Using Metatrader expert advisors is simple, but sometimes people get confused with it and after downloading a file with the expert advisor a user might get stuck with it without knowing what to do next. This a simple tutorial on how to attach an expert advisor to Metatrader 4 char and activate it.
1. Download your MT4 expert advisor or copy it and save it to your MetaTrader’s ‘experts’ folder:
2. Double click it with your mouse and it will be opened in MQL editor (this editor comes with MT4). There will be a button ‘Compile’ at the center top of the window. Click it and your expert advisor will be compiled and ready to use. There might be some errors or warnings during the compilation, but in most cases there shouldn’t be any. You can try and fix those errors, but it takes time and some programming skills, usually.
3. Now, all you need to do is add your expert advisor to the preferred chart and activate it. You can also change some input parameters for the advisor in the Inputs tab:
That’s it! Now you can enjoy your expert advisor — its signals or its trading (if it is designed to perform trading). Good luck with them!

Thank you so much for the EA installation tutorial. I find it usefull, I can now intall any EA to my MetaTrader Platform.
May God continue to bless you amen.
Please, I downloaded BINARIO EA, and you said it is only good for Manual Trading, my question now is, how can I trade with the Binario EA or any EA manually?
Secondly, do you host EA for clients?
I am waiting for your response to both questions.
Thanks.

If you don’t allow EA to trade when attaching it, it will not perform any trading, but will signal for a trade.
As for the second question – no, I don’t host EAs for clients yet.

Thank you very much. Please, how do we set stop loss, trailing stop and take profit in using an EA like Moving Average and MACD? Thanks
▼Reply
April 4th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Hassan, if EAs have input paramters that correspond to stop-loss, take-profit or trailing stop-loss then you can set them via these parameters (when you attach EA, or opening EA’s properties when it’s already attached). If it has no such parameters then you’ll need to modify EA’s code – and that’s different for each EA.

When you attach an EA there’s a prompt window. There’s an Inputs tab in this window.
If you’ve already attached the EA and want to change the input parameters, you can right-click the chart, then choose Expert Advisors, then Properties.

Thanks, I attached Moving average to GBP USD H1. It gave me profit of 50 pips.(It executed ‘buy’ when MA cross upward), but when there was a reversal) downward, the long position was not closed to execute a short position. I realised that I would have to close the trade myself.
But on the properties I saw lots, maximum risk, decrease factor, etc, but did not know which one to alter. Does it mean that the MA of metatrader 4 did not come with stops.
▼Reply
April 4th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Hassan, yes that means that there is no way to add a stop-loss without modifying the code of this EA.

lucky, trading with EA makes your results almost completely independent of yourself. So, if you are constantly losing from manual trading and can’t find a way to improve your skills, I’d recommend using the automated expert advisors.

Hello, Mr Andrei,
Why are my Expert advisors not executing trades? Is it because I shut down my computer system before they execute trades, despite that i allowed trading and enabled them.
If experts are more than one can’t trade be executed?

▼Reply
May 27th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Marie, if your platform is MetaTrader 4, then reread the whole tutorial. It describes in details how to activate expert advisors.
Expert advisor is added to a chart. Each chart has only one currency pair and timeframe associated with it. So if you want to use EA on another pair/timeframe open another chart and add EA to it.

jatin, do you have MT4 properly installed? Your MQL Editor should automatically recognize .mq4 files and open them on double click. Alternatively, you can open Editor manually from MT4 (a yellow rhombus sign under the main menu) and then open your EAs from the Editor.

Thanks

October 4th, 2008 at 11:45 am
Onyeka:
1. You need to set the time depending on the news’ time and your MT4 server’s time. E.g. if the news come outs at 15:00 GMT and your server time is GMT+3, you have to set Hour to 18. It doesn’t matter what’s your local time is, only your MetaTrader server’s time matters.
2. One standard lot (1 lot) is 100,000 units of trading volume (you have to use $1,000 margin to trade 1 standard lot with 1:100 leverage). 0.1 standard lot is 10,000 units of trading volume or mini lot – it requires $100 margin on 1:100 leverage. 0.01 is 1,000 units of trading volume or micro lot – it requires $10 margin on 1:100 leverage.
3. To remove an expert advisor from a chart you have three options:
a) Right click on the chart, select Advisors->Remove. It will remove your EA from the chart.
b) Right click on the chart, select Advisors->Properties, General tab and remove the mark from “Allow advisor to trade”. It will disable trading for this EA.
c) Click the Advisors icon button under the main menu. It will turn red and it will disable all advisors in the MetaTrader platform.

The same thing is happening when I try to run the period_converter for the M1 historical data.

Hi Andrei,
I’ve just started to test the following two EAs.
Have you any answers for the following questions.
1) I’m testing Framework on GBPJPY on the 15 minute chart.
Do you need to copy the indicators onto the chart to ensure
the EA performs correctly. for example, does the CCI need
to be on the chart, and are there any indicators which need
to be on the Phoenix chart I am testing on GBPUSD.
2) Does the EA place trades based on the timeframe you are
using. For example I have framework running on the 15 minute
and when I switch the chart over to the 1 minute, it executes
multiple trades repeatedly, although now that I am running it on
the 15 minute it has executed 3 trades. Is this correct.
Thanks

1) No, you don’t have to add any indicators to the chart for the EAs to work properly they use all needed indicators internally.
2) Yes, most EAs trade based on the timeframe to which they are attached.

FrameWork,
Hi Andrei, I’m testing Framework on GBPJPY at the moment. It executes the trades very well and always has a good run or closes the positions quickly if the signals change. Where I see it can cause a problem though is with the code itv++ where it adds to the position during a trend. I had it running last night and today. It had an excellent entry, but added 20 lots to the position from the bottom of the trend before the move. Then at the top of the move it added another 20 positions which were all closed automatically when the market and CCI indicators turned. Do you know of any method by which you can change the settings to ensure that the position isn’t added to as the market trends and a selection of how many positions can be opened on the initial signals. I would like to try and stop it from opening positions when the trade has already initiated, and also stop it from opening positions 200 points into a move.
Thanks
Jeff

Dear Mr.Andrei,
I already try EA Adjustable_MA in demo account.
I have problem, why for 1 pairs, it’s open 2 position (long and short) at same time within 1 minutes?
and, what the meaning of “extern int Slippage = 3″ in Adjustable_MA script?
I use this EA for pairs of USD/CHF and EUR/JPY, they have spread 3 pips. Does it correlate with “extern int Slippage = 3″ that cause the problem?
Thanks for your help.

I really don’t know why it would open 2 positions in different directions for one pair… “extern int Slippage = 3″ is the input parameter for a price slippage. Value of 3 means that the buy/sell orders will be considered good even if they are executed at a price worse than the given by up to 3.

When you change the timeframe of the chart with an attached EA, the EA reloads to that new timeframe automatically. It’s not recommended to change the timeframe of a chart with an active EA if you don’t want to mess with its work. It’s better to open a new chart if you want to analyze it on different timeframes.

followed all instruction in downloading and installing Phoenix EA and it shows up in the EA drop down box. It is shaded though and will not drag and drop to the chart. The other EAs that came with metatrader 4 all work. How do I get it to work?

Hi, I’m trading in gold.
Need your help, how do i go about to have an EA where it can automatically calculate the value of the japenese candle stick upper and lower shadow and at the same time display the $value on top (upper shadow) or below (lower shadow). for example, when we set the value equal or more than $2, then if the upper shadow value is equal or more than $2 it will show it on top of the said candle, likewise when it happens in the case of a lower shadow. I have been trying this for sometime now but still could not get it. Really appreciate your help.

If your question is not about MetaTrader EA tutorial, please post it in the forums: MT4 Expert Advisors if it is an EA you want or MT4 Indicators if it is an indicator.

I really appreciate your EA’s. Firstly, i ve installed Adjustable MA for about two wks now, installed Fast and slow EMAs, did everytin and yet i didnt work. Wot am i doing wrong?I saw this message on expert: Time:2012:09:19 Message:Adjustable_MA EURUSD,5m: Initialized. Also, i installes Phoenix on my live a/c, it worked normally and the result was fine but but unfortunately during the news, it almost wiped out my account. Pls, how do i trade the news with your EA’s

I have no idea why Adjustable_MA isn’t trading for you. Make sure you allowed it to trade. You should also look for error messages after some time passes after attachment.
Regarding news releases and Phoenix EA, you might want to remove the EA before major news releases. It is not a perfect EA.

Hi,
To add to my previous questions, is it possible to add the necessary stop losses to the trades opened by the e.a. and do I have to manually close all opened trades? Again does the Metatrader application have to be “on” for the ea to execute or can I for example attach the ea to my charts then shutdown my pc and go to class?
Thanks

That depends on an EA. Some expert advisors have stop-loss and take-profit implemented, some close positions by their internal signals. Generally, if you trade using an expert advisor, you have to leave the PC always on. That’s why it is recommended to use VPS to trade using EAs.
