can someone help me with this? i am running a scalper EA on 3 pair and this is the only thing that has happened since i turned it on sunday night.
“Could not place trade for AUDCHF due to error #4109 - trade is not allowed in the expert properties”
after more research i found others had the same error who did not have “allow live trading” checked. i checked the tick box and re-started but am getting the same error again. also if someone can point me to a post or site to help EA noobs with the basics i’d appreciate it.
try this check the box, remove the EA, shut down MT4. restart MT4 make sure the box is still checked and put the EA back on the Chart. You did know enough to look at the log to see the error. it could be a few things stopping it from trading. The first step is to make sure that MT4 is set up correctly to run an EA.
i had checked the box for live trading under the platform properties not the EA properties. once i looked at the common tab for the EA i realized what i had done. it’s all good now. thanks
