How to install an Expert Advisor in MetaTrader 5

1. Open the data folder

In MetaTrader 5 click File → Open Data Folder. A file window opens.

2. Copy the EA

Go to MQL5 → Experts and paste the .ex5 file you downloaded from TradingBox.

3. Refresh MetaTrader

Back in MetaTrader, right-click Expert Advisors in the Navigator panel (Ctrl+N) and choose Refresh.

4. Attach it to a chart

Drag the EA onto the chart of the symbol and timeframe described on the product page. In the dialog, check Allow Algo Trading and set the inputs.

5. Enable Algo Trading

Make sure the Algo Trading button in the toolbar is green. A small hat icon in the top-right of the chart confirms the EA is running.

Before trading live

Test the EA on a demo account first and read the risk disclaimer. To check an EA on past data before you trust it, see how to backtest a trading strategy.
