MT4 Message 4024

MT4 Message: Internal error

Issue

The MT4 Expert tab shows that there is a 'internal error' in the MT4.

The 4024 comes up when the MT4 is busy, and some request from the EA, like to refresh the chart area, cannot be processed without delay. This is an internal issue to the MT4 due to a busy or overloaded environment. The impact of this issue is that the chart area may get refreshed with some delay. However, in extreme cases this may become an issue impacting the trading as well.

Resolution

If you get this 4024 only occasionally, a couple of times a day then you may ignore this message. However, if you get this message very regularly, then your MT4 or computer could be overloaded or its performance degraded. In this case exit your MT4, reboot your computer, and only start the MT4 up and no other applications which you do not use. If you still get 4024 messages then close some of the charts, detach some of the EAs in your MT4. This is to reduce the load on your computer and to eliminate this message.
