As an aid to help confirm the portfolio EA is working properly in the Live Account, we’ve color-coded the chart’s background. Below are some examples:

Example #1:
SidekickEA is not running and a database does not exist. This would occur if SidekickEA has never been run previously.

Example #2:
SidekickEA is not currently running, but a database does exist. This would occur if SidekickEA had been run in the past but is not currently running in a Demo Account

Example #3:
SidekickEA is currently running and a database exists — suggesting the software is working as expected.
