Maybe your EA does not trade in live accounts.
Does it make trades in demos accounts?

I have the same problem. It doesn't send any order after try attach all the available EA provided from FF. Not sure what's going on.

I would like to code my own EA but don't know how to code with offline renko bar. It doesn't have buffer, so absolutely is unable to use icustom.

Appreciate if someone could help.
Thanks.

Most EAs should work when attached to a renko chart. I have never find one that does not work.
It must be some small details you guy are missing.

Just attach the "renko EA" to the 1m chart as you always do... and then attached the regular EA to the offline renko chart.
Sometimes, due to EA indicators, it needs a good amount of renko bars to trigger trades. So make sure you have plenty of 1M bar history in your regular TF chart, so your renko EA can make enought bars ... if not the number of renko will not be enough to calculate correctly...

Hi Guys!

Unfortunately, i try all the possible methods but EA is still unable to trigger any ordersend.
OK, i attach one of the EA here and screenshots. You can see the time where i attached the EA, and now many renko bars have been formed. But EA do nothing, and shows no error.

Please note the indicator line on renko chart is not relevant for the EA. Just ignore it.

Please assist.
Thanks.

I can spot a number of problems with the code. These need to be fixed first, then perhaps it will be possible to identify the problem(s). Every trade operation, like OrderSend() and OrderClose must be followed by a call to GetLastError() and Print(). Otherwise you are left guessing if the transaction was successful and wasting time. GetLastError() won't solve your problem, but perhaps it will point you in the right direction.

Another thing I noticed is no use of NormalizeDouble() for values like SL and TP. This may or may not fix the problem,...

The file you uploaded is an excel file.. not an mql4... maybe that is the problem.
Give you skype in a pm and I can guide you tru... some detail is missing but could take forever

Thanks for your help. I solved my issue because the renko indicator i used did not work with the EA. The EA should work with this renko indicator "RenkoLiveChart_v3.2". However, i dislike this indicator but i prefer this as attach here. But i don't know how to amend this indicator to allow for LIVE trading with EA.
