Turn on AutoTrading up top in MT5 (button). Green is on. Red is off.

Confirm whether you allowed auto trading, the button above, and check symbol details to confirm if trading is allowed.

Right, check the EA window first upon attaching the EA to the chart, and then enable AutoTrading in the terminal.

I can't even tell you how many times I've mistakenly skipped the EA window checkbox, and then later returned to find zero trades.🤦‍♂️

Oh, I see. All "Trading is disabled" in your screenshot. Sorry.

In that case, you should contact your broker-dealer to investigate the issue.

I have done that already, l have reinstalled the app changed the password, still the issue is not fixed, thanks for your help.

I see that you're trading stock index CFD's. Are those market hours open?

I also see a Z as a month code which mimics futures contracts. Verify that the month is the front month and/or a presently tradable month.

Some symbols can’t be traded at specific hours, and perhaps your broker also disabled trading on the symbol, try when the market is open.
