New Order ticket is grayed out and won't let me put in a new order!

Why can I not make a new order in any of the pairs? My connection is fine, and I have logged in and out again, but it still will not let me order. I do have a demo account but did a dozen orders the other week trying to play through some indicators and nothing was an issue. What's happening?!

Your demo account may have expired, try opening a new one.

When the new order window is greyed out, means that either you are not logged in with a valid account, or your haven't enabled trading for the current one.

 
i cannot place a demo with either demo or real account with the new order. how do i solve the issue?

Make sure you have enabled the specific symbol you are trying to trade in MT4/5 >> View >> Symbols.

 
Best ask your broker to assist you.
There could be several reasons. 

No connection
Invalid trade volume
Symbol not tradeable 
Symbol not tradeable hours
Blocked account
