This is a short YouTube screencast by Alan Solarsh demonstrating how to get a MetaTrader Expert Advisor (EA) to show a happy (smiley) face, i.e., to be allowed to trade. The video walks viewers through: opening the EA properties (double-click the EA icon or right-click → Expert Advisors → Properties), enabling specific options (Allow live trading, Allow DLL imports, Allow import of external experts, Allow modification of signal settings), ensuring the EA is set to trade both long and short, and turning AutoTrading from red to green so the EA becomes active and opens trades. The speaker repeatedly asks viewers to pause the video to perform each step.
