How do I install and use an Expert Advisor (EA)?

On MT4/MT5 for Windows, install an EA as follows.

 

1. Obtain the EA file from a trusted source.

2. From the top menu in MT4/MT5, select [File > Open Data Folder].

3. Copy the EA file to [MQL4 > Experts] for MT4 or [MQL5 > Experts] for MT5.

4. Restart MT4/MT5 or select [Refresh] in the Navigator window.

5. Under [Tools > Options > Expert Advisors], check that algorithmic trading is allowed.

6. Drag the installed EA from Navigator onto the required chart.

7. Review the EA settings and trading permissions, then run it.

 

Test the EA thoroughly on a demo account before using it on a live trading account. Land Prime does not guarantee the operation, performance or results of any third-party EA.
