I'm trying to run some tests with MakeGrid193 (attached), and I can't get it to open any trades in a demo account earlier today, nor in the backtester. I have the gridActive boolean as true, as well as "wantLongs" and "wantShorts" also set to true. The log doesn't show any errors or anything, but I can't seem to open any trades with this thing. Have there been MT4 upgrades that stopped this from working in the past few years (wasn't active in forex for a few years there).
I'm having similar problems with v197 as well (also attached). I can get other experts to run without problem, so at least I know my platform is working (running in a VM...I don't run windows).
Has anyone experienced this before (and hopefully figured out why )

for MakeGrid193: Turn switch wantBreakout=true for open orders expert. (Default wantBreakout=false)
Newdigital: It's not the no-hedge thing, since other EAs I'm testing will successfully have multiple longs and shorts simultaneously open, but thanks.
PANNEK: Thanks for the suggestion, but still not working on 193. Same problem with the 197 you've provided with the 5-digit fix.
I've had it work several years ago, so I guess it's time to dig in the code and see why this isn't working. I'll add a bit of logging and will probably figure it out.
MakeGrid193 still working?

Hi mrebersv,
I moved your post to this thread with EAs and with trades.
May be - something with ecn/stp no-hedge?
You can read few pages of the thread to see what the other people did for example.

Hey, guys. Thanks for the help.

Just got v197 working. I'll start looking at 193 later. Thanks for the help guys.
Hi mrebersv,
I did not test any of those versions sorry ...
I think - it is something with ECN ...
your broker is IBFX or any of the US?
EA versions are here which you uploaded https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173459/page5 right?
I will ask someone to help.

Mrebersv, will take a look at it and see if i can help.
No worries, guys. I got v197 working and coded in the extras I wanted. Thanks for offering your help, but I'm good at the moment. Just testing.
