Frequent questions

The doubts of people who already have the bot and are installing or using it. The ones easier to see come with a short video, with the same in text beside it.

After buying

Where is my licence key?

In the Telegram message where we sent you the link to this guide: we send it as soon as you report your payment. If you haven't reported the payment yet, write to us on Telegram with your purchase's email and transaction code.

The download link doesn't work

The files are on Google Drive. If it asks you to sign in, use any Google account. If it says it cannot scan the file for viruses, press Download anyway: it is the bot's file.

Which file do I download, MetaTrader 4 or 5?

The one of the platform where you have your account: .ex5 for MetaTrader 5 and .ex4 for MetaTrader 4. The steps are the same.

Before installing

If I switch my computer off, does the bot stop copying?

Yes: the bot copies while MetaTrader is open. If you don't want to leave your PC on day and night, put it on a VPS. The VPS page shows how.

Can I install it on my phone?

No. MetaTrader on a phone does not run bots: install it on a computer or a Windows VPS. On your phone you can log in with your account and see the trades the bot opens.

I have a Mac

The simplest is a Windows VPS: you log in from your Mac with the Windows App and install everything there. The VPS page has the step by step.

Can I use the same key on two accounts?

No. Each key is for one account. To copy on another account, write to us and we'll give you another key.

Is it working?

How do I know the bot is working?▶ Video

Both charts show their role in green: Operator connected to the server and Watching the trades. When a signal arrives, the panel shows it as the last signal and the trade appears in MetaTrader's Trade tab.

A signal was sent and it didn't execute

Check the six points of My bot is not copying: the cause is almost always one of them. If everything is fine, that page says what to send us.

Why didn't it trade today?

The bot copies the signals we send: if there were no signals today, there is nothing to copy. And the market closes at the weekend.

It says algorithmic trading is not allowed

Check that MetaTrader's Algo Trading button is green and that the bot has that option ticked in its Common tab. If it stays the same, ask your broker whether your account type accepts bots.

The bot's chart looks black

That's normal: that chart is the bot's panel and shows its lines on a black background. Don't close it.

Can I keep trading by hand with the bot on?

Yes. The bot only handles the trades it opens; it doesn't touch yours.

Red messages on the panel

An operator is already running: choose Watcher

You left both charts as Operator. On the second chart press F7 and change the Role to Watcher.

No watcher: break-even will not move

The second chart is missing. Open another EURUSD and put the bot on it with Role = Watcher (step 8).

Put the bot on your broker's EURUSD chart

The Operator is on another pair. Switch that chart to your broker's EURUSD, with its suffix if it has one.

STOPPED: the key is not valid

The key was copied wrong or it changed. Press F7 and paste the key again, without spaces. If it stays the same, write to us and we'll send it again.

Symbols and trades

My broker uses EURUSDm or EURUSD.pro. Which chart do I open?▶ Video

That one, with its suffix. The bot reads from the chart how your broker names the other symbols: on EURUSDm, an AUDJPY trades as AUDJPYm.

My broker calls gold GOLD. What do I do?▶ Video
1:33

On the Operator, type XAUUSD=GOLD in Symbols your broker names differently, as in step 7. The panel will show the line Map: XAUUSD as GOLD.

Does the bot work out the lot or do I set it?

You choose it on the Operator: a fixed lot, or a percent of your balance per signal. The video of step 6 shows it.

A signal shows as not traded. Why?

We see the reason: an excluded symbol, the market closed, price already far from the entry or your broker's refusal. Write to us and we'll tell you which one.

Break-even and the watcher

What does the Watcher do?

When price touches TP1, it moves your stop loss to the entry. It notices even if the touch lasts an instant or it was off at that moment.

It went far and closed at zero or a small loss

After TP1 the stop is at your entry. If price comes back before your TP, the trade closes there; the spread or the commission can leave it slightly negative.

It touched TP1 but the stop didn't move at once

Your broker requires a minimum distance between the stop and the price. The Watcher tries every second and sets it as soon as the broker accepts.

What do I set on the Watcher?▶ Video
1:33

Only the server, your key and Role = Watcher. Leave the rest as it comes: the lot, the list and the map are the Operator's.

Changes and versions

I formatted my PC or changed computer

Repeat steps 2 to 8 on the new computer with the same key. Your settings are not saved outside MetaTrader.

Can I move the bot from a demo account to a real one?

Yes. Remove the bot from the old account and put it on the new one with the same key. If your key is tied to the old account, write to us and we'll change it.

How do I hear about a new version?

It shows in this guide, in Downloads, with what changed. To update, replace the files and put the bot back on both charts at the same time.
