AutoTrading turns OFF immediately after enabling (Not EA / Not broker issue) - page 2

1. that is not your full log as requested 3 times now. your full log is in folder MQL5>Logs. just like you did in your first post with file ending .log i dont know where they went. maybe the system removed them because they can have private info in them. But if you add them again, i am sure that a moderator will retreive them again before they are automaticly deleted again.

2. are you still in contact with your broker? they are your first point of contact. It is their product; wheras this is a public forum -- not any formal support. If this was a common problem then you would have got help by public members of the forum already by this time. even the moderators are not official support members.

 

Anyone notice all this is all going down in a Wine environment?

Per other threads, it's notorious for creating issues.

I have included the latest Journal log below.

It is not Journal log. It is some kind of extraction from it.
Because Journal log is the txt file which should be attached to the post.

if you want for thos issue to be reproduced and fiixed (or for some advice about what to do) - the full log as text file is fully necessary for that.

-------------------------

For example, I switched autotrading to be ON - 

and after that - I switched it to be OFF, and it is written in the log - 

 
balance: 0.00

can one trade with 0 balance ?

As far as I know - there are two places to check (to accept) for autotrading:

  • autotrading button, and
  • EA itself (in EA's settings).

There are two autotrading options which should be used all together:

1. Autotrading button

2. EA itself (in EA's settings)

It's about MQL5 community, not a broker account:

I don't know why you keep repeating Windows 10, as your log shows :

So it's a wine environment running an obsolete Windows Server 2008 and all of that on an Apple Virtual Machine running! It seems you are searching for trouble.
