After installing the Metatrader 5 program on your computer, please proceed to login. Once logged in, follow these steps: Go to the "File" menu and select "Open Data Folder".
After that, click on the "MQL5" folder.
Then click on the "Experts" folder.
Please proceed to copy the downloaded .EX5 file and paste it into the "Experts" folder.
Please go back to the main program interface and right-click on the empty space in the Navigator window. Then select "Refresh." You will now see the .EX5 file that you previously placed there.
The next step is to configure the EA to connect to the server for license verification. To do this, click on the "Tools" menu and select "Options."
Click on the "Expert Advisors" tab, then check the boxes to match the settings shown in the image below. Enter the following URL and click "OK."
The next step is to select the currency pair you want to run the EA on. Right-click and select "Chart Windows."
Next, go to the Navigator menu. Right-click on the EA and select "Attach to Chart."
Tick the box for "Allow Algo Trading" and then go to the "Inputs" tab.
Then click on the "Load" button to load the preset file that you previously created during the backtesting. Import the file to use the predefined values, and then click "OK" to confirm.
If everything is correct, you should see the chart change color to indicate successful registration and that the EA is ready for use.
