Now, first of all, I'd suggest to make sure you have the latest MetaTrader installed (= that you are using the latest MT), which is at the moment is Build 198, dated 19 October (date MAKES a difference!). Secondly, to use an EA in live trading/demo (works the same way, since demo is basically live trading, but not with real money). You open a chart, take an EA and DRAG it onto the chart. Then you'll see a window with EA's properties/options. Change them if you like, if not press OK. That's it basically. Now, to make sure the EA is fine/ works, use this: if everything is OK, you ll see a smiley face at the top right corner of a chart. If its not a smiley but a cross, check the button on the upper panel (its has a 'stop' icon when its disabled and 'play' when its enabled), you need to have that icon as PLAY (= EAs enabled).
Well, that's basically it. Again and again, always check the help that goes with the program. Helps a lot.
Hope that helps,
Diam0nd.
