Hi Rick, Thanks for the reply.
I am suspicious about the autoGMT line. I think I will change it from true to false and set my GMT in the manual line; then see if Megadroid trades. My reason is that IBFX uses GMT in its Market line; but uses New York time in its Expert and Journal tabs. If Megadroid is picking up New York time instead of GMT, this would throw it off by 4 hours. This would put Megadroid in a more volatile trading hour; so maybe Megadroid would not trade.
The other thing I have found, I have several pages in my MetaTrader4, each showing different sets of currency pairs; if I switch from my robot page to another page which I use for manual trades, then MetaTrader4 shuts down my robot until I return to that page. This is not a real problem; since I do this in the evening and morning here in California and this does not interfere with the robot's favorite GMT trading time of 2100 to 2300 GMT. However, if I forget to switch back to the robot page, then the robot remains inactivated until I return the next day.
