Topic: Troubleshooting

MT4-FST Expert cannot run

Symptoms:

- A comment appears on the chart "MT4-FST Expert started!" but nothing happens.
- Error message: cannot load library 'MT4-FST Library.dll' (error 126)

Reason 1:
- The file MT4-FST Library.dll is not copied on the proper place.

Solution:
- Copy the file "C:\Program Files\Forex Strategy Trader\MetaTrader\MT4-FST Library.dll" to "C:\Program Files\METATRADER\experts\libraries" folder.

Reason 2:
- Missing dependence components. MT4-FST Library.dll depends on two other files: msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll. These files are Microsoft's libraries necessary for C++ programs build with MS Visual Studio 2008. They are include in the Microsoft's updates.

Solution:
-  Update your Windows or install manually C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86).

Re: Troubleshooting

Meta Trader crashes after loading "MT4-FST Expert"

Symptoms:
- MT shows a dump screen and stops.

Reason:
- Incompatibility between the Expert and the Library file.

Solution:
- Delete the library file:
            "C:\Program Files\METATRADER\experts\libraries\MT4-FST Library.dll";
- Delete the expert:
            "C:\Program Files\METATRADER\experts\MT4-FST Expert.mq4";
            "C:\Program Files\METATRADER\experts\MT4-FST Expert.ex4";
- If you are using Windows Vista, press the "Compatibility Files" button in order to go to the VirtualStore: "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\METATRADER\experts\libraries". Delete FST files from that location also.
- Reinstall the library and the expert.

Re: Troubleshooting

"MT4-FST Expert" name is gray and cannot start

Reason:
- The expert is not compiled.

Solution:
- Right click on the expert and select "Modify" option.
- In the MetaEditor press the "Compile" button.  Close the editor after successful compilation.

Re: Troubleshooting

The new version of Forex Strategy Trader will test the dll at the starting up of the expert.

Ops! Do you try testing the FST Expert? It works in trade mode only.

Re: Troubleshooting

Hi,

Why it always shows that I'm not connected to Meta Trader Terminal? I'm using the FastFX Trader Platform demo. How to connect? Thanks, please advise.

Read the ReadMe file and follow the instruction. Forex Strategy Trader works perfectly with FastBrokers.

Re: Troubleshooting

Hmm, for the sake of testing, what if you use these libraries:
