MT5 Expert Advisor (EA) Not Working – What to Check?

Possible Reasons:

• Auto-trading is disabled

• EA settings not configured correctly

• Errors in the EA code

Fixing the Issue:

1. Enable Auto-Trading

   • Click the "AutoTrading" button at the top of MT5.

2. Check EA Settings

   • Right-click the chart running the EA, go to Expert Advisors > Properties, and verify settings.

3. Review the MT5 Journal & Experts Tab

   • Open Terminal (Ctrl + T) and check for error messages under the Experts & Journal tabs.

4. Test on a Demo Account

   • If the EA isn’t executing trades, test it on a demo account first.

💡 Tip: Some EAs only work in specific market conditions or timeframes. Check with the EA developer if unsure.
