EA not trading

[Ollu Timo]

Hi All,

I’ve been running the MartingaleEA for couple of weeks now and it has not place a single trade can anyone help with this. Please see my settings below:

To test the EA to make sure it is working correctly use the Strategy Tester.

I have a similar problem. I have a smiley face and a green arrow I am on Funded Next (using MT4) and they have twice confirmed that their platform is fine. I also have a bot from another provider which is also blocked. Ihey also assure me that everything is fine on their end.  On the grid on which I placed their bot I get a small white screen and a flashing message alternating between blue and red at the botton which says “Searching for setup” . I want to get the FTMO bot but until I unblock this problem it will be sending good money after bad.

I’m pretty sure that the blockage is on my computer. It is a very old Sony Vasio. I have already emptied all the cookies so I cannot think how to solve this problem. Can anyone please help?

[Alan Northam]

Do you have a firewall blocking MT4?

Alan,

[David Hanlon]

I don’t know but I also have the same suspicion. I will disable the firewalls on my lap-top and see if that’s the case. I’ll let you know. thanks for the tip.

[David Hanlon]

So yes. After turning off all the firewalls the EA works. However Fundednext now admit that their platform is not in fact a VPS. I think that I will use AWS Amazon becuse the first 12 months are free and it is a large reputable company. So thanks for your help.

I am happy to hear you got it working!

However, that being said the Studio EA is on three charts with a big smiley face and not trading even though they are all on the H1 time frame and the computer has been running for several hours. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

[Alan Northam]

Which EAs do you have?

Hello there,

The FTMO EAs are not opening any trades at all.I bought the EAs yesterday but so far I havent seen any open position(s).

Does anybody what is happening or what could be the cause of thats?

 

Thank you.

Hi Leonardos,

I currently have 5 open trades for the FTMO V6.0 robots.  When did you install them on MT4 or MT5?  If you installed them on MT4 do you see a smiley face in the upper right corner of the trading charts?  If you installed them on MT5 do you see a blue hat  in the upper right corner of the trading charts?

Hi Alan,

Thank you for your reply.

I am using MT4.

I see the smiling face on the top right corner and the Autotrading is enabled. Therefore the EAs should be working because they are already enabled.

I haven’t changed the magic number in the settings of the EAs though.

Thank you for you help.

The FTMO EA is working now.

It has already opened a trade XAUUSD.

 

Thank you for your advice.

Hi Gleston,

I am also using the FTMO V6.0 robots with Infinity forex funds.  I have 4 robots with open trades:

audchf.i
audusd.i
eurusd.i
xauusd.i

Maybe you need to remove the robots and reinstall.

Alan,
