Your EA is Ready to Activate
Follow the steps below to install the Institutional Grid Master EA on your MT5 platform and start trading.
Download the EA file
Download the .ex5 file sent to you via Telegram. Save it somewhere easy to find.
Open MT5 File Manager
In MetaTrader 5, go to File → Open Data Folder. Navigate to MQL5 → Experts.
Shortcut: press Ctrl+Shift+D in MT5 to open the data folder directly.
Copy the EA file
Paste the downloaded .ex5 file into the Experts folder. Then restart MT5 or press F5 to refresh the Navigator panel.
Attach the EA to a chart
Open a XAUUSD chart (any timeframe). Drag the EA from the Navigator panel onto the chart, or double-click it.
Recommended timeframe: M15 or H1 for the grid strategy.
Enable AutoTrading
In the EA settings dialog, check 'Allow live trading'. Then click the AutoTrading button in the MT5 toolbar to enable it.
The EA will not place orders unless AutoTrading is enabled.
Verify the EA is running
A smiley face icon should appear in the top-right corner of the chart. Check the Experts tab at the bottom for any log messages.
