Before you begin
Have the broker or prop-firm rules available and confirm whether the account is demo, live or prop. You remain responsible for complying with those rules.
Follow these steps
- 1
Open Market Watch and confirm the required Gold, Silver or US30 market is available for the mode you intend to use.
- 2
Record the broker symbol exactly, including any prefix or suffix.
- 3
Confirm automated trading is permitted on the account and that the market is open when testing.
- 4
Check the prop-firm rules for Expert Advisors, holding periods, news trading and maximum loss limits.
- 5
If DowGold cannot identify or trade the symbol, open a Broker or prop-firm setup ticket with the exact symbol and terminal message.
Expected result
The intended market is visible and tradable, automated trading is permitted and DowGold reports the expected connection without a repeating symbol error.
