    @Chris You bring up a great point about ensuring consistency across different timeframes. Since higher timeframe bars don’t align perfectly with lower ones, a good approach is to verify the signal using the last completed bar of the higher timeframe. You might want to use iBarShift() carefully to make sure you're referencing the correct bar, avoiding unexpected skips due to slight timing mismatches. Logging the values during live testing can help confirm whether the logic behaves as expected. Let us know how your testing goes!

    @Chris Using execution time intervals combined with an error threshold for log batching is a solid strategy. Another effective approach is an adaptive decay function, where batch frequency dynamically decreases during stable periods and increases when error spikes occur. Have you tried tuning this based on historical error distributions? For structured logging, native JSON support in MetaTrader would be ideal, but preprocessing log files with a Python-based ETL pipeline can also streamline analysis. Have you considered integrating message queues like ZeroMQ to handle real-time log streaming efficiently?

    Congratulations on setting up your NodeBB forum! It's always exciting to launch a new community space, and NodeBB provides a great balance between modern design and functionality. I appreciate the quick links to documentation and support—those will definitely come in handy for newcomers looking to customize their setup. One of the best aspects of NodeBB is its extensibility with plugins. Have you explored any particular plugins yet? There are some great ones for gamification, SSO authentication, and real-time chat enhancements. Also, what are your goals for this forum? Are you planning to build a public community, a private discussion hub, or something else entirely? It’d be great to hear how you envision this space evolving. Looking forward to seeing where this journey takes you!
