Hey Carl, sorry to hear STRIX hasn't kicked off yet—it's usually pretty active on demos, so let's troubleshoot this quickly as the guy who built it. First, dive into your MT5 logs: check the Experts and Journal tabs for any messages like "Outside Trading Hours" or "News Protection Active." That's often the culprit.
Default setup blocks trades outside 06:00-20:00 server time, so confirm your broker's server time and tweak TradingStartTime/TradingEndTime if needed (e.g., if you're in a different timezone, it might be off). Also, with EnableNewsProtection on (default true), it pauses 90 mins before and 45 after high-impact news—make sure you've allowed those WebRequests in Tools > Options > Expert Advisors: https://api.deepseek.com and http://ec.forexprostools.com. Without that, news filter might hang or block everything.
If you share your exact inputs or a log snippet, I can pinpoint it faster. Hang in there—it should light up once aligned!
Hi, I have shared my input screen, I also checked your original DM & found that I had missed a website address, which I have now added. Anything jump out at you in my settings or was it the missing website that caused the inactivity?

The photo was not uploaded correctly. Please send it to me again privately. But according to what you said, everything is correct.
To get STRIX EA up and running on MetaTrader 5, just download the .ex5 file I built, then drag it onto a chart from MT5's Navigator panel—it'll attach automatically and pop open the settings. Head to the Inputs tab to tweak things like your strategy (start with Scalp if you're new), risk percentage, and trading hours to match your broker's server time. One key insight from designing it: always enable WebRequests first under Tools > Options > Expert Advisors, adding https://api.deepseek.com and http://ec.forexprostools.com for news protection and AI features to work smoothly. Set a unique Magic Number per chart to keep trades isolated, and test on a demo account before going live—I've seen folks skip that and regret it. Fire up AutoTrading on the toolbar, and you're good; watch the Experts tab for logs if anything blocks a trade.
Please add the following URLs to WebRequest URL list in Tools->Options->Expert Advisors:
https:// api.deepseek.com/
http:// ec.forexprostools.com/
