With the current dominance of AI and IO, when a model is stitched into an EA, the presence of hidden parameters (in the number of thousands or millions!) is everywhere. And it is impossible to check such a thing. In principle, most EAs have some variables that for one reason or another are not placed in the interface (for debugging, experimental modes, etc.) and can be controlled in alternative ways. I don't see any violations in this.

Let's imagine that TC sets fixed SL/TP. Is it a violation to hide the possibility of adjusting these parameters or optimising them?

sinput int inSL = 100; // SL
sinput int inTP = 100; // TP

It is hardly an infringement. IMHO, the author himself decides what and how to optimise.

A trading advisor without input parameters is apparently a valid option.

Hi everyone, I developed an Expert Advisor (EA) exclusively for XAUUSD on M5, but when I run the validation or attempt to publish it, the test seems to be automatically running on EURUSD, which causes a validation failure.

I want to ensure the EA validates correctly for XAUUSD only.

• How can I force the validation/test to use XAUUSD?
• Are there specific settings in MetaTrader 5 that restrict EA validation to a particular symbol?
• Could this be related to code limitations or broker/server issues?

Any guidance on how to fix this issue so I can successfully publish my EA would be appreciated!
