Indices

 

Does anyone know why MT4 EA's do not work on the Indices?

2 coders do not know why and as I am not a coder, I hoped that someone may be able to help identify the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Most probable reason is that pips are not calculated on indices the same way as on currency symbols. The EA code should be adjusted especially for indices (including the minimal stop loss and take profit distances, and minimal lot calculation)
