My trade manager EA has no trade operations (it only manages trades). How to post in market place?

[Desmond Leong]

Hi,

I created an EA that users can manage their trades with. It's a trade manager EA so it does not take trades, rather it is used to place trades. Because of this, it doesn't pass the verification check because the report comes back as no trade operations.

Does anyone know how I can go about solving this? Would greatly appreciate any help I can get.

Best regards,
Desmond L.

Mistake. No button "Download Trial"

I suspect that the EA is simply written in the old style, with the functions start () instead of OnTick ()

Any question novice, so as not to litter the forum. Pros, do not pass by. Without you nowhere - 6.

instead of calling the start function, call the required function

In new builds, instead of start, other names are more fashionable: OnTick in the Expert Advisor, OnCalculate in the Indicator and OnStart in the Script

There is one article which every seller on the market should read: it is about validation of the Market products - 

---------------- 

The checks a trading robot must pass before publication in the Market

Why products are checked before they are published in the Market 

Before any product is published in the Market, it must undergo compulsory preliminary checks, as a small error in the expert or indicator logic can cause losses on the trading account. That is why we have developed a series of basic checks to ensure the required quality level of the Market products.

• How to quickly catch and fix errors in trading robots
• Insufficient funds to perform trade operation
• Invalid volumes in trade operations
• Limiting Number of Pending Orders
• Limiting Number of Lots by a Specific Symbol
• Setting the TakeProfit and StopLoss levels within the SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL minimum level
• Attempt to modify order or position within the SYMBOL_TRADE_FREEZE_LEVEL freeze level
• Errors that occur when working with symbols which have insufficient quote history
• Array out of Range
• Zero Divide
• Sending a request to modify the levels without actually changing them
• Attempt to import compiled files (even EX4/EX5) and DLL
• Calling custom indicators with iCustom()
• Passing an invalid parameter to the function (runtime error)
• Access violation
• Consumption of the CPU resources and memory
• Articles for reading

If any errors are identified by the Market moderators in the process of checking your product, you will have to fix all of them. This article considers the most frequent errors made by developers in their trading robots and technical indicators. We also recommend reading the following articles:

I have removed some of your post as it seems more like an advertisment.

You can try uploading it as a utility, not an EA. That may make a difference.

Hey thanks for the info but this EA does not trade automatically. It is simply to manage the trade of users who place the trades manually. This is why there are no trade operations. 

How do I solve this?

I just provided the information which I found.

And yes, you can try to upload it as an utility for example.

no trade operations is not a reason to not pass the automatic validation.
