From picking an EA and validating it in backtests to running it live — all on one page.
Before running any EA live, always backtest / forward-test it in your own account environment — the same EA can behave very differently across brokers due to spread, slippage and swap.
Ctrl+R to open the Strategy Tester: choose the EA → symbol (e.g. XAUUSD) → timeframe → “Every tick based on real ticks” → set deposit & leverage.💡 Questions about a backtest? Post your set file and report in the TG channel @kingmt5ea and the community will take a look.
File → Open Data FolderMQL4/Experts(MT4) orMQL5/Experts(MT5)Allow Algo Trading and make sure the “Algo Trading” toolbar button is green“Invalid license” → check the key was copied in full (no spaces) and you haven't exceeded the activation limit.
Sad face in the chart corner → “Allow Algo Trading” is off; re-attach the EA and tick it.
No trades for a long time → check trading hours, symbol suffix (e.g. XAUUSD.r needs adjusting in inputs) and whether the spread filter is triggering.
