No loading bars, everything seems normal.  I make sure to always load the bars of the relevant periods first.

Thanks, I thought as much. So now this leaves me more confused…

Thanks. although mt4 strategy tester is very inconsistent, and I dont trust it much, 16 trades sounds like what I would expect on a major pair like EurUsd with the strategy the FTMO bot uses.

FBSpro shows 7 trades opened from the 18th to 25th and 6 trades closed.  Trade reversals are not counted as opened or closed trades.  However, if you count the trades in the profit/loss column the number is 13.

Hello Petko, I started a thread yesterday regarding the fact my FTMO bots have not triggered any trades in 7 trading days now & seems like others have triggered entries during the same time. Any idea as to why that may be??

Hi Trinidad,

Can you provide a screenshot of your MT4 including your EA properties?

What broker are you using?

Does your broker allow trading with EAs?

Alan,

[Trinidad Simmz]

All data bars from M1 & M30 was loaded first,
Ive used 3 separate MT4 terminals,
Tried 2 different demo accounts,
Tried 3 different Brokers (Eightcap, Foreign Clearing House, Oanda)

Auto Trading is ON, (both in the options and on the main interface window)

MT4 terminal is functional as I have other EA’s that enter trades,

The MT4’s smiley face confirmation is active on all the FTMO Robot pair windows

No errors in the Expert section of MT4

Acc sizes: 10,000k & 100,000k

I don’t see anything that could be stopping the EA from taking trades.  Let me know if you still have not had any trades and I will alert Petko!

Alan,

[Trinidad Simmz]

Apreciate your responce Alan. I can confirm that the EA’s are still live on MT4 using an Eight-cap demo acc, but still to date ‘zero’ trades have been entered!

[Alan Northam]

Petko has been alerted!
