Expert advisor not working for live trading in Fxpro MT4

New comment
 
I am trying my first Expert in Fxpro MT4. It worked fine in the Strategy Tester with trades executing. I loaded the Expert into the M15 chart, checked live trading and the smiley face appears. However, no trades are executing, nor is anything writing to the journal. Any suggestions?

I will check that. Maybe the problem is that my lot calculation is not working properly, as compared to the Strategy Tester that starts at $10,000. Thanks.
 

How long have you wait to get a trade ?

Minutes ?

Hours ?

Days ?

Weeks ?

or Months ?

Maybe you haven't wait long enough to get a trade.....

Is the tester showing every trading day a trade ??

Hi Postal,

There are two places to enable EA's for trading...

One is in the EA itself...and the other is in the Tools/Options/ExpertAdvisors Tab in the menu.

Both have to be enabled for live trading.

Hope this helps,

Robert

 
I think you can get these values when using a demo account or in the tester.
