What MQL4 says

0 ERR_NO_ERROR
No error returned

From MQL4's table of error codes, read 24 October 2026. An Expert Advisor reads it with GetLastError() after a call fails; the Experts and Journal tabs print what the EA logs.

What causes it

Nothing failed: MQL4 gives 0 to ERR_NO_ERROR. A log that prints error 0 after a failed order read GetLastError() a second time; MQL4's GetLastError page says the last error is reset after each call.

How to fix it

Read GetLastError() once, right after the call that failed, and keep that value. OrderSend() returns -1 and OrderModify() false when they fail; print the stored value, because a second GetLastError() returns 0.

These tools calculate from your inputs, supported historical records or explicitly labelled teaching examples. They do not verify a live account, predict future returns or confirm that a broker or prop-firm rule has been met. Missing costs, floating losses and changed market conditions can materially change outcomes. Trading can lose the capital committed to it; check the stated method and your account specifications.
