Install and test an exported MT5 Expert Advisor.

1. 1. Download the .mq5 file from the Export page.
2. 2. Open MetaEditor from MetaTrader 5.
3. 3. Place the file in the MQL5/Experts folder.
4. 4. Compile the file in MetaEditor and review any warnings.
5. 5. Open MetaTrader 5 and attach the EA to a chart for the matching symbol/timeframe.
6. 6. Enable Algo Trading only after you understand the settings.
7. 7. Run the EA in Strategy Tester before considering any live account use.

The exported EA is starter source code. Treat Strategy Tester results as one piece of evidence, not a guarantee.

Before enabling Algo Trading

• Attach the EA to the same symbol and timeframe saved in the export.
• The EA waits for a real new candle after startup; it should not execute an older signal immediately when attached mid-candle.
• A market gap can fill beyond the requested stop or target price.
• If one OHLC candle touches both SL and TP, candle data alone cannot prove which happened first.
• Broker spread, slippage, commission, liquidity, tick history, and symbol specifications can change results.

Start with a demo account. Compilation and Strategy Tester results do not guarantee profit or identical live execution.
