on your computer.

selectcopy.
4. Click open My Computer and then click open C Drive, or what ever letter drive
that contains your program files,then click open the Program Files folder.

name of your forex broker.

ForexCOMBOSystem_vXXX.ex4 file in this folder. You can paste by selecting paste
from your edit menu or right mouse click and select paste. Repeat the same
procedure for the FCSXXX.dll file, but you should paste it in MetaTrader4 \

located in your MetaTrader4 folder.

pair (EUR/USD or/and GBP/USD) by going to File on the Menu bar and choosing
New Chart. Then choose the time frameby going to Charts on the menu bar, then
Periodicity and then choose the time frame you wish to view (M5).

FOREX COMBO SYSTEM is designed to work on currency pairs

EUR/USD and GBP/USD (M5 chart)!
DO NOT USE FOREX COMBO SYSTEM ON OTHER CURRENCY PAIRS!
FOREX COMBO SYSTEM has proven to be effective and profitable for more than two years on the
EURUSD currency pair. The current live results for GBPUSD are still not convincing, compared to those
of the EURUSD. Therefore, we do not recommend using the robot on GBPUSD on a real account. You
can do it at your own discretion.

9. Now you are ready to place the FOREX COMBO SYSTEM on the chart. Go to
View on the Menu bar and choose Navigator.The Navigator window will appear. In the
Navigator window expand Expert Advisors or Indicators by double clicking it. You
should now see all the Expert Advisors including the one you just inserted. You can
now place it on the chart by 3 different methods. You can either double click on the
indicator or right mouse click on it and choose Attach to a Chart or you can drag it
onto the chart.

10. Once the Expert Advisor is placed on the chart, the Settings window will pop
up. Here you can view the default settings and adjust them if you need to. Make
sure on the Common tab you have the Allow live trading box checked.

11. After you have placed the Expert Advisor on the chart,in the upper right hand
corner of your chart you should see a smiley face. This means the Expert Advisor
is running. If you do not have a smiley face but see a frown or anx, then make sure
again that under Properties, the Allow Live Trading box is checked. If it is and still
you do not have a smiley face there is one more place to check. Go to Tools on the

menu bar and choose Options. A popupwill appear and select the Expert Advisors
Tab. Make sure the Enable Expert Advisors box and Allow LiveTrading box are
both checked. Your Expert Advisor is now ready to open, modify and close trades.

GMT Offset is very important parameter!!! - GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) offset of brokers server
time.

AutoGMT_Offset:
If AutoGMT_Offset = TRUE, the EA will calculate automatically the GMT Offset of
your broker.
If AutoGMT_Offset = FALSE, in this case you should chose by yourself the correct
GMT Offset in ManualGMT_Offset field.
ManualGMT_Offset In this field, you should chose the correct GMT Offset of your
broker by yourself, if AutoGMT_Offset=false, or if you want to make a backtest.
If you fail to set the GMT offset carefully you can get incorrect backtest results.

Ask your broker about their GMT Offset if you are not sure, or ask us.
Calculate_DST:
Calculate_DST=TRUE, when your broker changes its GMT offset during the summer
and winter (usually with +1 at the end of March and change it back to normal at the
end of October).
Calculate_DST=FALSE, when your broker has a permanent GMT Offset all the time
during the year.
INFO: DST - Daylight Saving Time often referred to as "Summer Time", "DST" or "Daylight Savings
Time" is a way of making better use of the daylight in the evenings by setting the clocks forward one
hour during the longer days of summer, and back again in the fall.

NOTE: If your Market Watch is frozen it is likely that the broker is closed for the
weekend and therefore the time displayed is not valid for calculating the GMT offset.
You should wait until your broker is open to set the proper GMT offset value. You
should also keep an eye on any possible switch from summer to wintertime which
occurs twice a year. Some brokers switch the time so you should adjust your GMT
offset again on these days.

WHAT YOU MUST HAVE IN MIND WHEN TRADING

transactions opened and managed by FOREX COMBO SYSTEM. Each transaction
is complete with StopLoss and TakeProfit orders which have supplementary
protective functions in case of any communications breakdowns or power outages.
- Problem-free FOREX COMBO SYSTEM performance requires that the computer,
the platforms (MetaTrader4) on which the expert runs and the expert itself runs, to
work around the clock five days a week from market opening on Mondays to market
close on Fridays. The most stable internet connection possible is required, and it is
also recommended that the computer used is protected against power spikes and
outages.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO, WHEN

FOREX COMBO SYSTEM IS STARTED

The only thing you should do after starting the EA is to select a value for the
"LotsSys1 (2,3,4)" or TradeMMSys1(2,3,4) parameter. If you wish, you can try
FOREX COMBO SYSTEM on a demo account, or you can trade with less significant
volumes at first.
We recommend you to select trading volumes in which five or six consecutive losses
of 60-70 pips (StopLoss) should not represent a problem for your account.

check if your broker is compatible with your current Expert Advisor!

MANAGEMENT, YOU WILL FIND THIS INFORMATION USEFUL
Case 1: If you set a parameter of TradeMMSys1(2,3,4)=0, the EA will trade with
volume = parameter Lots (defaults Lots=0.1)

Risk Disclosure:
You should be aware that trading Foreign Exchange carries a high level of risk, and you can lose some or all of your investment.
The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in forex trading, can work against you as well as for you. The use of
leverage can lead to large losses as well as large gains. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order
to invest in the futures and options markets. Don't trade with money you can't afford to lose.
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is
likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical
performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of
hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical
trading does not involve financial risk. Variables such as the ability to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading
losses as well as maintaining adequate liquidity are material points which can adversely affect actual real trading results.
By using FOREX COMBO SYSTEM, you acknowledge that you are familiar with these risks and that you are solely responsible
for the outcomes of your decisions. We accept no liability whatsoever for any direct or consequential loss arising from the use of
this product. It's to be noted carefully in this respect, that past results are not necessarily indicative of future performance.
