problem solving
Problem: EA Show 🙁 (frowning face) Auto-trading has been disabled. Click Next. automatic trading Also check the button on the MT5 toolbar (it should turn green). Allow automatic trading I checked this when attaching the EA.
Problem: No trend lines appear on the chart. EA needs enough bars to detect the swing point. Make sure your H1 chart has at least 200 bars loaded. movement Tools → Options → Chart and increase maximum bar in chart More than 10,000.
Problem: EA does not initiate transactions. Check out the following: (1) Is your trend filter blocking your trade? Take a look at the panel. Current trend bias is displayed. (2) Does Prop Firm mode stop trading due to limits being reached? Check out the Prop Firm section in the panel. (3) Is your transaction being blocked due to a current news event? When the News block is activated, the panel will display “News: (X)”.
Problem: When I change the chart period, the trend line disappears. This is expected behavior. EA draws trend lines only over a set period of time. period Parameters. Switching the chart to a different time period hides the lines. Switch back to H1 and the lines will reappear.
Issue: Journal displays “Not enough bars” warning This usually happens immediately after attaching the EA to a new chart. Wait for MT5 to download historical data or manually scroll back the chart to trigger the data load. The warning will disappear when enough bars are loaded.

If a trade has not yet moved far enough in your direction, the trailing stop is in standby mode. This is intentional. This prevents premature stops from tightening due to weak movements.
