Hi @Dellan,

EAs are 3rd party scripts so we aren't able to provide much help unfortunately. There could be a few reasons why it does not work:

1: It was created for MT5 and not MT4

2: The EA was designed to work only for certain instrument names or naming conventions, this is frequently an issue on the Spreadbet account because we have a £ symbol as a suffix in the instrument name.

3: You may have Auto trading on EAs disabled on the account. You can check this setting from Tools->options->expert advisors:

4: The file itself could be corrupt, you could try to download a new copy.

For EA code related questions you can consult fellow MT4 community users via https://www.mql5.com/en/forum

All the best!
