Question on loading EA

 

Hi,

i am new to MT4 and i have a question on expert advisors.

when implementing an expert advisor, my program does not seem to be executing trades live despite showing that it would have done so during the backtest. Is there something wrong with the code?

Any help will be appreciated!

Cheer, JY

 

Have you allowed live trading ?

Do you have a smiling face top right of your chart ?

 

hi all, thanks for the replies. i have indeed done all the steps that raptoruk has suggested. the smiley face has been activated. i would find out more abt the sleep function though. more about the coding, i just have an int start() function in which all my actions and conditions have been set at. if the problems still persist and my strategy tester continues to identify trades that should have been executed by the EA, the problem i presume is likely to be with the platform/broker?

thanks once again.

 
The problem is most likely to be with your code . . . are you checking return values from all Order functions and writing any errors to the log ? are you compensating for 4/5 Digits ? are you handling ECN Brokers correctly ?
