Problem with EA not working

  • #1
  • First Post: May 31, 2013 4:25pm May 31, 2013 4:25pm
No matter what EA I use, not a single one of them work on the brokers that I use. Each time I set a EA, and that even the 2 EA that are already on the MT4 platform, it always shows me the grin face. I tried the MACD sample on IBFX, XEmarkets and MIC brokers mt4 and they didnt work

Can someone please help me

You didn't tell us what the problem is.

I'm guessing that they don't open trades. Usually that is because of an error. Take a look at the experts tab and the journal for any mesages.

Capelli,
I have no knowledge about EAs
Many times, I have added an EA to a demo account just out of interest. I have always followed the instructions exactly, or at least I think so.
Over the last 2 or 3 years I have probably tried 20 different EAs or maybe more on various demo accounts. Not one has worked, not a single trade opened.
I guess that there is something that I am not doing, probably something so simple that the expert coders don't even consider it a possibility for why we cannot get EAs to work.

How can it be working now?
This is the weekend, the markets are closed. No way that it could have opened any trades, so how do you know that it is working?

Yes, you can close MT4 with your EA running on it and then launch MT4 again and your EA will continue to run.

But it won't run during the time that MT4 is closed will it?

Your post could easily have been interpreted as that it would continue to run while MT4 was closed.
