hey guys this is my first time working with ea and for some reason my ea’s wont place orders once the price hits their trigger point. Im using an mt4 on fxdd demo acount. Can anyone please provide some insight into what i am doing wrong?
Don’t worry about it. The EA will lose you money. Learn to trade, you stand a much better chance in making it.
The most likely cause is that trading isn’t enabled. On the properties tab, ensure that the enable trading checkbox is checked (default is blank). If that isn’t the fix, check the experts tab for an error.
Why do you say the EA will lose you money… I was just thinking about applying some EA to my trading because most of the time the trade could trigger when I’m sleeping??
some people just dont like EA’s
how can i use an EA in my mt4 platform?
what EA is it that you have ?
does your broker allow EA’s and are you live or demo ?
also are you coding the EA yourself ?
if so, if you are using OrderSend() you can use getlasterror() to find out why it isnt working
i downloaded d EA…and am trading live…i dont knw if my broker accept EA too.
ok what EA is it you have ? did you pay for it or is it a freebie off a site ?
Can you attach it here ? do you have in in MQ4 and EX4 (compiled) versions ?
you have to give a good bit more information of you want help.
Not true, some are profitable (the ones not for sale). But most importantly EAs are useful for alerting when certain parameters are met (for those that can’t look at their screens 24/7). EAs are also useful to back test (although not full proof, it gives a good indication)
