanks again for your help.
just getting started and a few simple questions: when I include the log() code in my MQL4 indicator and compile I get OutputDebugStringA - function not defined. do I need an #include? why is OutputDebugStringA used (is unicode not supported?)
