No EAs buying or selling automatically in demo account but working in the strategy tester..

[JohnXXL]

Basically I just started coding my own eas but noticed that they only seemed to show some signs of life in manual mode and with the stategy tester. I leave any of them (even the default ones and 3rd party EAs made by others) and they won't buy or sell anything unless they are set to manual, where they will pop up a window asking for me to do it for them. 

I've tried setting all sorts of options to get this to work, I tried changing the slippage to a high value to see if it was some sort of network connection problem but that didn't solve anything..

I'm using the GO Trader and Trading Point broker demo accounts to do my testing and the results are exactly the same in both.

 

Help!

I think you should attached the expert, then I can help you.

It could be any, I will attach this 3d party one since they are supposed to have been thoroughly tested and tried.
