Step01/ 06
Download the correct version
Open My Licenses, find your active Trade Dashboard license, and download the Expert Advisor for MT4 or MT5.
The platform version must match your MetaTrader installation.
Trade Dashboard Setup Guide
Install and activate
in a few minutes.
Follow the same simple setup for a purchased license or free trial. Choose your MetaTrader version, install the Expert Advisor, and connect your license.
Step02/ 06
Open the MetaTrader data folder
In MetaTrader, select File → Open Data Folder. Open MQL4 for MT4 or MQL5 for MT5, then open the Experts folder.
Using Open Data Folder prevents installing into the wrong terminal.
Step03/ 06
Install the Expert Advisor
Copy the downloaded Expert Advisor file into the Experts folder. Keep the original filename and file extension unchanged.
MT4 uses an .ex4 file; MT5 uses an .ex5 file.
Step04/ 06
Refresh MetaTrader
Return to MetaTrader and refresh Expert Advisors in the Navigator, or close and reopen the platform.
Trade Dashboard should now appear under Navigator → Expert Advisors.
Step05/ 06
Launch it on a chart
Drag Trade Dashboard from the Navigator onto a chart. When the Expert Advisor settings window opens, confirm it to continue.
You will enable algorithmic trading after connecting your license.
Step06/ 06
Enter your license key
Enter your key in the license box displayed by Trade Dashboard. Then allow algorithmic trading in the Expert Advisor settings and enable Algo Trading or AutoTrading in MetaTrader.
Enter the key in the dashboard’s license box—not in the Expert Advisor settings—before enabling algorithmic trading.
Quick troubleshooting
If the dashboard does not appear
Most setup issues come from installing the wrong platform version, copying the file into a different terminal, or leaving algorithmic trading disabled.
Not visible in Navigator
Confirm the file is inside the active terminal’s MQL4/Experts or MQL5/Experts folder, then refresh the Navigator.
Dashboard does not start
Enable Algo Trading or AutoTrading and allow algorithmic trading in the Expert Advisor settings.
License is not accepted
Copy the complete key again from My Licenses and confirm you installed the matching MT4 or MT5 product version.
