Install the EA

MyTradr uses a single unified Expert Advisor — Mytradr.mq5 — for all MT5 operations. The EA’s behavior is controlled by a Role input parameter.

Download

Download the compiled EA file (Mytradr.ex5) from your MyTradr dashboard after logging in.

Install

Copy Mytradr.ex5 to your MT5 data folder:

[MT5 Data Folder]\MQL5\Experts\Mytradr\Mytradr.ex5

To find your MT5 data folder: open MetaTrader 5 → File → Open Data Folder.

Enable WebRequests

The EA communicates with the MyTradr server over HTTP. You must allow this in MT5:

1. Open MetaTrader 5
2. Go to Tools → Options → Expert Advisors
3. Check Allow WebRequest for listed URL
4. Add the MyTradr server URL
5. Click OK

Attach to Chart

1. In MT5, open the Navigator panel (Ctrl+N)
2. Expand Expert Advisors → Mytradr
3. Drag Mytradr onto any chart
4. In the Inputs tab, set the Role:
   • MASTER — Monitors and broadcasts position events
   • SLAVE — Polls and executes signals from master
   • MASTER_EXPORT — Exports deal history to the trade journal
5. Configure the server URL and API key inputs
6. Click OK

The EA only needs one chart per terminal — it monitors all symbols regardless of which chart it’s attached to.

Verify

Check the Experts tab at the bottom of MT5. You should see initialization messages confirming:

• Successful config fetch from the server
• Role assignment
• Connection established

Then check the Monitor tab on the MyTradr dashboard — your account should show as connected with a green status indicator.
