EAs Non-Execution of trades
do you see the happy face in the upper right corner of your chart?
did you forward-test successfully? - it is not the same as the strategy tester.

Not necessarily!
Has the live account bee enabled for EA's - some brokers still don't do this by default?
Are there any error messages in the Journal or Experts tab of the MT Terminal?

EA Order Execution Problem solved-RaptorUK
It appears that I had the allow live trades set under Strategie Properties but not under Options-Expert Advisors. Ususally the problems
that are sometimes hard to determine are actually something simple as this. Many thanks to RaptorUK for helping me find this.

For some reason NO EA'S will make any trades on any of my 3 computers. I have Windows XP and older computers which shouldn't
make any difference. Most EA's if relatively reasonable length code always worked before. I couldn't even get the MACD Sample code to
work or make trades. This one Did do the Strategie test correctly and made trades. Shouldn't an EA make actual trades in a live account
if it works for the Strategie test? This is very frustrating for me right now because I recently learned enough code to build my own EAs.I
have MB-Trading and an MT4. They said make sure I don't have stops or target orders in the same line of code in a market order.
On one of my EA's there are no stops or targets. Just close and open criteria. Can't do anything until this problem is solved. Appreciate
any help on this.
