  • Usually people who can't code don't receive free help on this forum.
  • If you show your attempts and describe your problem clearly, you will most probably receive an answer from the community. Use the CODE button (Alt-S) when inserting code.
  • To learn MQL programming, you can research the many available Articles on the subject, or examples in the Codebase, as well as reference the online Documentation.
  • If you do not want to learn to code, that is not a problem. You can either look at the Codebase if something free already exists, or in the Market for paid products (also sometimes free). However, recommendations or suggestions for Market products are not allowed on the forum, so you will have to do your own research.
  • Finally, you also have the option to hire a programmer in the Freelance section.

For the EA to place trades offline, it has be running on the Strategy Tester Environment and not trading chart. When EA is placed on the chart, it will place trade only when the terminal is connected to the trading server, usually owned by a Broker or MQL5 demo servers and for that to happen the terminal must have an internet connection.

Taking trades offline? Why are you talking about strategy tester

also  Fernando Carreiro is talking about coding EAs when the OP said he already has one but it doesn't take trades offline.

The simple solution is a VPS!
