Any ideas why an EA attached to a chart with the algo trading turned on doesn't take the trade at all?
We are testing an EA, sometimes it takes the trade, sometimes it does not. I am not sure where to begin to troubleshoot it, but I have the ALGO Trading turned on, the little hat icon in the top right of the chart is blue/green. Yesterday it took the trade on both vps accounts, I didn't change a single thing and today neither of them took it. Any help would be appreciated :)
- Algo trading won't activate
- Taking a trade at 01:05 AM
- EA attached to MQL VPS not working
How do you expect us to respond without seeing anything? We are not magicians.

So my friend who is also testing this restarted his computer and when he turned it back on, it activated. I did the same with my vps abd the trade activated...any idea what would cause such an issue? Do I need to restart the vps every day to prevent such things?
