Double click the EA and set the desired parameters and after that it will load onto a chart.

Make sure you have allowed 'Auto Trading' in your terminal and when expert adviser attached to chart you need to have a smiley face in upper right chart corner else it won't trade for you

Look for a profitable EA first before you try to use it.

Demo accounts are mandatory but also choosing interesting EA.

I do not have "smiley face" ,so not all the same for the auto trade . But, its easiest to start it, goes to "journal" it will say is it on, and allowed or not . But, you are right, most of the time, there will be "smiley face" is upper right corner.

Smiley face is on MT4, on MT5 you will see that icon green or red.

Hello,

You must also check the "allow automated trading" checkbox when initializing the EA.
