"Ask manual confirmation" makes EA not trade
Hello! i've got some EAs and i installed them on my demo account, and i can't seem to make any of them trade automatically when i uncheck the "ask manual confirmation". if i check it, the order requests start appearing, and i guess it runs fine.. are some EA's built so that they won't work but with manual confirmation or something? (none of many in a big list ever worked automatically)
i am running metatrader 4 build 225, the EAs might be older, i don't know...
I have exactly the same problem on the same version.
Have you ticked "Allow Live Trading"?
And do you have access to the source code (.mq4)?

I have exactly the same problem on the same version.
I believe I have figured it out.
ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,0,0,"",1234,0,Blue);
works but doesn't have a stop loss or take profit
ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,dStopLoss,dTakeProfit,"",1234,0,Blue);
does not work
I changed it to:
ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,3,0,0,"",1234,0,Blue);
OrderModify(ticket,OrderOpenPrice(),dStopLoss,dTakeProfit,0,Purple);
but trading closed as I was about to test it.
Go figure.

There are some brokers that don't allow opening a trade at "Market" with SL and TP.
I know of FXCM and MB-Trading.
What you did will solve the problem.

what the hell it is ?
i find out those broker who do not limit the distance between sl / tp and market price,
they can not place sl,tp at the moment of opening trade ~ ~
i use 2 hours to find out the reason why the ea didn't trade at live, but tester mode do
it should be the internal problem of mt4 when place sl/tp at opening an order

It is not a problem with the MT4.
It is a limitation by the broker.
Take a look at the attached PDF.
Thanks Kelly but I do not see any attached file.
