It made a walkforward test and then finished. When pressing the trade button again it says ... 'Can't find MT4!' again... User and password field don't bother when using the MT4 plugin.... When i leave the User and password fields empty then i can't push the trade button. Last edited by Sundance; 05/27/13 10:21.

At the moment it says: 27.05.2013 12:18 The statement is only true whenn the file hasn't exist bevore. After a re-start of MT4 it shows the same date and time.

On that MT4 instance i have a demo and a real account! i deleted the real account and deleted again the mt4mapr.sys file restarting MT4 ... Again it creates a mt4mapr.sys file with current date and time and Zorro shows the same error. One minute later it creates also the mt4mapd.sys file ... (getting tricky :-) ) Last edited by Sundance; 05/27/13 11:17.

In any case that's apparently the reason of the problem. Please run the following EA: Code: int start() { if(IsDemo()) Comment("Demo Account!"); else Comment("Real Account!"); return(0); } Let me know which comment you see in the left upper corner of the chart. Edit: Are you sure Zorro was not yet running when you looked for the files? Only MT4 and only one MT4 instance?

Would be cool if it is a real account i would directly make a withdrawal about 8000� :-) Will test it in a moment. Give me 2 minutes...

When i log in i set the Server to Activtrades-Demo. Zorro and MT4 closed start MT4 now i get only one file. The mt4mapr.sys. The Zorro EA does like it should. It thinks i have a real account. So the problem is the MT4 account. But why does it say it is a real account? Puuuhh. So that's it. Its not your problem anymore

If it does not disappear by reinstalling, contact the broker and inform him about the problem - send him the small EA. Any EA that uses the IsDemo function won't work on that MT4 implementation. If the broker does not solve the problem soon, just tell him you want now to withdraw the $8000 from your real account . You can still test the MT4 plugin - just open an MT4 demo account with any other broker. There are hundreds of brokers with MT4 accounts, and opening a demo account is a matter of a minute. You'd have to install a second MT4 version, though.

And this demo account will be recognized as a real account within MT4. I just created a new demo account. Those will only stay active for 30 days but this is a 'real' demo account and Zorro now runs as it should! I will contact AT and tell them what shi.... they have done. I really appreciate your help in solving the problem!!! PS: ... and i really hoped to find a bug within Zorro Think others with ActivTrades accounts will suffer the same as i did ...
