Typically, how long does it take for an Expert Advisor to open trades on a given currency pair? My EA’s all have “smiley” faces so I know I’ve installed them correctly. I’ve been waiting all day and my EA’s haven’t opened a single trade yet. What if anything, am I missing? Thanks in advance. :22:
Check the EA configurations, MT4 Options (Ctrl + O) or Tools -> Options - See Below
- Enable Expert Advisers
** Allow Live Trading
These options should be required for an EA to live trade.
Cheers

You notices these options are not enable on my system… I don’t use EAs so there not enabled.
It could depend on your actual EA settings too, if they are “strict” with buy/sell signals or if they look at long-term time frames like daily or 4-hour, it really might take a while.
