1) In Tools, Options, Expert Advisors, make sure you have checked 'Enable Expert Advisors' and 'Allow Live Trading'
2) Drop AmazingEA onto a chart. You should see 'AmazingEA' in the top right hand corner of the chart with a Smiley Face next to it. If there is a cross instead, go back to Step 1.
3) Click on the chart and press F7, or right-click on the chart and choose Expert Advisers, Properties.
4) Setup the various parameters for the trade.
5) In the top left corner of the chart there is a comment entitled 'Amazing Forex System Expert Advisor' 
6) Near there, you can view various parameters and also compare the News Time with the Brokers Time.
7) The NYear, NMonth, NDay, NHour, NMin, NSec parameters need to correspond to your Brokers time not your PC time. If you set a date, you need to set all three date parameters NYear, NMonth and NDay. If you don't set the date, be aware that the EA will trade every day at the relevant time set by NHour, NMin and NSec.
8) There is a hierarchy for SecBPO, SecBAO and SecBMO. SecBPO has to be greater or equal to SecBAO which has to be greater than SecBMO.
9) When the Broker Time nearly coincides with the news time, the EA will place Pending Orders. SecBPO is how many seconds before the News that the orders are placed.
10) If the pending orders are not placed, it is possible that 'Allow Live Trading' is not checked.
11) If Only Long or Only Short orders are placed, then check the Common section of the EA Properties and ensure that it is allowed to open both 'Long & Short' positions.
12) Check the 3 logfiles. The standard name is AmazingEA followed by the Currency Pair of the Chart, so for EURUSD it will be called 'AmazingEA-EURUSD.log'. You will find this file in the <MT4>\experts\files folder of your MT4 platform, with detailed explanations what took place while EA was running. There are 2 other logfiles named YYYYMMDD.log where YYYYMMDD is the current date e.g. 20130507.log. These are located in <MT4>\experts\logs and <MT4>\logs.
13) If you can't find the logfiles and you installed MT4 in '\Program Files\' or '\ProgramFiles (x86)\' then it is because Windows 7 or 8 prevents Applications from writing logfiles in the Program Files area.  So then MT4 is probably writing the logs in the ProgramData directory, which is a 'hidden' directory structure.  The easiest way to access that area is to open a 'Run' command and type %AppData% and press enter. You will then see a list of subdirectories. Pick the one that corresponds with the Brokers name and then look in that directory for 'experts' or 'logs'. The best thing in future is to install all MT4s in a \MT4 subdirectory, so you don't experience this issue.
