      Hi so i just purchased the Bot and is trying to load it on my MT5. Normally I would just drop the files in the

      \MQL5\Experts\Advisors and hit refresh. But this one seems to be not working for me. Am ! doing something wrong because the EA is not showing on my Experts list and also the file extension is .mq5 vs .ex5

      please clarify. or please send me an instructions on how to load this EA. Thanks

      Open the mq5 files with the compiler and press compile. Then the ex5 is created and added in MT5.

      Ok I’m lost… I bought this EA thinking this is like other EA in regards to installation. I didn’t know i need to use Visual Studio and some compiler to be able to use it. There was no clear instructions that came with it. Which compiler are you using?

      Just the default that is installed with MT5, its called MetaEditor. Easy, don’t worry.

      Open data folder where you’re .mq5 files are. Double-click the file you want to compile. MetaEditor will open the file and you just need to press “compile”. Repeat for all EAs and that’s it!

      I personally like that the bots come in an open-source kind of way.

      Note: The “drop and refresh” process you mention is still possible with MT4. It’s just that MT4 will compile the files for you automatically.

      Hi guys,

      I have installed the V5 on an 8cap demo account about a couple hours ago and no trades. Have someone started to trade? I own the V4.3 and there were some information on the left of the chart. Now the V5 doesn’t show any information. I’ m not sure if there is an issue with my installation.

      I haven’t had any trades as well. I’m pretty sure installation is okay though. The entry conditions changed so I’d give it some more time.

      It’s normal to not have as much information on the chart as V5 has been done with another generator.

      As long as you have a smiley face, it should be good. Worst case you can paste your settings here, and we can take a look 🙂

        Thanks, let’s wait a little bit longer and hope all is working fine.
