I backtested it again and live tested it. It works fine.

Are you using win 7? If that is the case read this :http://www.molanis.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=630&p=2333&hilit=win#p2333
You may have an old version of the indicator on your Windows Roaming directory. For win 7 is better to install mt5 in a directory that is not program files - this way the roaming won't affect you

I didn't no - the Heiken Ashi indicator that i'm using is already installed as a custom indicator in MT5 when downloaded from http://www.metaquotes.net/en/metatrader5. Should I not use this indicator?

I'm using Windows Vista. Both Molanis EA visual wizard and the Metrader 5 programs are installed directly on my C drive - I've had problems in the past when MT5 and the Molanis software are in different folders, so I saved both in C:/Molanis.

Incidentally, when I attach the EA in MT5 the journal says "expert loaded successfully", but then I immediately get the alerts.

A couple of things which may be contributing to the problem:

a) When I install MT5 many of the files and folders have a 64 suffix - such as "metaeditor64" and "mql564". In each case I have deleted the '64' from the end (as previously advised)

b) The 'create expert advisor for MT5' button under the menu: trading diagram/generate MQL5 code does not work - the EA never appears in the MT5 list of EA's even if I refresh the list or re-start MT5. I have reported this problem before and was told to use the 'copy EA code to clipboard option' instead. I then simply create a new EA directly in MT5 and overwrite the code with that generated by the Molanis EA visual wizard.

Sometimes the included and the downloaded are different. For example to get all signals from the awesome indicator, you need to download it. The ones that comes with mt won't work. Our response is for the indicator you posted. You may want to use that one, put it in the indicator's folder.

It's good to have the installation on C:

For a)
It's ok - that is the way to go

For b)
You should install mt5 in c: (not in program files) and it will allow you to use the buttons to create the ea instead of copying the code.
The other solution is to change the permission in the mt5 folder as shown in the faq

I have fixed the issue with roaming files you get with Vista by reviewing the FAQ.
When MT5 is installed on C: the EA generation does not work.
When MT5 is installed on C:program files the EA code generation does work, however I still get the alerts:

"error creating handles for indicators - error 4802!!"

Please review that you are using the right version of the indicator. (Easiest way is to use the one you posted)

I am - to be certain I copied the indicator from this posting and pasted it over the indicator in MetaEditor. I then re-compiled the EA in EAVW to be sure it's using the correct Heiken Ashi

Your issue is really odd. On our end it works fine (tested it in 2 machines)
Can you do one last thing? Get the indicator you posted, save it with a different name, and then use that name in the strategy builder.

Nope - same old problem.
To be honest, I don't expect to pay $99 for some software which, after hours and hours of fiddling around, still doesn't work. From my perspective, I dont see how you can claim this software is suitable for release. It would be quicker for me to learn MQL!
Refund please?

I did some research on that error. Some users have reported the same issue in win 64 bits in the mql5 forum http://www.mql5.com/en/search#!keyword=4802 - that explains why it works fine in our testing (we do not have a 64 bits version to test). Initially it was a bug in mt5 but it was supposed to be fixed.
The solution seems to be:
-run the software using a especial parameter.
-or some other complex stuff
Please contact us by email to discuss about it.
