Before using an EA for live trading, it is advisable to test it under different market conditions and with different instruments to optimize parameter settings.
Reasons why an EA may not place orders include:
1 Confirm whether your brokers platform supports EA trading.
2 Some EAs require specific market trends or conditions to trigger trades. If these conditions are not met, the EA will continue to wait.
3 Check if the order size specified in the EAs parameters meets your broker's minimum order size requirements.
4 Verify if the order distance settings within some EAs meet your brokers required range for placing orders.
5 Ensure that instrument codes are correctly set up in copy trading EAs.
