Hi All,

To test the EA to make sure it is working correctly use the Strategy Tester.

I have a similar problem. I have a smiley face and a green arrow I am on Funded Next (using MT4) and they have twice confirmed that their platform is fine. I also have a bot from another provider which is also blocked. Ihey also assure me that everything is fine on their end.  On the grid on which I placed their bot I get a small white screen and a flashing message alternating between blue and red at the botton which says “Searching for setup” . I want to get the FTMO bot but until I unblock this problem it will be sending good money after bad.

I’m pretty sure that the blockage is on my computer. It is a very old Sony Vasio. I have already emptied all the cookies so I cannot think how to solve this problem. Can anyone please help?

[Alan Northam]

Do you have a firewall blocking MT4?

I don’t know but I also have the same suspicion. I will disable the firewalls on my lap-top and see if that’s the case. I’ll let you know. thanks for the tip.

[David Hanlon]

So yes. After turning off all the firewalls the EA works. However Fundednext now admit that their platform is not in fact a VPS. I think that I will use AWS Amazon becuse the first 12 months are free and it is a large reputable company. So thanks for your help.

I am happy to hear you got it working!

However, that being said the Studio EA is on three charts with a big smiley face and not trading even though they are all on the H1 time frame and the computer has been running for several hours. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Which EAs do you have?
