The attached is a bad strategy for testing only (don't actually trade it). On axitrader it won't open during live trading but it will open
during demo trading and in the strategy tester (yes, I have a smiley face, enabled auto trading, etc.) It was generated with
fxpro quant.
I tested it on the M1 chart and it opens on a new bar on a demo account. But on a live account it doesn't open. Any thoughts?

ok, but why did it work in demo and not live?
No idea. A Print(Volume[0]) could tell you what's going on. Would be interesting to know.
i think it's .... Code
says if (free-margin/1000)*(input lot size) is less than minimum lot, to not send orders. Beerrun over in forexfactory helped me. My live
amount is less than $1000. So it wouldn't open. Thanks for your help!
This ea is less complicated than the other one I'm working on. Thanks, that should be very helpful.
lippmaje: Most likely the new bar check fails:
For a new bar test, Bars is unreliable (a refresh/reconnect can change
number of bars on chart,) volume is unreliable (miss ticks,) Price is unreliable
(duplicate prices and The == operand. -
MQL4 programming forum.)
Always use time.I disagree with making a new bar function, because it can only be called once per tick. A variable can be tested multiple times.
