Automation troubleshooting
When the automation breaks
Every guide here starts from a symptom you can recognise, and works through the causes in the order they actually occur. These cover the plumbing - TradingView, the webhook bridge, MetaTrader, the machine it runs on - which is the same for everyone automating a strategy, whatever strategy it is.
They are written from running this setup on a live account, not from documentation. Where a guide mentions a setting it means your setting - nothing here describes how QP itself is configured.
