OnTimer() (which drains the command queue via executeCommand()) was only called from OnTick() during backtesting. In live trading, commands from the .NET client would queue up and never be processed until the next market tick arrived, making the EA unresponsive on low-volume symbols or outside market hours. - Add EventSetMillisecondTimer(100) in init() for live trading mode - Call OnTimer() on every tick regardless of mode (supplements the timer) - Add EventKillTimer() in deinit() for cleanup Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The .ex5 binary was stale and still referenced removed DLL imports (getIntValue, getDoubleValue, etc.) that no longer exist in MT5Connector.dll since the migration to the JSON payload-based protocol (getPayload). This caused "unresolved import function call" errors when loading the EA in MetaTrader. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
MtApi5.ex5was stale and still referenced removed DLL functions (getIntValue,getDoubleValue, etc.) fromMT5Connector.dll. Recompiled to match the current source which uses the JSON payload-based protocol (getPayload).OnTimer()/executeCommand()was only called fromOnTick()during backtesting. In live mode, commands from the .NET client would queue up until the next market tick, making the EA unresponsive on low-volume symbols or outside market hours. Now usesEventSetMillisecondTimer(100)in live mode.Test plan
