## 🛠️ **TROUBLESHOOTING**

### **Common Issues:**

#### **❌ "Include file not found" Error**
**Solution:** Ensure Include/ files are copied to correct location:
```
MQL5/Include/AI/AIIntegrationManager.mqh
MQL5/Include/Trade/TradeManager.mqh
etc.
```

#### **❌ "AutoTrading disabled" Message**
**Solution:** 
1. Click AutoTrading button in MT5 toolbar
2. Check if your broker allows automated trading
3. Verify account permissions

#### **❌ "No trades being executed"**
**Possible causes:**
1. **MinConfidence too high** - Lower to 70-75
2. **Market conditions** - EA waits for high-conviction opportunities
3. **Risk limits reached** - Check daily loss limits
4. **Spread too wide** - Test on major pairs with tight spreads

#### **❌ "Dashboard not appearing"**
**Solution:**
1. Ensure `EnableDashboard = true`
2. Check if chart has sufficient space
3. Try refreshing chart (F5)
