Good Day

Trust that you are all well.

I updated MT5 to the latest version when restarting the Platform I found that most of my trading EA's are no longer on the charts, it is not just 1 EA it EA's from different Vendors.

Is there a fix?

Thanks

Rene

Hi Rene,

After updates, it's common for EAs to be removed from charts. Please check that "Algo Trading" is enabled, reattach the EAs manually, and log in to your MQL5 account if they were bought from the Market.

Hi Miguel

Thanks

Will the EA's continue monitering current trades or will I have watch them.

After reattaching it, it will only resume control if it's programmed to detect its own trades, usually through a unique magic number.

What is a magic number in an EA?

The magic number is a unique ID that helps an EA recognize the trades it opened. It allows the EA to manage only its own trades, even after restarting the platform.

If the EA does not use a magic number, or uses the wrong one, it will not recognize its previous trades and will not manage them after being removed or reattached.

So, if your EA is not managing open trades after a restart, it may not be programmed to detect them using a magic number.

Thanks, all seems to be working again

Or how does it work.

Thanks

To use the MQL5 Cloud Network for optimization in the Strategy Tester, you need MQL5 Credits in your account. These are the same credits used for buying Market products, Signals, or Freelance jobs.

You can purchase Credits by logging into your profile at MQL5.com and going to Profile > Payments > Top up account for MQL5 services. Once you have Credits, the Strategy Tester will automatically use them to pay for rented computing power from the Cloud Network during optimizations.
