I run an EA which is quite profitable on demo account at 4 different broker....

Al Trade, Velocity4x, StrategyBuliderfx, and IBFX...... all of them open position (using EA) at about the same time during DEMO account and profitable.

But when i run live account on IBFX, the 3 demo account open position and profitable but the live account not open position....

Is your live account a mini account and your demos are standard accts? If so, you may be having a naming conflict as mini accounts at IBFX append a m after the currency pair names as in EURUSDm instead of EURUSD

It is also possible that the EA was coded to only run in Demo. That would be most likely true if it were a trail version of something to be paid for. Without knowing what we are talking about here, there is no point in continuing the discussion. perhaps you could explain all the facts of this EA, if you want a informed answer... thanks

This is your most likely candidate. If you get this EA by paying for it, they probably sent you a demo EA right away and you need to request the live version and send them your MT4 account number to be coded into your EA so that it can run on your account.

You need your broker's approval. Your broker needs a written guarantee that you accept the risks involved in using the EA function. It is usually done by you sending through fax a written request. Upon receiving your fax, they will enable your EA function at their end.

This is the common case. Hope this will solve your problem.
