  2. Check βœ… "Allow DLL imports"
  3. Click OK and restart MT4

If still blocked, email Support@quantumedge.us

Q2b: How do I enable WebRequest for license validation? +
⚠️ CRITICAL SETUP STEP - Required for QE to work:
  1. In MT4: Tools β†’ Options β†’ Expert Advisors
  2. Check βœ… "Allow WebRequest for listed URL"
  3. In the box below, add: quantumedge.us

Why this is needed:

QE validates your license online. Without WebRequest enabled to quantumedge.us, the EA cannot verify your license and will not work.

Still having issues? Email Support@quantumedge.us with a screenshot of your Expert Advisors settings.

Q3: My broker won't let me use DLLs - what now? +

Q4: Should I run on EURUSD or GBPUSD? +

H1 and H4 both work well.

Try both to see which matches your learning style.
Some markets work better on H1, some on H4.

Q6: It won't show on my chart +

Look for:
  • βœ… Panel in top-left corner with status
  • βœ… Smiley face ☺ indicator on chart
  • βœ… Experts tab: "QE initialized successfully"
  • βœ… AutoTrading button: Solid GREEN
Why don't I see trades every day? +

Quantum Edge uses a strict 4-priority system. If each condition has a 60% chance of being met, the probability of all four aligning is only 13%. This is by designβ€”we wait for high-probability setups rather than forcing trades in poor conditions.

Normal trading frequency: 3-8 trades per week. Some days will have 0 trades, others might have 2-3. This is completely normal and expected.

Remember: "No trade" is a valid trading decision. The EA is in a trade only 5-15% of the time. The other 85-95% it's waiting for the right conditions.

What win rate should I expect? +

Realistic expectations: 50-60% win rate with 3-8 trades per week.

Key insight: A 52% win rate with proper 1.5:1 risk-reward is more profitable than an 80% win rate with poor risk management.

Win rate alone doesn't determine profitabilityβ€”it's the combination of win rate and risk-reward ratio that matters.

How long before I can judge performance? +

We recommend evaluating over 3-6 months minimum.

First month expectations:

  • Purpose: Learning, not earning
  • Trade count: 12-30 trades
  • Net result: Β±2-4% (completely normal)

Patience is key: A few weeks of trading is not enough to judge any system. Give it time to experience different market conditions.

Q8: Where are the logs/output? +
Check:
  1. Experts tab - Loading/error messages
  2. Journal tab - Order execution logs
  3. QE Panel on chart - Real-time status

βš™οΈ Trading Behavior

Q9: Why isn't it trading today? +
QE is selective. Common reasons:
  • No quality setups available
  • News event protection active
  • Weekend protection active
  • Market conditions not meeting criteria

Normal: Some days = 0 trades, other days = 3+ trades.

Q10: Why did it take a losing trade? +
Losing trades are NORMAL and expected.
Trading involves risk - losses happen.
QE uses stop losses to limit losses.
Q11: It traded but panel says 'waiting' - why? +
Panel updates after trade is placed:
  1. Trade opens β†’ Panel resets to "Waiting"
  2. QE filters for next setup
  3. When conditions met β†’ Shows "READY" again

This is normal behavior.

Q12: Can I change the lot size? +
YES - but not recommended for beginners.

Default: 1% risk per trade (safe for demo learning)
Adjust via: RiskPercentPerTrade setting

Q13: Does it work during news events? +
QE pauses during major news:
  • NFP, CPI, FOMC meetings
  • Major central bank announcements

Panel shows: "Trading: PAUSED" during news.
Resumes automatically after news passes.

Q14: Should I turn it off on weekends? +
No - QE manages weekends automatically:
  • Friday evening: Reduces position sizes
  • Weekend: No trading (markets closed)
  • Monday: Resumes normal operation

Leave it running - QE knows market hours.

Q15: Why did it close at breakeven? +
Trailing stop behavior:
  1. Trade reaches profit target
  2. QE activates trailing stop
  3. Price retraces β†’ Hits trailing stop
  4. Closes at breakeven or small profit

This protects profits.

πŸ“Š Trading Learning

Q16: Is this a martingale/grid system? +
ABSOLUTELY NOT.

QE uses:

  • Fixed percentage risk
  • Stop losses on EVERY trade
  • No averaging down
  • Safe trading principles
Q17: Why are my results different from others? +
Different learning experiences are normal:
  • Different market conditions
  • Different number of charts
  • Different brokers
  • Different personal learning

Focus on YOUR learning journey.

Why doesn't QE trade every day? (alternative explanation) +

QE uses a strict 4-priority system. If each condition has a 60% chance of being met, the probability of all four aligning is only 13%. This means:

  • Some days: 0 trades (waiting for conditions)
  • Other days: 2-3 trades (when conditions align)
  • Weekly average: 3-8 trades

This selectivity is what protects your capital during unfavorable market conditions.

πŸ”§ Technical & Errors

Q18: Chart error: 'invalid ticket number' +
MT4 glitch:
  1. Restart MT4
  2. Check internet connection
  3. Wait 5 minutes

If persistent, email Support@quantumedge.us

Q19: Can I run multiple pairs? +
YES - ENCOURAGED! More pairs = more learning.

Add as many as you like:

  • Forex pairs
  • Indices
  • Commodities
  • Cryptocurrencies

No limits - learn from every market.
