So let me just drag a chart across so that you can see that. So you've probably got say two or three charts over here. I'm just going to resize them. So what you would need to do is you'd need to close these charts down by hitting the X button on the chart so that this area is totally gray.

So if you have another currency, let's say Aud was there, you can see Aud has appeared. Now if you don't want it there, you would just double click it until the this little block over here, the dollar icon disappears and then that currency will then disappear from the window. So I only want you to have Euro US dollar so make sure that it is highlighted and the the currency is displaying under in the market watch window.

Now if your expert advisors is not open, you can just click on the plus sign to open it. And then you'll see here that your, your robot will not be here. They'll probably only be Mac, CD and Moving Average will be there. So the reason that robot is not there is because I still need your terms and conditions documents. So you would need to go and find that in your email. So it's these two documents over here. What you would need to do is you need to print out these documents and then initial each page, sign and date the last page, and then scan and email both documents back to me. The other thing that I need is I need you to send me your sent account number. So in FPS you would need to, you would need to log into FPS and send me your sent account number which will be on your, on your dashboard.

Now what you would need to do is in the section over here, this section is probably still gray. So what we need to do is you need to add a chart to this window. And the only currency that we're trading is we are only trading EUR US dollar. So there's two ways of doing this. You can drag the bot into this area or you can right mouse click down and chew and choose a chart window. So I just like to drag the cross quicker. You can decide what you want to do there.

Right? So what you can do is you can double click on the on the bot and the bottle open and your bot will probably look like this when you open it. It'll look like that. So we need to resize it. So you need to click on the input section and then mouse over the blue line until your mouse turns into a horizontal line with the two arrows. And then left mouse click down and drag the bot so that you have an empty section over here.
So please pause the video go and.

So the next step that you want to do is you want to click on the load button and then you want to choose medium risk.
So please pause the video.
Go do that step now.
Once done, you can come back to.
This video and resume the video.
Now let me just go back to the load section and explain to you what is here. So there is low risk, medium risk and high risk. The medium risk is what the engineers have recommended that we use for an account of between 500 and $1,000. So let me show you what that looks like. That looks like a lot size of 0.5. So if your account is less than $500, I don't recommend that you trade on 0.5. I don't recommend that you trade period with it with the ea. Firstly because you won't make enough profit to pay for the ea, but on a less lot size. And if you do put it on 0.5 and your account is less than $500, you're putting your account under strain and you very possibly could blow your account and lose your capital. So please know the risks there.
The next thing that you need to.
Do is you need to check your equity stop is on true and the total amount of equity that you are risking is 50%. So the engineers have recommended that you risk at the most 50% of your equity. Now it's not often that that's going to happen. That only happens when there's like a political announcement, like a new prime minister or a new president is being announced. And in those circumstances, we highly recommend that you don't trade at all, rather switch off the ea, of which there's a There are videos in my Frequently Asked Questions section on how to disable your EA and stop the trading when they are political announcements. But you'll know about that on the telegram groups. I'll let you know about that. So let's continue with setting up the ea. So I recommend that put it on a lot on medium risk 0.5. Your equity stop is 50% and your equity, sorry, your equity stop is true and your equity risk is 50%.
So please pause the video go and.
Make sure that those settings are correct.
Once done, you can come back to.
This video and resume the video.
The next step is to double click.
In this field in the license key field so that your you can see your cursor. Now I have emailed you at this point in time a new email with your VPS settings and I've emailed you your license key, so let me show you what that looks like. Right? So in this mail over here, it says there that this is your license key. And what you need to do is you need to highlight your license key, make sure that there's no space after and no space before.
Your, your license key. Just copy it and then go back to the VPs and then paste it in this block over there. And then so please pause the video.
Go and do that step.
Now. Go and find your email, go and find your, your license key. Once you've got your license key, paste it in this field and then come.
Back to this video and resume the video.
Right?
So the next thing that you need.
To do is you need to click on the save button so that you save this preset so that if you do have to set up your EA again, you've got your settings already presave with your license key. So I've just called mine Allen 5050 which is my lot size and then the 50% which is my equity protect. And then I can just click on save. And if, if you do have a preset already there, then it'll ask you if you want to replace it. I'm just going to say yes, you probably don't have one, so you can just leave it like that. And then what you can do is you can just click on the OK button.
So please pause the video, please go.
And save your preset. Click on the OK button. Make sure that that screen disappears like my screen.
Once done, you can come back to.
This video and resume the video.
Right. So in the bottom right hand corner you can see your settings. You can see that the, the, the lot size that I've set is 50%. So this is to make sure that you did do it correctly. You can see a lot size is 50%, the equity protectors on 50 and the drawdown is 0.05. This is the amount of currency of, this is the amount of money of my equity that I have involved in trades at the moment. So what should have happened at the moment after you've clicked on the okay button and that last screen disappears and you've got this information on the screen is a trade should have opened. Okay, Please wait for that trade to open. If it hasn't opened, you just reset up the bot. Just rewind these, this video a little bit and follow the steps again exactly.
Okay?
And if you're, if the EA still hasn't opened a bot, wait about an hour, you can log out of your out of your VPs, which I'll show you how to in the next few minutes and then you can wait an hour and just log back into the VPs and make sure that a trade has opened. If a trade hasn't opened, please contact me on WhatsApp and and I'll just check your settings and see what the challenge is and we can go from there. Now I just want to tell you that the, the do's and don'ts of what, what you shouldn't be doing on MT4 at, at any stage, please, if your bot is running, please do not change the time frame over here. The time frame needs to be trading on 15 minutes. If you change the time frame to to one minute, your trades will open very quickly and you will be putting your account in jeopardy. And the bot is tested on a fit on a 15 minute time frame only. Okay? Any other time frame is not advisable and you will be interfering with the algorithm. So please let's stick to the engineer settings and the engineers recommendations and follow the first rule in Forex which is to protect capital at all costs.
The next thing that you need to.
Check for is to make sure that in the top right hand corner is a smiley face on the chart. This means that the bot is connected to your chart and your, your, your bot can open more trades when need be.
And the next thing that you need.
To check is that the auto trading is set to green and not red. If it is red, please make sure that you click it to green. It must be green all the time, unless of course you've disabled it and then obviously it'll be red. And then I've got another, I've got other videos on, in the Frequently Asked questions section OR below in section 4 there's other videos on how MT4 works and I recommend that you just go through those settings or those videos to further understand how MT4 works. So your bot is trading. That's fabulous. You're now about to make some passive income and now you can shut down your, your VPs. Now before you shut it down, make sure that you don't shut down the MT4 platform itself. The MT4 platform must remain open at all times. So don't hit the X over here. You need to. And don't hit the X over there. This X over here shuts down the MT4. So if you do close it, you just need to double click it once and make sure that MT4 is trading now on a Mac machine. To close the VPs, there is an X button over Here and on a Windows machine there's a blue bar here where it says your your VPS number and the the server ip. In the right hand corner there will be an X on the blue bar. That's the blue bar that you need to click. So make sure that you click the the X on the VPS and not the x on the MT4. The next thing to note is that you need to only have one window of the MT4 platform open. So how you know that is is is over here. If you mouse over this icon over here, it'll show you the windows that are open. If there's only one window open, it means that only one session of MT4 Trader is open. And that is correct. If you have two windows one under the other, you can see in the right hand corner there is an X and you can click the X On the one of the MT4 sessions that are open, only one session of MT4 must be open. Okay, so what you can do now is you can close off, you can close down the.
The VPS and continue with this video. So what I would do is I would log out of the VPS by clicking that X on a Mac again it's the top left hand X on, on your screen on a Windows machine that's the X on the blue bar next to your user number. So what I would do is I would log out and then log back in to see that MT4 is still trading. So go ahead and do that.
So please pause the video, go and do that step.
Now once done, you can come back.
To this video and resume the video.
Right? So as you can see, my MT4 is still open and running and, and everything is 100% accurate. So that's awesome. Right, now that your bot is trading, the next step is to go back to your training website and to please follow the rest of these videos over here.
Very important that you go through all my videos.
Set up MT4 on your phone, do a backtest, see the different settings that you can do with with your ea. But I don't recommend you change the settings until you've gone through these videos.

So you're to going profits in the first five to seven days is going to be fairly low. So don't worry about it. The bot needs to learn the algorithm, learn the currency, understand what the currency is doing and once it does that then your profits will start increasing and you'll start making some passive income.
