I created a new acc called Ki-netics which worked for a couple days tracking my trades using EA on mt4 but has since Sep16th mysteriously stopped working and publishing the trades

Can someone explain what might be the cause?

thanks in advance

Restart mt4 - I have a suspicion if your connection drops then the publisher doesn't continue normally afterwords when the connection resumes.

I sometimes manually press test runs to get it going again, but mostly it requires a re-start and I am convinced it's a MT connectivity thing that causes it.
