Product Installation Files

Each download includes install instructions. Follow them for your specific product.
Back up your templates, presets, and config files before updating to a new version.

MetaTrader 5 MT5

Install Indicators / EAs / Utilities

In MT5: File → Open Data Folder
Copy files into the correct subfolder:
- MQL5/Indicators — Indicators
- MQL5/Experts — Expert Advisors
- MQL5/Scripts or Experts — Utilities (check product instructions)
Restart MT5 or right-click Navigator → Refresh to compile.
Drag the EA or indicator from Navigator onto your chart.

If an EA fails to load, check the bottom Experts tab for compile or dependency errors.

Enable Algo Trading & DLL

The Algo Trading toolbar button must be green.
The chart's smiley face must be 🙂 (active). A sad face means trading is disabled on that chart.
If required by your product: Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → enable algorithmic trading and DLL imports.

Data, Timeframes & Testing

Open Symbols → Properties and load all historical data for required timeframes before backtesting.
Backtest via Strategy Tester using fixed spread or real tick data depending on your broker.
Most tools use NY session logic — verify your broker's server time matches expected session windows.
If indicators render wrong during backtest, try switching to Open Prices Only or Every Tick Based on Real Ticks.

Common "No Trade" Causes

Algo trading disabled globally or for the specific EA.
Symbol suffix mismatch — e.g. broker uses XAUUSD.x or NQ100m but EA is not configured for it.
Timeframe or symbol doesn't meet strategy requirements.
Session filters (London/NY) outside allowed hours.
RSI / MA / BB conditions currently blocking entries.
Lot size violates broker minimum or maximum limits.

"Not enough money" "Trade is disabled" "Invalid volume"

NinjaTrader 8 NT8

Install Custom Indicators & Strategies

Tools → Import → NinjaScript Add-On
Select the original downloaded ZIP — do NOT unzip first.
If NT8 detects conflicts, remove older versions: Tools → Remove NinjaScript Assembly.
Restart NT8 after import if prompted.
Apply tools: right-click chart → Indicators or → Strategies → Enable = True

If NT8 shows a yellow triangle, open the Output window to see compile or reference errors.

Data & Session Templates

Select the correct Trading Hours template for your instrument (e.g. CME US Index Futures RTH / ETH).
Reload historical data: right-click chart → Reload All Historical Data.
Confirm correct symbol mapping (e.g. NQ 03-25, 06-25) — expired contracts cause data gaps.
NT8 historical fills differ from real-time fills; signals may appear different in backtest vs live.

Typical "No Entry" Causes

Strategy not enabled — Enable = True must be set.
Account not selected or running Simulation when live is intended.
Trading Hours template blocking entries during off-session periods.
RSI, MA, or BB filters not aligned for a valid entry.
Conflicting strategies running on the same instrument.

"Error on calling…" "Order rejected…" "Instrument not enabled"

Export Diagnostics for Support

Screenshot your chart and strategy parameters window.
Copy Log entries (especially red text) from the Output window.
Confirm your Trading Hours template and instrument contract (active month).
Note your NT8 version — outdated builds cause incompatibility issues.

Common Inputs & How They Work

Core Filters

RSI (Temperature Model): Hot above 70, cold below 30, stable near 50. Indicates emotional phases and pressure shifts.
20 / 50 / 200 SMAs (Triad Structure): 20 = immediate reaction, 50 = balance line, 200 = long-term gravity.
10 EMA (Volume Flow): Tracks immediate momentum and order flow. Above = bullish pressure. Below = bearish pressure.
Bollinger Bands: 2-dev bands on the 50 MA highlight volatility expansions, squeezes, and emotional extremes.

Risk & Timing

ATR Period + Multiplier define stop and target distance based on the current volatility regime.
Session filters prevent entries during low-liquidity periods (pre-Asia, post-NY close).
Daily Stops, Break-Even triggers, and Trailing Stop logic manage risk on volatile days.

Execution Logic

Look for reversion after price pierces outer BBs and RSI returns from overbought/oversold.
Avoid outer-band "rides" where RSI stays extreme — these are gambler-driven trends.
Favor entries where MA slope, RSI shift, and structure reclaim all agree.

Presets & Saving

MT5: Inputs → Save to store presets per symbol and session.
NT8: Use Templates for quick reloading across charts and workspaces.
