EA not opening orders after changing profile

[Aira MJ]

Hi,

Does anybody know why might the EA not be opening any orders after I changed the account? I am backtesting so I do not want to restart the MT4 platform and VPS again, I did it once, but it has not opened any trades in a whole week.

Best regards

Do you have the sub-boxes checked?
          Tools → Options (control+O) → Expert Advisors → Allow automated trading

All of them per chart and general. It stopped at first because I had the option to Stop Automatic Trading when the Profile Changes but after reactivating it, it never worked again.

Here it is Kourosh. I hope it is what you mean. I tried launching another EA and it did work: EA Acorralado, you can see it in the log file, but mine totally stopped working, although it does not show any problems.

Saves his file but could not open it in case of GOLD chart.

That could be a good reason, because there is a while loop at the code when it does not open the file, it might have been stopping all the EAs at other charts from working, I guess.

I think this expert can not work for GOLD, because this site has  indices news.

Also, uppercase and lowercase letters in gold may not be able to load the gold file

I have seen it work in Gold, it is just that it must have all news disconnected. Today it seems to be working okay for pairs and indices. True I have not yet seen Gold opening any orders today, though the market is ranging a bit.

So you checked “Disable automated trading when the account has been changed” and you wonder why it stopped when you changed the account?
