HI GUYS

I CAN'T DO MY BACK TESTING BECAUSE EVERY TIME WENT I TRY TO DO I GET THIS MESSAGE

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY?


2008.11.10 17:53:41 2008.11.11 00:10 ForexAutoPilot EURUSD,M5: Alert: Your Key is not valid. Please activate your copy.\n Your expert ID=0\n If ExpertID is 0 first check the EA settings.\n Turn on ALLOW DLL IMPORTS and \nremove CONFIRM DLL FUNCTION CALLS there.\n Also check the global parameters of the Metatrader:\n Tools -> Options -> Expert Advisors. \nTurn on Allow Dll imports\n and turn off Confirm DLL function calls\nThen restart the Metatrader

BY THE WAY I DO HAVE A VALID KEY NUMBER.

THANKS TO ALL

Make sure you have also entered your key in the backtesting section under expert properties and the last setting under inputs. If you have done this and everything looks fine but you still get that message, turn MetaTrader off and then back on and all should be fine. You may need to repeatedly re-start MetaTrader if you make changes to the expert properties but you should only have to enter your key once.

I get similar problem. I have a valid key which has been entered in the EA and back test area. I can back test, but every 2 or 3 attempts I get the expertid = 0 again. I then have to turn Allow Dll imports off, exit MT4, enter it again and then then turn Allow Dll imports on again. I have reinstalled MT4 several times and downloaded FAP's again, but still the same.

Has anyone had similar?

thanks

I have a similar issue with back testing however exiting MT4 and starting it up again resolves the issue, it only seems to happen on the back test portion though.

Thanks, I guess I'll have to live with it
