I have down loaded PSC from earn forex which i used with no issues on MT4. Now on MT5 it wont let me execute a trade. I have Algo selected, it lets me enter stop loss, take profit etc not issues. Goto trading tab - trade - i get the confirmation box come up. When OK is pressed makes a grumbling sound and disapears and no trade. I can place a trade with the new order tab. I have only just downloaded MT5 so I'm assuming there is a setting somewhere that needs changing but cannot find for love nor money. Anyone any ideas please?
