Only simple indicators seem to work in MT4

So I made a very simple indicator to test out the export to mt4 and it worked. I used only the SMA.

I tried another one with ATR and I got results in StrategyQuant but in MT4 it wouldn’t do a single trade. This also applied to the ones generated by StrategyQuant that showed tons of activity but none in MT4. Similar thing with Bollinger Bands. I tried to do a simple if it closes below the BB Down then buy and it made no trades.

I attached a sample screenshot below of one that was generated but in MT4 it would make no trades during the test.

What am I doing wrong?

I figured it out. It needed a new EA name and I couldn’t just overwrite the old one without refreshing properly

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
