Compilation Fixes Applied

Issues Fixed

1. Reserved Keyword Error - "protected"

Problem:

'protected' is a reserved keyword in MQL5 and cannot be used as a variable name

Location: ERMT_PME_1.2.mq5:985

Original Code:

double protected, peak, retracement;
g_profit_max.GetProtectionStatus(ticket, protected, peak, retracement);

if(protected > 0)
{
    locked_positions++;
    total_locked_profit += protected;
}

Fixed Code:

double protected_profit, peak_profit, retracement_pct;
g_profit_max.GetProtectionStatus(ticket, protected_profit, peak_profit, retracement_pct);

if(protected_profit > 0)
{
    locked_positions++;
    total_locked_profit += protected_profit;
}

Status: ✅ Fixed

2. Type Conversion Warning

Problem:

possible loss of data due to type conversion from 'long' to 'int'

Location: PositionManager_PME_Complete.mqh:562

Original Code:

long deal_reason = HistoryDealGetInteger(deal_ticket, DEAL_REASON);
switch(deal_reason)

Fixed Code:

long deal_reason = HistoryDealGetInteger(deal_ticket, DEAL_REASON);
switch((int)deal_reason)  // Explicit cast to int

Status: ✅ Fixed
