How do I get the trading
robot started?
This tutorial assumes that
you have downloaded the Trading Platform ZIP file
from the website and have extracted or moved the folder
entitled, "MT4-MINI-SPOT4.8.11" (or mini
or standard) to the C:\Program Files folder on your
computer's hard drive.
Step 1: Since no installation
is required, simply find the application file entitled,
"terminal" and double-click on it to launch
the Trading Platform program. (see red checkmark
in image below)
Step 2: Once launched,
the Trading Platform program will prompt you to enter
your personal information to register for a free,
demo trading account. YOU DO NOT
NEED TO PROVIDE YOUR REAL INFORMATION.
(see red checkmarks in image below)
Step 4: Next, select
Account Type of "mini" if available. Select
Leverage of "1:200" if available. Type in
the Deposit of "20000". Then, click the
button entitled, "Next". (see red checkmarks
in image below)
Step 5: Once you have
registered for a free, demo account, write down your
Login and Password for safe-keeping. Then, click the
button entitled, "Finish". (see red checkmarks
in image below)
Step 6: With the Trading
Platform open, look for the tab entitled, "Trade"
in the window entitled, "Terminal" located
at the bottom of the trading platform. Click on the
tab entitled, "Trade". (see red checkmark
in image below)
Step 7: Now, look for
your free, demo account number. You should have written
it down as your "Login". It is also located
in the Title Bar of the Trading Platform program window
and in the window entitled, "Navigator".
Email us your Account Number so that we can generate
a License Key for the Trading Robot. (see red checkmarks
in image below)
Step 8: Make the EURUSD
chart the active window, then find "SPOT 4.5.11.mini"
in the "Navigator" window under the folder
entitled, "Expert Advisors". Double-click
"SPOT 4.5.11.mini" to apply it to the EURUSD
chart. Once the Expert Advisors Properties window
pops up for the EURUSD, use the scroll bar to scroll
down to the bottom of the properties list. (see red
checkmarks in image below)
Step 9: Once you have
scrolled down to the bottom of the properties list
you will see a Value Field for the property entitled,
"Key". This is where your License Key goes.
(see red checkmark in image below)
Step 10: Double-click
the Value Field of the Key property and type in the
License Key that we generated for you. (see red
checkmarks in image below)
Step 11: Once you have
entered the License Key, click on the tab entitled,
"Common" in the Expert Advisors Properties
window. Then, put a checkmark in the checkbox entitled,
"Allow Live Trading". Then, click the button
entitled, "OK". (see red checkmarks
in image below)
Step 12: You will need
to repeat Steps 8-11 for each of the other 4 currency
pair charts. Once the License Key has been entered
into the Expert Adivsor properties window of all 5
currency pair charts, click once on the button at
the top of the Trading Platform program window entitled,
"Expert Advisors" so that the red circle
turned green. If all of your License Keys were entered
correctly, you should see a small 'smiley face' in
the upper right-hand corner of each currency pair
chart. If you don't, double-check your setup and if
it still doesn't work, email us. (see red checkmarks
