Installation guide

This takes you from the downloaded file to the EA running on a chart. The first time, give yourself about ten minutes. The same steps are in the installation guide PDF in your download.

Before you start

  • MetaTrader 5 on a Windows computer or a Windows VPS, downloaded from your broker's website.
  • A trading account with a broker that offers MetaTrader 5. Start with a demo account.
  • The Remix Ai file (.ex5) and the setup sheet from your download.

1. Download your file

After checkout, the download link is on your order confirmation page and in your email. Save the .ex5 file somewhere easy to find and don't rename it.

2. Open the MetaTrader 5 data folder

In MetaTrader 5, go to File → Open Data Folder. Open MQL5 → Experts and paste the file there.

3. Refresh the Navigator

Open the Navigator (View → Navigator or Ctrl+N), right-click Expert Advisors and choose Refresh. Remix Ai appears in the list. If it doesn't, restart MetaTrader 5.

4. Allow algorithmic trading

Go to Tools → Options → Expert Advisors, tick Allow algorithmic trading and click OK. You only do this once.

5. Put it on a chart

Open a chart with the symbol and timeframe from your setup sheet and drag the EA onto it. In the Common tab, tick Allow Algo Trading. In the Inputs tab, set your lot size, session hours and account limits.

6. Switch it on

Click the Algo Trading button in the toolbar so it turns green. Open the Toolbox (Ctrl+T) and check the Experts tab: Remix Ai logs when it loads and every entry, exit and limit check.

Common issues

  • Not in the Navigator: the file isn't in MQL5/Experts of the MetaTrader 5 you have open. Move it there and refresh.
  • On the chart but nothing happens: check the Algo Trading button, the Allow Algo Trading tick and the session hours. Often it's just waiting for its conditions.
  • "Invalid volume" or "not enough money": the lot size doesn't fit your broker's limits or your balance.
  • Stopped when the computer shut down: MetaTrader 5 must stay open. Use a VPS for 24/7 (see the VPS guide in your download).
  • Duplicate orders: the EA is on more than one chart, or running on the same account from two places. Keep it in one place.

Run it on a demo account first. Automated software can lose money, including everything in your account.
