The expert advisor (EA) I installed won’t trade. What should I do?

Ensure that the EA is permitted to trade on your platform:

Go to the ‘Tools’ tab, select ‘Options’ then ‘Expert Advisors’ and check if the ‘Allow Automated Trading’ feature is switched on.

If the EA has been successfully activated then there’s should be a smiley face on the top-right corner of your chart.

If the EA is still not working then you should check for any errors in the log files in the ‘Experts’ tab.

For further assistance, please refer to the EA provider or the MQL4 community forum.

Can you guarantee that my order will be executed at the selected price?

Orders in which the price reaches: Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Stop Loss, Take Profit, Sell Limit and Sell Stop are executed instantly.

However, in case of rapid market movements, pricing gaps, important microeconomic new releases etc. we reserve the right to execute the order at the first available price.

What is you execution model?

The Company acts as a principal (therefore, the Company is the sole Execution Venue for the execution of the Client’s orders). Moreover, when the Company executes Clients’ orders, it may in turn route its own orders to regulated EU and Non-EU financial institutions.
