MT4 Message: Common error
Issue
The EA dashboard shows that there is a 'common error' on the MT4 level which blocks the communication or trading with the broker server. This may occur after a lost connection over the Internet to the broker server where the reconnection did not succeed properly, or due to some other account or market related issue.
Resolution
Restart your MT4: In the MT4 menu select , wait 5 seconds then start it up again. Hopefully the EA 'code 2, common error' would get cleared and the MT4 would be able to operate fully again.
When the demo broker account expires this message may turn up. In this case create a new demo account with the broker.
