Why is it that an EA will trade when i backtest it but will never

execute a trade when i put it on a real or DEMO account?

Does it show a happy face in the upper right-hand corner of the chart?

Or a sad face?

Or an x?

Don't forget to click "Allow live trading" before attaching to chart. Then click expert advisor tab for your smiley face.

Have you checked the journal and experts tabs for error messages?

Does the EA check for dates? or for "if ( IsTesting() ) .."
