Hi,
I built an EA in EA Builder and the code works perfectly in testing.
For testing I use every tick for accuracy.
In live trading the code works perfectly most of the time but misses trades.
This is very frustrating because there are no errors in the journal to indicate where there was a problem.
Any ideas on why trades are being missed?
Thank you.

Have you considered Slippage
Is it a news trader EA?

So I am watching the chart, and there is a signal to sell, but the EA doesn't react. No trade is executed.
Then I
go and test the EA to see whether it should have made the trade and in testing it shows that it makes the trade.

I have considered slippage but if it was slippage shouldn't an error come up in journal?

No just uses standard indicators like moving averages.
What time? With many brokers but maybe not all, at first minute of the first session of the day, usually they don't execute
trades. It always happens to me. I don't know why because I never bother to check. Maybe there's a technical issue on that.

Thanks for your reply. It is at random times to my understanding. The broker has stated they don't know why trades are missed and they can't see any issues on their side.

- Just because your testing didn't see the problem, doesn't mean its not there.
- Do you really expect an answer? We can't see your broken code. There are no mind readers here and our crystal balls are cracked.
