MT5 Setup
Enable Algo Trading safely
Check the platform permission needed for an Expert Advisor to place trades.
Platform settings
Follow these steps
- In MT5, locate the Algo Trading control in the toolbar and enable it if you intend to let the EA trade.
- Open Tools → Options → Expert Advisors and review the permissions required by the product instructions.
- Only enable permissions that are needed and that you understand. Never enable DLL or other advanced permissions simply because a generic guide says to.
- Check the EA's chart icon and the Experts and Journal tabs for permission or connection messages.
