Unable to find element using Selenium in Python

I'm trying to click on a button, but selenium can't find the element.
I'm using the xpath:
//button[#title="Monitor Chart(Ctrl+Alt+G)"]
but selenium can't locate. I can find the xpath from Chrome manualy using the find(Ctrl+F) tool, as we can see in the image.
Here is my code and error. The xpath does't have an ID.
Code Snapshot:

To click on the clickable element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button.eui-btn.eui-btn-default.eui-btn-normal[title^='Monitor Chart']"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#class='eui-btn eui-btn-default eui-btn-normal' and starts-with(#title, 'Monitor Chart')]"))).click()
Note: You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
hiding_button = WebDriverWait(browser, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[title ='Monitor Chart(Ctrl+Alt+G)']")))
hiding_button.click()

Thanks to all. But I figure it out the issue. The button was inside an iFrame. So I hadd to switch to the iFrame first.
Code used:
iframe = driver.find_element_by_id('Access_Performance_Monitor')
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)

How to locate the first channel points button/icon on twitch.tv/esl_csgo using Selenium and Python

On twitch.tv/esl_csgo I want to click on the channel points button/icon but it keeps giving me the Error
Message: no such element: Unable to locate element
I have searched and tried various methods of finding the element for over 4 hours and I have not found a way to click on the element
This is my code but it can not click on the button I want to, help would really be appreciated.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\Me\\Desktop\\UserData")
options.page_load_strategy = 'normal'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://twitch.tv/esl_csgo")
time.sleep(10)
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="c7037441c8fd58e7e0ac6326babcf03d"]/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div/div/section/div/div[5]/div[2]/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div/div[1]/div[2]/button/div/div/div/div[2]/span')
element.click()

To click on the first channel points button/icon you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div[class^='InjectLayout-sc'] > div span[data-test-selector]"))).click()
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[starts-with(#class, 'InjectLayout-sc')]/div//span[#data-test-selector]"))).click()
Note: You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

Selenium to automate clicking a tab using Python

I am using Selenium with Python to webscrape a page which includes JavaScript.
The racecourse result tabs towards the top of the page eg "Ludlow","Dundalk" are manually clickable but do not have any obvious hyperlinks attached to them.
...
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='C:/A38/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe')
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.maximize_window()
# Navigate to the application home page
driver.get("https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/results/2020-11-23")
...
This works so far. I have used BeautifulSoup to find the label names of the NewGenericTabs eg "Ludlow","Dundalk" etc. However, the following code, to attempt to automate clicking a tab, times out each time.
WebDriverWait(driver, 60).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "Ludlow"))).click()
Would welcome any help.

The WebElement aren't <a> tags but <span> tags so By.LINK_TEXT wouldn't work.
To click on the desired elements you can use either of the following xpath based Locator Strategies:
Ludlow:
driver.get("https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/results/2020-11-23")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#mode='primary']"))).click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[#data-test-id='generic-tab' and text()='Ludlow']").click()
Dundalk:
driver.get("https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/results/2020-11-23")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#mode='primary']"))).click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//span[#data-test-id='generic-tab' and text()='Dundalk']").click()
Ideally, to click on the elements you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use the following xpath based Locator Strategies:
Ludlow:
driver.get("https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/results/2020-11-23")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#mode='primary']"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[#data-test-id='generic-tab' and text()='Ludlow']"))).click()
Dundalk:
driver.get("https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/results/2020-11-23")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//button[#mode='primary']"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[#data-test-id='generic-tab' and text()='Dundalk']"))).click()
Note: You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Python Selenium, help me locate an element in a website

I want to click on "new order" icon in mt4 web terminal using selenium module in python
This is the code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Chrome('./chromedriver')
driver.get("https://www.mql5.com/en/trading")
new_order = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[3]/div[1]/a[1]/span[1]')
new_order.click()
And this is the error that I get:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"/html/body/div[3]/div[1]/a[1]/span[1]"}
(Session info: chrome=86.0.4240.198)
What is the correct way to locate that button, I searched and found some ways to locate elements for selenium but I couldn't get any of them work for me.

Looks like your page is dealing with iframes. So while the above answer has good practices, you also need to switch to the iframe:
driver.switch_to.iframe(self,frame reference)
Look for more details at https://www.techbeamers.com/switch-between-iframes-selenium-python/ or https://stackoverflow.com/a/24286392/1387701

The element with tooltip as New Order is within an <iframe> so you have to:
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired frame to be available and switch to it.
Induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be clickable.
You can use the following xpath based Locator Strategies:
driver.get('https://www.mql5.com/en/trading')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.frame_to_be_available_and_switch_to_it((By.XPATH,"//iframe[#id='webTerminalHost']")))
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[text()='Connect to an Account']//following-sibling::div[1]/span"))).click()
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[#title='New Order']/span"))).click()
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

You can use a different xpath:
new_order = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//a[#title="New Order"]')
But I would suggest By, WebDriverWait, and expected_conditions:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome('./chromedriver')
driver.get("https://www.mql5.com/en/trading")
time.sleep(5)
iframe = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//iframe[#id="webTerminalHost"]')))
driver.switch_to.frame(iframe)
new_order = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//a[#title="New Order"]')))
new_order.click()

How to extract the contents using Selenium and Python

Considering the HTML:
I want to select the paragraphs to the left with Selenium. Tried my hand at class_name and id but got NoSuchElementException. Why am I getting this error? I mean the elements are clearly there then why isn't Selenium recognizing those?
Methods I tried:
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#id = 'mar-2019']//div[#class='report_data']").text
element = driver.find_element_by_id("mar-2019").text
element = driver.find_element_by_class_name("report_data").text
Where am I going wrong?

To handle dynamic element induce WebDriverWait() and wait for visibility_of_element_located()
element=WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID,"mar-2019"))).text
OR
element=WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR,"div#mar-2019"))).text
You need to import following libraries.
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

There are multiple child <p> elements within multiple parent/ancestor <div> elements. To extract the contents of the <p> elements within the parent <div id="mar-2019"> element you need to induce WebDriverWait for the visibility_of_all_elements_located() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using CSS_SELECTOR and get_attribute("innerHTML"):
print([my_elem.get_attribute("innerHTML") for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".data-row")))])
Using XPATH and text attribute:
print([my_elem.text for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//div[#id='mar-2019']//div[#class='report_data']//p")))])
Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
