hey dankaj..... on the top row of the platform, click on tools..... then click on options...... then click on expert advisors.... then check the box beside allow automated trading.....

i also have the box checked for disable when account has changed and profile has changed.....

and of course you must have allow live trading in the experts or scripts common settings.....h

Just to illustrate @hayseed's amazing answer, here is how the platform's indication should look if you have enabled autotrading correctly:


PS: The smiley face should only appear if you are trading with an expert advisor. If you are using a script, don't expect the smiley face to appear on the chart.

I have nothing against automatic trading if it is a temporary measure, which is connected with the fact that the trader is limited in time or he is engaged in some other business direction in parallel. But I am strictly convinced that the market is a structure that requires detailed study and needs a person who is fully involved in it and really enjoys what he is doing. That is why, of course, I adhere more to the fact that a trader should study the market and make personal decisions in order to control profits, losses, understand what to do if something goes wrong, etc. Every trader should do business, not have fun, but I am sure that there are a lot of such people. But I never judge, after all, it is everyone's choice.

You need to go to the "common" tab on the expert advisor itself by right-clicking the expert advisor on the chart. And then "allow signal modification" and obviously "allow algo trading"

If using Metatrader, the standard Toolbar has a button (style check-button) that is labelled "Algo-trading" and must be down pressed to be ON.
