Don't forget to turn on Expert Advisors

Post by SteveHopwood »

There is a nasty and moronic little trick that the cretins who wrote the blasted Empty4 platform play on the unknowing. Be default, Expert Advisers are disabled.

Go to Tools/Options/Expert Advisers. The four left most squares need checking; the remainder need unchecking; you will have 4 ticks down the left and none on the right. Close down and restart the platform.

If this does not work, then you have to go through each chart reloading the bot, clicking the Common tab and making sure that Enable alerts, Allow live trading, Allow Dll imports and Allow import of external experts are all ticked, and the other 4 boxes are not ticked.

If I ever meet the morons who wrote this rubbish, they are in for a rough ride.

Cheers

:D

Can someone post a pic of what the screen looks like when doing all this, please? I will pinch it and add it to this post.

I spent a full day trying to figure out what the problem was and why an EA I was testing at the time would not work. This is a great tip. Glad to see it on the forum.
