If YOU use my advisors, then on the EAPADPRO control panel, you can read the reason why the advisor is not trading. Reasons for failure of the advisor to work
If the advisor smiles but does not trade, there are several reasons:
- The signal has not yet arrived; the advisor needs more time to open a position based on the signal.
- The advisor tries to open it but receives an error from the server. You need to find out the cause of the error. To do this, open the advisor’s journal and look for messages with a red circle. Possible reasons why the advisor receives an error and solutions.

-1 means that the advisor monitors all magicians ( MagicNumber ).
My advisor only monitors the currency pair ( Symbol ) on which it is installed.
For example, The advisor is set to EURUSD and MagicNumber = -1; this means that the advisor monitors all positions on the EURUSD currency pair ( Symbol ).
If you change the MagicNumber, new positions are opened with a new MagicNumber. The advisor only monitors the set magic number ( MagicNumber ).
Changing magics ( MagicNumber ) on different symbols ( Symbol ) does not make sense. The advisor only monitors the currency ( Symbol ) on which it is installed.
If you want the advisor to work in different directions, then yes, you can specify different magics ( MagicNumber ):
- First chart EURUSD ONLY BUY> Magic ( MagicNumber ) = 1
- Second chart EURUSD ONLY SELL> Magic ( MagicNumber )= 2
- Third chart EURCHF ONLY BUY> Magic ( MagicNumber ) = 1
- Fourth chart EURCHF ONLY SELL> Magic ( MagicNumber ) = 2
- Fifth chart GBPUSD ALL> Magic ( MagicNumber )= -1
- If you have a 5-digit or 3-digit broker, then 1 point = 0.00001 0.001 –
Respectively, if you set parameter 155:
- then it will be 155 points or 0.00155 (if the currency pair has 5 characters)
- or 0.155 (if the currency pair has 3 digits)
- If you have a 4-digit or 2-digit broker, then 1 point = 0.0001 0.01 –
Respectively, If you set the parameter 155:
- then it will be 155 points or 0.0155 (if the currency pair has 4 characters)
- or 1.55 (if the currency pair has 2 digits)
Remember: you set the number of points/pips / millipoints / points that you need.
You write the value (in the field) that you need on a particular broker.
There is a lot of debate about what a point is and what a pip is.
We have universal values (Point = Pips).
These values are equal to the values of your broker.
All parameters of any of our advisers are calculated in the parameter that your broker server issues in the Point variable.
Point
Returns the size of the current instrument in the quote currency. double Point(); Return value The value of the _Point variable, which stores the size of the current instrument in the quote currency.
You have specified a take profit / stop loss / trailing stop level that is less than what is allowed on your broker's server!
Therefore, the Expert Advisor calculates the minimum stop order level (StopLevel) and modifies the take profit / stop loss / trailing stop in accordance with the rules of your broker (Contract Specification)
If your account has a floating spread, then the minimum stop loss and take profit levels change with each price change (Tick).
You must write a take profit that is greater than the minimum allowed stop order level(StopLevel) on your server.
Or turn off the automatic StopLevel detection function.
Automatically normalize all parameters of the Expert Advisor to the minimum acceptable stop levels.
With virtual stops - this parameter does not affect.
With AutoSetMinLevel, stop levels will be brought to the lowest possible levels allowed on the server;
If Stop Loss or Take Profit level is less than the minimum stop level on the server, then Stop Loss/Take Profit level = Minimum Stop Level (Spread*2 or fixed level on the server) + Spread.
When using ManualSet, the user will receive a message that the EA stop levels are less than the minimum, and the EA will receive an error from the server.
If the stop level on the server is floating, then the minimum stop level calculated automatically = Spread*2.
Questions about purchasing trading advisors and licenses
All intellectual rights to programs, program files, and documentation on the site belong to Vladon Expforex.
But you should realize that each copy of the trading terminal uses CPU power and RAM. Each terminal downloads trading history and uses internet speed.
The more terminals are open, the slower the speed of new quotes.
Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high degree of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Please be careful and cautious.
This is necessary for the user to be able to install an Expert Advisor on a home computer, laptop, work computer, or VPS.
If your computer is subjected to a modification of “PC accessories” (HDD, SDD, Processor, Windows), then the activation disappears.
10 licenses (activations) are enough to use an advisor
By reselling our program, you are violating the rules of the mql community and the expforex.com site! Also, when you transfer your username and password, you lose your activations, and you will not be able to use our program in the future. You will have to buy a new license.
