Good morning,
I have tried to open the championship demo account on the platform of 2 different brokers that I was using to test my EA (Interbank and Alpari) but nothing is happening. There is a message in the journal that show a "NO WAY" sign and says " trading attempt in the investor mode".
I believe my EA is complying with the rules. Did anybody had the same issue, Could you tell me if there is something I should know that is different between the metaquote contest account and any other brokers demo account. Do I have to download a metatrader platform from somewhere else and where? Thank you Pascal |

Interview with Matthew Brown (Matmospheric) There is no added safety to keep the account from a forced closing; you just have to trust that the EA. |

P Your championship demo account is only available on the MetaTrader server IIRC - If you use Tools, Options in your MT program, connect to demo.metaquotes.net:443 Then put you account details for the championship You should connect OK No broker server would accept your MT server login .. You can test or run your EA on any brokers account but I would tune it to the MT one myself :) Good Luck -BB- |

However, I am having another problem. My EA works on a five minute chart and when I am logged on with the metaquote server, I cannot run the strategy tester on M5. It runs on M1, M15 and up but not on M5. Thanks again |

P > It runs on M1, M15 and up but not on M5 Thats unusual! Are there any error messages in the Journal tab? Try adding Print statements to your EA to confirm it got to various points in the code, then look for them in the Journal, like Print("My EA at Line 10"); // some code lines Print("My EA at Line 20"); // some more code lines Print("My EA at Line 30"); // some more code lines Print("My EA at Line 40"); Keep trying :) -BB- |
