Install the EA in MetaTrader 5
From the download to the first trade: files, WebRequest, chart and licence key.
Do this on the PC or VPS that will run the EA. It takes about ten minutes.
1. Copy the file
In MetaTrader 5 open File > Open Data Folder, then MQL5 > Experts. Copy the .ex5 file you downloaded into that folder. Close MetaTrader completely and open it again - the EA now shows in the Navigator under Expert Advisors.
2. Allow trading and the licence check
Open Tools > Options > Expert Advisors:
- tick Allow algorithmic trading
- tick Allow WebRequest for listed URL and add exactly
https://zippz.online
Without the WebRequest line the EA loads but can never ask our server for a trade.
3. Open the right chart
- BTC Breaker, BTC Ninja, BTC Helium, BTC Wrecker: a BTCUSD chart
- Gold Ranger, Gold Master, Gold London, Gold Tide: an XAUUSD chart
- ETH Breaker: an ETHUSD chart
Any timeframe works - the EA reads the bars it needs itself.
4. Attach the EA
Drag the EA onto the chart. In the Common tab tick Allow Algo Trading. In the Inputs tab paste your Licence key (from your status page) and set your lot. Press OK, and make sure the Algo Trading button in the toolbar is green.
5. Check the panel
The licence line should say LICENSED or WAITING (waiting for the next setup). Anything else - see What the panel says.
On a VPS
Repeat every step on the VPS, including the WebRequest line - it does not travel with the file. Run each EA on one machine only: the same licence on two machines at once is stopped.
