## 🔧 Key Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Error Handling
|
||||
```mql5
|
||||
// Before
|
||||
if(m_indicator_handle == INVALID_HANDLE)
|
||||
{
|
||||
Print("Failed to create indicator handle");
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// After
|
||||
if(m_indicator_handle == INVALID_HANDLE)
|
||||
{
|
||||
int error = GetLastError();
|
||||
Print("[ERROR] Failed to create indicator handle for: ", m_indicator_name,
|
||||
" Error: ", ErrorDescription(error), " (", error, ")");
|
||||
return false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Debug Logging
|
||||
```mql5
|
||||
// Before
|
||||
// No logging
|
||||
|
||||
// After
|
||||
if(m_enable_debug)
|
||||
{
|
||||
Print("[SignalDetector] ", (has_buy ? "BUY" : "SELL"), " signal detected at: ",
|
||||
DoubleToString(result.signal_price, m_digits));
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Validation
|
||||
```mql5
|
||||
// Before
|
||||
if(has_buy && has_sell)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// No handling
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// After
|
||||
if(has_buy && has_sell)
|
||||
{
|
||||
Print("[WARNING] Both BUY and SELL signals detected. Using BUY signal.");
|
||||
has_sell = false;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||
Error: Indicator not found (4806)
|
||||

|
||||

## 🚀 Next Steps: Phase 3
|
||||
|
||||
### What's Next?
|
||||
Phase 3 will implement **Time Filtering** functionality:
|
||||
|
||||
1. ✅ Day of week validation
|
||||
2. ✅ Trading session validation
|
||||
3. ✅ Integration with main EA
|
||||
4. ✅ Testing time filter logic
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated time:** ~15-20 minutes

|
||||
## 📋 Testing Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Before moving to Phase 3, verify:
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] SignalDetector compiles without errors
|
||||
- [ ] Debug mode works correctly
|
||||
- [ ] Error messages appear in Experts tab
|
||||
- [ ] ATR fallback works when indicator buffers empty
|
||||
- [ ] Minimum TP is enforced
|
||||
- [ ] Conflicting signals are handled
|
||||
- [ ] All edge cases are covered
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 💡 Notes
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Debug Mode**: Controlled by `EnableDebugPrints` input parameter
|
||||
2. **Error Codes**: All errors include error code and description
|
||||
3. **Logging Format**: Consistent `[SignalDetector]` prefix for easy filtering
|
||||
4. **Validation**: All inputs are validated before use
|
||||
5. **Fallback**: Automatic ATR fallback when indicator data missing
|
||||
