Confused about settings in MT4/Tools/Options

My EA has been working fine but when I opened it up today, I looked in my MT4/Tools/Options and see that where it says live trading, its not checked!
In that area, the 4 primary boxes should be checked right?

These settings are only for your convinience, not mandatory. For eg. if your check the 4th option "Allow live trading"; now every time when you load any expert advisor on chart, you will find "Allow live trading" is automatically checked here.
 
4 primary boxes should be checked for your ease.
