copy trade
Install the Sigrah agent in MetaTrader 5 and let it trade
Connect your copy-trade bot to MetaTrader 5, then switch on real trading.
- Step 1
Open More
In the panel, open “More”.
- Step 2
Go to Copy Trade
Under “Trading tools”, tap “Copy Trade”.
- Step 3
Open your bot
Under “My bots”, tap your bot.
- Step 4
Accept the risk consent
On the “Risk consent” card, tick “I have read and accept this.” and press “I accept”.
- Step 5
Resume copying
The card goes and “Resume copying” appears; press it. The badge turns “Not connected”.
- Step 6
Create the connection
In “MetaTrader connection”, press “Create MetaTrader connection”.
- Step 7
Download the package
“MetaTrader setup package” appears. Press “Download package” at once: the activation code is only inside that zip.
- Step 8
Log into the bound account
Open MetaTrader 5 on the account this bot is bound to.
- Step 9
Copy in the agent file
File > Open Data Folder > MQL5 > Experts: make a Sigrah folder and put the package’s .ex5 in it.
- Step 10
Refresh the Navigator
In Navigator, right-click Expert Advisors and choose Refresh.
- Step 11
Allow WebRequest
Tools > Options > Expert Advisors: tick “Allow WebRequest for listed URL” and add the address printed in the package README.
ExampleREADME-EN.md
- Step 12
Attach it to a chart
Drag the Sigrah agent from Navigator onto any chart.
- Step 13
Load the settings file
On the Inputs tab press Load and pick the package’s settings file; your activation code is already inside it.

- Step 14
Tick Allow Algo Trading
On the expert’s Common tab, tick Allow Algo Trading.
- Step 15
Switch on Algo Trading
Turn on the Algo Trading button in the MetaTrader toolbar too; the agent needs both. After the first contact, “MetaTrader connection” reads “Connected”.
- Step 16
Enable live trading
It still trades nothing. In the agent’s inputs, set EnableLiveTrading to true.
Example
EnableLiveTrading = true - Step 17
Type the risk phrase
Put exactly this phrase in LiveRiskConfirmation.
Example
I_ACCEPT_SIGRAH_COPY_TRADE_LIVE_RISK - Step 18
Allow the real account
On a real account, also set AllowRealAccountTrading to true. A demo account does not need it.
Example
AllowRealAccountTrading = true
Result
“MetaTrader connection” reads “Connected” and the bot executes the provider’s signals on that account. It keeps doing that for as long as MetaTrader stays open with Algo Trading on.
