How to install and update an Expert Advisor, indicator, script from the mql5.com market

Regardless of which terminal you use (MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5), the process of installing or updating the application begins with authorization in the terminal. Specify your account details in the mql5.com market, in the MetaTrader terminal. To do this, click on the icon in the top right corner of the terminal.

You need to specify your login in the first field and your account password in the second field.  Authorization in the services allows you to receive text messages about updates for the programs that you have purchased.

The largest number of problems and errors for users of MetaTrader terminals is due to the fact that users irresponsibly store credentials from the mql5.com market and re-create them. All purchased applications are linked to an account. You cannot download or update the application using a different account.

After successful authorization in mql5.com services, you can go to install or update applications.

How to install and update an Expert Advisor, indicator, script from trading-go.ru

Installing applications from  trading-go.ru  is different from installing them from the market and is done manually. The installation principle looks the same for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.

IMPORTANT! The applications from  trading-go.ru are different from applications from the mql5.com market only in the intellectual property protection system (License and activation method). Trading strategies, algorithms, codes, settings are exactly the same in applications from the mql5.com market and on  trading-go.ru.

1. Open the terminal where you want to install.
2. Click «File».
3. Click «Open Data Directory» – and the file browser will open.
4. Open the MQL folder.

All applications on trading-go.ru are in standard archives (.zip). The archive must be unpacked before copying programs to folders. Working with archives is as simple as working with folders in Windows. 

1. Copy the Expert Advisor file to the Experts folder.
2. Copy the indicator file to the Indicators folder.
3. Copy the script file to the Scripts folder. 

After installing the application, restart the MetaTrader terminal and the program will appear in the «Navigator» section:   Expert Advisors – in the  Expert Advisors folder, indicators – in the  Indicators folder, scripts – in the  Scripts folder. 

The principle of updating programs downloaded from  trading-go.ru: 

Each program checks for an update no more than once every 15 days. If an update is available for the program, you will see a button on the chart in the MetaTrader terminal, which, when clicked, will open the program page on   trading-go.ru. We recommend that you monitor the release of new updates and programs in the Telegram channel  https://t.me/trading_go_news  and in the group  https://t.me/tradinggoea. 

For the program downloaded from trading-go.ru to work, the «Allow calling DLL libraries» option must be enabled in the terminal settings. In the MetaTrader terminal settings, in the  «Expert Advisors» tab, check the boxes as shown in the figure below:

Recommendations and FAQs

For applications purchased from the mql5.com market. Make copies of applications in a separate directory to have access to older versions of programs. If you reinstall the operating system or move to a new computer, your older versions of applications will not work. Each version of the application, when downloaded to the user's computer, is bound to the configuration of the computer and the operating system. Therefore, if you change the operating system, you will only be able to use the latest version of the application – all previous versions will not work.

Question: – There are no purchased programs in my account.

Answer: – You need to check the application purchase emails. Pay attention to the credentials specified in the emails. We have noticed that in 99 cases out of 100, purchased apps are not displayed only because they were purchased with other accounts.
