# Troubleshooting Version 5

## EA Does Not Appear In Navigator[​](#ea-does-not-appear-in-navigator "Direct link to EA Does Not Appear In Navigator")

Check that MT4 was restarted after installation. Then check Navigator under:

```
Expert Advisors > iTradeAIMS
```

If you need to verify the technical file path, Version 5 should be installed at:

```
MQL4\Experts\iTradeAIMS\BananaEA-Auto.ex4
```

## License Is Not Accepted[​](#license-is-not-accepted "Direct link to License Is Not Accepted")

Check:

* the license key was pasted into `SerialKey`
* the account has internet access
* MT4 is not blocked by firewall or antivirus
* the installed package is the official customer package
* the same key is being used for the correct BananaEA product entitlement

## Preset Loads But Behavior Looks Wrong[​](#preset-loads-but-behavior-looks-wrong "Direct link to Preset Loads But Behavior Looks Wrong")

Confirm the preset is a Version 5 `.set` file. Version 4 presets are not compatible with Version 5.

Also check:

* `Magic`
* `LotMethod` and `RiskValue`
* sessions and day-of-week controls
* Smart Risk settings
* scale-in mode
* trailing activation condition
* pending-order cancellation rules

## No Trades Are Opening[​](#no-trades-are-opening "Direct link to No Trades Are Opening")

Common causes:

* AutoTrading is off.
* The current day is disabled.
* The current time is outside the enabled session.
* a market filter rejected the signal.
* `MaxOpenTrades` has been reached.
* `MultiTradeMode` is waiting for break even or PC1.
* Smart Risk controls are blocking new entries.
* pending-order lifecycle rules cancelled the order.
* license validation failed.

Check the Experts tab and dashboard messages first.

## Version 4 Trades Are Being Mixed With Version 5[​](#version-4-trades-are-being-mixed-with-version-5 "Direct link to Version 4 Trades Are Being Mixed With Version 5")

Run each version on separate charts and use intentional Magic Numbers. Check:

* Version 4 chart settings.
* Version 5 `Magic`.
* `UseMagicNumberFilter`.
* whether another EA or trade manager is managing the same symbol.

## Smart Risk Monitor Blocks Trading[​](#smart-risk-monitor-blocks-trading "Direct link to Smart Risk Monitor Blocks Trading")

Check whether one of these protections is active:

* trailing high-water-mark drawdown
* weekly drawdown cap
* consecutive loss circuit breaker
* session profit lock
* Challenge Mode target reached
* progressive risk reduction reducing exposure

Some modes only block new entries. Other modes can close EA trades and then block new entries.
