I suspect that the EA is simply written in the old style, with the functions start () instead of OnTick ()
There is one article which every seller on the market should read: it is about validation of the Market products -
----------------
The checks a trading robot must pass before publication in the Market
Before any product is published in the Market, it must undergo compulsory preliminary checks, as a small error in the expert or indicator logic can cause losses on the trading account. That is why we have developed a series of basic checks to ensure the required quality level of the Market products.
- How to quickly catch and fix errors in trading robots
- Insufficient funds to perform trade operation
- Invalid volumes in trade operations
- Limiting Number of Pending Orders
- Limiting Number of Lots by a Specific Symbol
- Setting the TakeProfit and StopLoss levels within the SYMBOL_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL minimum level
- Attempt to modify order or position within the SYMBOL_TRADE_FREEZE_LEVEL freeze level
- Errors that occur when working with symbols which have insufficient quote history
- Array out of Range
- Zero Divide
- Sending a request to modify the levels without actually changing them
- Attempt to import compiled files (even EX4/EX5) and DLL
- Calling custom indicators with iCustom()
- Passing an invalid parameter to the function (runtime error)
- Access violation
- Consumption of the CPU resources and memory
- Articles for reading
If any errors are identified by the Market moderators in the process of checking your product, you will have to fix all of them. This article considers the most frequent errors made by developers in their trading robots and technical indicators. We also recommend reading the following articles:
Hello,
I've created an EA for an indicator in the marketplace. Since the indicator needs to be loaded manually onto the strategy tester chart sub window in order to work, it won't trade if it is run alone in the tester. The validation check returns the error that no trades were made. In order to try and get around that, the EA opens a trade at the first tick and closes it again on the second tick when run in the strategy tester, but it still doesn't get validated and the same error occur. Anyone knows how to solve this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Thomas
You have to embed the necessary indicator as a resource to the EA.
Then it's included in the ex4 file and can be used with the regular iCustom requests.
So your trading logic will get the necessary data and the EA will execute its trades.
Thank you for your suggestion Daniel, however the iCustom function is not used nor relevant in the EA algorithm.
The EA does execute a single trade in the strategy tester when started, that's why I don't understand the error I get after trying to validate it:
test on EURUSD,H1
there are no trading operations
test on NZDUSD,H1
there are no trading operations
test on GBPUSDcheck,M30
there are no trading operations
test on XAUUSDcheck,Daily
there are no trading operations
