Common Issues

Check these:

  3. Did you copy full webhook URL? (Should start with https://)
  4. Is signal format correct? (Test in Playground first)
👉 Full troubleshooting
Symbol doesn’t exist on your broker
  • Check symbol name on your broker (might be EURUSDm or EURUSD.a)
  • Use symbol mapping in webhook settings
  • Or change signal to use your broker’s exact symbol name
Not enough balance for position size
  • Reduce lot size (try VOL=0.01 for micro lot)
  • OR switch to Risk % mode: RISK=1 (risk 1% of balance)
