There are several reasons this may be happening.
1. Your License is not in Metatrader. If you have done a standard install from the recommended broker AxiTrader and correctly installed Trade-Runner your License should be in the directory ” C:\Program Files\MetaTrader- AxiTrader\experts\files ” This file “Licence.txt” was sent to you in your welcome email. If you are using AxiTrader, the easiest way to check if that is the problem is to
a) Copy the text in blue above.
b) Click on your Windows “Start” button.
c) Click on “Run”
d) Paste the blue text you have copied into the window that opened up when you pressed Run.
e) Click “OK”.
This will open the “file” folder where you should find the License file. If it is not there please locate from the original welcome email you were sent and either drag and drop it into that folder or copy and paste it there. IMPORTANT Do not start Metatrader again. In the absence of the License file your computer will have been blocked from the registration server. We are notified when this happens and it is usually restored withing 12 to 24 hours of you correcting the problem.
For a more speedy recovery, once you have fixed the problem we recommend send us a message on Skype. [/dropdown_box]

FXD-Alerter is the culprit: The default “Number of Pips” setting on FXD-Alerter is “-1” if this is set to and positive number it will draw a horizontal alert line on your chart every time you change time frame.

This can occur when you are or have been using multiple monitors. You may be back on a single monitor or still have two monitors. The solution is to hold the Alt key down and press the SpaceBar
