How do I know if my Expert Advisor (EA) is active on the MT4?

If your EA is successfully applied and active, you should be able to see an icon with a smiling face on the top left side of your chart.

If you are not able to see this icon, please check whether the ‘Auto trading’ function has been activated.  Find the ‘Auto trading' button in the main platform menu and check its colour. If the auto-trading is activated, the button is green; if it is not activated, it will be grey.
