This error hasn't occurred before, has it?

And it is not explained on the deepseek site.
Error 4014 in the status of your dashboard is a classic of the "too smart robot bumped into the security service" genre. Imagine: your advisor is trying to reach the AI brain on DeepSeek servers, and the terminal responds to him: "It's not allowed! Where is the pass?"
Technically, the code crashes when calling WebRequest(). By default, MetaTrader 5 prohibits any Internet requests until you personally give the go-ahead to specific URLs. Without this, EA sees only 4014 – Function is not allowed.
How to fix it:
1. Open the terminal → Tools → Settings (or Ctrl+O).
2. Go to the Advisors tab.
3. Check the box "Allow WebRequest for specified URLs.
" 4. Click the "Add" button and type:
https://api.deepseek.com
5. Click OK and restart the Advisor.
That's it, the doorman has now been issued — AI analytics will work, the status will change from "Error: 4014" to something life-affirming like "OK (verified)" or just "OK".
I specifically added a connection check at startup (CheckAPIConnection()) to immediately understand if there is access to the API. I wrote the code honestly: "I'm testing the connection..." → received a turn from the gate → showed an error in the panel. The humor is that the robot is fully functional, it just wasn't given an Internet fishing rod.
