Mt5 Robot wont trade certain instruments but works for others.

 

I have never built a custom expert adviser that has executed a trade for instruments other than currencies and JPN225 in MT5.

I wish to test the same code on cryptos and shares etc

I wish to find out where the problem could be...

 
How we should know without error code and expert code?

Let me put it like this, is it supposed to work for other instruments if it works for some?? Assuming the symbol to be traded is set to "NULL" or to trade current symbol on chart..

Unless you have properly programmed for all types of quoting conditions, margin calculations, tick sizes, volume conditions, and other things, then there is no guarantee that an EA will be able to work with all types of symbols. There are actually many nuances and differences to be considered. You will need to test in many conditions and with many symbols, if you really wish to have an EA robust enough to work on anything.
