Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install and run FlexGridPro on your MetaTrader 5 terminal.

1. Install the Required Files

FlexGridPro requires both the compiled EA file and a system DLL file to communicate with the license server.

Open MetaTrader 5.
Click File → Open Data Folder. A file explorer window will open.
Open the MQL5 folder.
Install the EA: Open the Experts folder. Copy the downloaded FlexGridPro.ex5 file and paste it here.
Install the DLL: Go back to the MQL5 folder, and open the Libraries folder. Copy your downloaded DLL file (e.g., SafetyScore.dll) and paste it into this Libraries folder.
In MetaTrader 5, open the Navigator panel (press Ctrl+N if it's not visible).
Right-click on Expert Advisors in the Navigator panel and click Refresh. FlexGridPro should now appear in the list.

Open the chart of the symbol you want to trade (e.g., XAUUSD on the M5 timeframe).
From the Navigator panel, drag FlexGridPro and drop it onto the chart.
In the EA properties dialog box that appears:
- Go to the Common tab.
- Check the Allow Algo Trading box.
- Check the "Allow DLL imports" box (This is required for the license to verify!).
- Go to the Inputs tab to adjust your parameters. (If you have a license key, enter it in the License section).
Click OK to close the dialog.

Make sure the Algo Trading button at the top toolbar of MetaTrader 5 is pressed and shows a green icon.
Check the top right corner of your chart. If FlexGridPro has a blue hat icon next to its name, it is successfully installed and ready to trade.

Before running on a live account, we highly recommend testing the EA on a demo account or in the Strategy Tester:

In MT5, go to View → Strategy Tester (or press Ctrl+R).
Select FlexGridPro from the Expert dropdown.
Choose your desired symbol, timeframe, and a date range.
For Modeling, choose "Every tick based on real ticks" for the most accurate results.
Click Start to run the test.
