## Troubleshooting
### Issue: EA not trading
**Check:**
1. "Allow Algo Trading" enabled?
2. Symbol is XAUUSD?
3. Timeframe is M15?
4. Emergency lockout active? (check logs)
5. Skip hour active? (9:00 or 21:00 WIB)
6. Spread too wide? (>0.5 pips)
### Issue: Compilation errors
**Common fixes:**
1. Copy ALL files (Experts + Include folders)
2. Use MT5 build 3440+ (older versions may have issues)
3. Check file paths (case-sensitive on some systems)
### Issue: Positions closing immediately
**Check:**
1. H4 emergency reversal triggered? (check logs for "EMERGENCY")
2. Daily drawdown limit hit?
3. Breakeven triggered too early? (check trigger distance)
