How to manually forward test an ea.

 

Hi, I have a few EAs that I am trying to forward test on my Oanda account. The problem is that the EAs arent telling me when to buy or sell. I turned on live trading and I also have the expert advisor button on. Attached is an EMA_Cross_2 EA that will not give me arrows when its supposed to buy/sell.

hi thn,

what broker mt4 are you using for this ea? are the quotes close to oanda's?

i've thought it might be possible to try follow an ea on mt4 but trade on oanda but it is going to be stressful to have to watch your ea entrys all the time eventhough sl/tp will be given once trade open.

 

Word of advice. Don't reinvent the wheel.

 

What do you mean?

Where has the wheel been invented...

I do notice that some people have used AutoIt to trigger trades to Oanda....if that is what you mean.
