Questions about MetaTrader
Client Terminal MetaTrader is an essential part of the online trading system, installed on the trader's computer, and designed to:
- Receive quotes and news in real-time;
- Perform trade operations;
- Control and manage open positions and pending orders;
- Conduct technical analysis;
- Develop expert advisors, custom indicators, scripts, and functions in MetaQuotes Language (MQL);

Access to reliable, real-time information is crucial for making trading decisions. Through the terminal, traders receive quotes and news, enabling market analysis using various technical indicators and tools.

Questions about trading expert advisor
Visit our Downloads section to explore and start using our tools.
Additionally, you can use the demo version of the program on your real account but limited to the USDJPY currency pair.
Only after this step will the advisor be able to execute trades.
If you are using one of my advisors, the EAPADPRO control panel provides detailed information about the advisor's trading status. You can find out why the advisor might not be trading by checking the panel.
For more information, visit our guide on the Reasons for the failure of the advisor to work.
If the advisor is active (smiling) but still not trading, here are some common reasons:
- The necessary signal for opening a position hasn't arrived yet. The advisor requires more time to receive the appropriate signal.
- The advisor is trying to open a trade but is encountering server errors. You can investigate these errors by opening the advisor’s journal and looking for messages marked with a red circle. For solutions to common errors, read our guide on Possible reasons why the advisor receives an error and solutions.
Common search terms for this issue:

We strive to make the instructions as thorough and user-friendly as possible.
Recently, we have added comprehensive instructions to nearly all of our Expert Advisors.
In the BLOG Articles – Our Advisors section, you will find detailed instructions for each advisor. This includes descriptions of parameters, examples of use, and video guides to assist you in setting up and using our Expert Advisors.
This question is commonly searched for using the following terms:
- Advisor’s instruction

- How to set up an advisor
- Expert Advisor input parameters
- Extern input
A value of -1 means that the advisor monitors all positions across all magic numbers (MagicNumber).
My advisor, however, only monitors the currency pair (Symbol) where it is installed.
For example, if the advisor is set to monitor EURUSD with MagicNumber = -1, it will track all positions on the EURUSD currency pair (Symbol).
If you change the MagicNumber, new positions will be opened with the new magic number, and the advisor will only monitor positions assigned to that specific magic number (MagicNumber).
Changing magic numbers (MagicNumber) on different symbols (Symbol) does not serve any purpose since the advisor only monitors the currency pair (Symbol) on which it is installed.
If you want the advisor to operate in different directions, you can indeed specify different magic numbers (MagicNumber).
- First chart EURUSD ONLY BUY> Magic (MagicNumber) = 1
- Second chart EURUSD ONLY SELL> Magic (MagicNumber) = 2
- Third chart EURCHF ONLY BUY> Magic (MagicNumber) = 1
- Fourth chart EURCHF ONLY SELL> Magic (MagicNumber) = 2
- Fifth chart GBPUSD ALL> Magic (MagicNumber) = -1
- For brokers using 5-digit or 3-digit pricing, 1 point = 0.00001 or 0.001.
If you set the parameter to 155:
- It will equal 155 points or 0.00155 (if the currency pair has 5 digits).
- It will equal 0.155 (if the currency pair has 3 digits).
- For brokers using 4-digit or 2-digit pricing, 1 point = 0.0001 or 0.01.
Respectively, if you set the parameter to 155:
- It will equal 155 points or 0.0155 (if the currency pair has 4 digits).
- It will equal 1.55 (if the currency pair has 2 digits).
Remember: you set the number of points/pips/millipoints/points that you require.
Enter the value that matches your broker's requirements.
There is often debate about what constitutes a point or a pip.
We use universal values, where Point = Pips.
These values match those issued by your broker.
All parameters in any of our expert advisors are calculated based on the value provided by your broker's server in the Point variable.
Point()
Returns the size of the current instrument in the quote currency.
double Point();
Return value
The value of the _Point variable, which stores the size of the current instrument in the quote currency.
You have specified a take profit/stop loss/trailing stop level that is less than what is allowed on your broker's server!
The Expert Advisor automatically calculates the minimum stop order level (StopLevel) and adjusts the take profit/stop loss/trailing stop to meet the broker's requirements as outlined in the contract specification.
If your account operates with a floating spread, the minimum stop loss and take profit levels change with every price update (tick).
Ensure that the take profit value you set is higher than the minimum allowed stop order level (StopLevel) on your broker's server.
If preferred, you can disable the automatic StopLevel detection feature.
The system can automatically normalize all parameters of the Expert Advisor to align with the minimum allowable stop levels.
This parameter does not affect virtual stops.
When AutoSetMinLevel is enabled, stop levels are automatically adjusted to the lowest permissible levels allowed by the server.
If the Stop Loss or Take Profit level is below the minimum stop level on the server, the new Stop Loss/Take Profit level will be calculated as the Minimum Stop Level (Spread*2 or the fixed level set by the server) + Spread.
If you opt for ManualSet, the user will receive a message indicating that the EA stop levels are below the minimum, and the EA will encounter an error from the server.
If the stop level on the server is floating, the automatically calculated minimum stop level will be set as Spread*2.
Questions about purchasing trading advisors and licenses
For a step-by-step guide on how to purchase, install, and update an Expert Advisor (EA) in the MetaTrader terminal, be sure to check out our detailed article: "How to buy an Expert Advisor and install it in the terminal, How to update an Expert Advisor?". This resource provides all the information you need to efficiently acquire, manage, and keep your Expert Advisors up-to-date, ensuring smooth and effective trading on the MetaTrader platform.

However, it's important to note that each instance of the trading terminal consumes CPU power and RAM. Additionally, each terminal downloads trading history and utilizes internet bandwidth.
The more terminals you have running simultaneously, the slower the speed of receiving new quotes may become, which can impact performance.
Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a significant level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Always exercise caution and ensure you fully understand the risks involved.
This flexibility ensures that you can install the Expert Advisor on your home computer, laptop, work computer, or VPS.
Please note that if your computer undergoes hardware changes, such as modifications to the HDD, SSD, processor, or even a Windows update, the activation may be lost.
However, with 10 licenses (activations), you will have ample room to use the advisor across different devices.
By attempting to resell our program, you are in violation of the rules of the mql community and the policies of expforex.com.

which is why discounts are not provided.
