EAs wont place trades

New comment
 

Hi I am new to MT4/MT5 and I'm trying to backtest some EAs. There are a couple EAs I've tested that will place trades like the <Deleted> bot but I tried 4-5 others and they all fail to place any trades. I noticed in the journal that the bots do not initiate any buy trades but has many sell trades which of course fails to work as no buy orders are being placed. It also says Error=0 and I am using Ava trade as my broker if that helps to answer my question. 


Update: The bots seem to be trading on everything except Forex currency pairs, is their any way to fix this? 

 
Also go to EA properties (F7) and verify you have both long and short enabled.
 
Hello Please i wrote an EA code to open a position on my Binary.com MT5 But it returned an error code which says  Expert Advisor not allowed. Please i need help with the meaning of this, and why my EA can't place orders on my MT5 binary.com. Thanks

Yes I do have long and short enabled. It seems to be trading fine on metals and shares and stuff like that just not forex pairs. The bots will only place sell orders when I backtest them on forex pairs and this isn't any specific EA, every EA I've tried works the same way so I'm guessing it has something to do with my broker or account maybe.
