Hi everyone,
I am trying to publish my MT5 EA. The EA is designed to trade commodoties and indicies futures. However, the validation test the EA with Forex pairs, thus my EA fails validation.
How do I indicate my EA is not designed for Forex so it will pass validation?
Thanks!
Last time I checked, futures symbols aren't allowed in Market EA's.

limiting the ea to specified symbol is not allowed. This is condition that is clearly written in the terms and conditions.
However, you can put in your description on marketplace, the symbol that the ea is designed for trading on. If users try to use other symbols, it is their fault i guess if they lose money while trying to trade a different symbol.
terms and conditions.
Thank you for your resposne.
I have reviewed the Rules for the Marketplace and Terms and Conditions, but I did not see any language about limiting an EA to specific symbols.
Would you kindly post the location of the language for my review?
Warm regards,

It was altready discussed many times, for example:

There is one blog post describing some issues and how to fix them.
For example:
This error is specific for expert advisers only. The rule is: expert advisers must trade. If your robot should be used only on a specific symbol timeframe, then here is what MetaQuotes say: "Products can not apply restrictions. All limitations should be marked as recommendations in the product description." If your robot does not trade by design (a helper tool, for example), choose approriate category ("Utilities") in the product properties.

And there is one discussion thread where the users share the experience with it (related to coding for example):there are no trading operations
