Downloaded an EA for demo account... and it's not working (?)

 

Just as the title states... I downloaded a free EA, it is active. It is currently listed under Navigator > Indicators > Expert Advisors > Market. I'm clueless as to what else to do. It is not taking any trades or doing anything at all.

I do see, when I open any chart, in the top right corner a picture of a little happy face with the name of the EA next to it.

I've tried right clicking on the EA in the navigator and among the several options, one I see is "Attach to Chart". I haven't done this as of yet because I didn't wanna mess anything up, not sure if that has anything to do with this.

Any ideas?

 

Some EAs are openning the trades as one time in a week or one trade in a day. The other EAs are openning many trades within 5 minutes.
So, it depends on the EA itself, depends on how it was coded by author and depends on the settings.

You can try to backtest EA in case to check how it works.

By the way, you can ask the author/seller for assistance.
