EA not taking trades. Works for yesterday when backtested but did not take any trades
EA not taking trades. Works for yesterday when backtested but did not take any trades.
I have done all below checks and all is good :
“Autotrading” option should be turned on in the top toolbar of the MT4 terminal window.
“Allow live trading” option should be selected in the “EA Properties” window. Look for smiley face in the right-top corner of the chart.
“Long & Short” positions should be enabled for normal Expert Advisor operation.
For some EA’s the “Allow DLL imports” option should be selected in the “EA Properties” window.
For some EA’s the “Allow import of external experts” option should be selected in the “EA Properties” window.
Check configuration in the “Tools -> Options -> Expert Advisors” window.
Check the “Experts” tab for error messages at the bottom of the MT4 terminal window.
Check the “Journal” tab for error messages at the bottom of the MT4 terminal window.
Check if MT4 terminal is connected to the broker server.
Check if your Internet connection has no problems.
Make sure MT4 app can authorize license key (if applicable).
Restart MT4 client terminal.
I installed it a day before, I waited till today morning, as I was keeping notes of possible trades as per conditions set, there were many trades but the system took none. When I backtested now for last day (yesterday), it took the trades as per my expectations. Please help.
various factors can be involved...spread, time, slippage and i don't know anything about your expert adviser and how it operates and how it's coded, it may work in tester but not in real life..who knows, i sure don't!

I made it on a free EA website and have backtested for quite long and also backtested on yesterday's chart when It was installed but did not take any trade, but when backtested on yesterday chart it took trades. I am not sure, But I am trying to use the EA on an indices, will that work. And Also, I can share the EA if you can tweak and see what's wrong.

Ea website builders produce poor functionally programs, if i was you i'd start learning to code the right way! No i'm not going to tweak anything for you with such stuff, never ever!
