Only places trades in strategy tester

New comment
 

Could someone please help point out why this EA I have been working on will not place trades live. It seems to place them in the strategy tester fine.

    On MT4: Unless the current chart is that specific pair/TF referenced, you must handle 4066/4073 errors.

  2. Don't assume that Time[i] == iTime(otherPair,TF, i) always use iBarShift.

Thank you. aside from taking a look at the things you mentioned. Having an extra set of eyes on this has made me realize when I changed this from an indicator to an EA I changed all my arrays to variables and in doing so broke my lookback calculation. Once I fixed it I started getting trades.
