  1. Step 1

    Open More

    In the panel, open “More”.

  2. Step 2

    Go to Copy Trade

    Under “Trading tools”, tap “Copy Trade”.

  3. Step 3

    Open your bot

    Under “My bots”, tap your bot.

  4. Step 4

    Accept the risk consent

    On the “Risk consent” card, tick “I have read and accept this.” and press “I accept”.

  5. Step 5

    Resume copying

    The card goes and “Resume copying” appears; press it. The badge turns “Not connected”.

  6. Step 6

    Create the connection

    In “MetaTrader connection”, press “Create MetaTrader connection”.

  7. Step 7

    Download the package

    “MetaTrader setup package” appears. Press “Download package” at once: the activation code is only inside that zip.

  8. Step 8

    Log into the bound account

    Open MetaTrader 5 on the account this bot is bound to.

  9. 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.

  10. Step 10

    Refresh the Navigator

    In Navigator, right-click Expert Advisors and choose Refresh.

  11. 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

  12. Step 12

    Attach it to a chart

    Drag the Sigrah agent from Navigator onto any chart.

  13. 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.

    Examplesigrah-copy-trade.set

  14. Step 14

    Tick Allow Algo Trading

    On the expert’s Common tab, tick Allow Algo Trading.

  15. 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”.

  16. Step 16

    Enable live trading

    It still trades nothing. In the agent’s inputs, set EnableLiveTrading to true.

    ExampleEnableLiveTrading = true

  17. Step 17

    Type the risk phrase

    Put exactly this phrase in LiveRiskConfirmation.

    ExampleI_ACCEPT_SIGRAH_COPY_TRADE_LIVE_RISK

  18. Step 18

    Allow the real account

    On a real account, also set AllowRealAccountTrading to true. A demo account does not need it.

    ExampleAllowRealAccountTrading = true

“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.
