MY Expert Trader "Day Trader" doesn't excute autotrade....help
Could you post the MQL4 code (.mql) of your EA ?
I have used that EA, it should work. Press the 'Experts' tab (along from your 'trade'
and 'account history' tabs), see if there are any error messages coming through.

I have also had problems with this. Do you have any other suggestions if we are
not getting any errors? (btw, I looked at the code and it seems okay)I have used that EA, it should work. Press the 'Experts' tab (along from your 'trade' and 'account history' tabs), see if there are any error messages coming through.

How long are you letting it run for? It only averages two trades per 24-hours and
thats on average,.. it can go days at a time without a trade.
I added a comment for this EA in the 'code base' section. An interesting EA for someone with a little code experience who is looking for a good basic platform to hack around. You really need to understand how it exits bad trades though before you use it, least you wake up one morning to find you account completely wiped out.

The way it was programmed, sure didn't work. The programming structure is out of shape.
