If you have a brokerage account that provides Meta Trader 4 platform, then you
can skip this step and you are ready to get started on installation.
If not…
These are just suggestions you are free to use whichever brokers you prefer.
If you need a VPS, which is a service that allows you to run the Meta Trader 4
platform on their systems go to: http://www.forexvps.com/?a_aid=c581d0f9
Once you have installed and setup your Meta Trader 4 platform from your broker
you will then have to install Forex Overdrive.
1) Run the installer for Forex Overdrive. When installing make sure it extracts
to the folder of your Meta Trader platform.
2) Open Meta Trader once installation is complete.
3) In the Navigator window on the left middle of your screen in the box there
will be an Expert Advisors tab. Click the plus sign to expand the tab if it is
not expanded already. Locate Forex Overdrive in the list. Also make sure
the Expert Advisors button is green and pressed in.
4) Next, you will need to open the charts we will be using with Forex
Overdrive. Select File on the top left, then click New Charts. Select
EURUSD, a chart will pop up on your screen. Choose M5 timeframe on the
top.
5) From the Navigator window on the left, click Forex Overdrive and drag it on
to the EURUSD chart. A window should then pop up. Make sure the
following is checked and selected:
To adjust settings click Input. Each individual setting will be explained further
down. This can also be done by right clicking the chart, left clicking Expert
Advisors, then left clicking Properties (after you have completed this process).
Check to make sure you have a smiley face on the top right corner of all the
charts. Also make sure you have no errors in the experts tab and journals tab
on the bottom. It is typically best to run this robot alone as sometimes other
robots can interfere.
When you attach Forex Overdrive to the chart and click Input you are able to edit
multiple settings. Typically we recommend default settings, but here is an
explanation of each setting for your convenience.
Magic Number – This number is random and helps the robot identify trades, we
recommend changing it for each currency pair, but it is not urgent.
Trade On Friday – This gives you the option to turn off trading on Friday. Forex
Overdrive will not open any new trades during Friday, but will continue to allow
trades to operate from the previous day. Some believe it is best to not trade
Friday in order to reduce risk of a trade remaining open over the weekend, which
can result in a reversal of a trade. Forex Overdrive has had plenty of great trades
on Friday and through to the next week, but please decide at your discretion.
Take Profit – The number of pips the robot will close a trade out with while in
profit. Feel free to increase this number as profits are continually locked in.
Stop Loss – If a trade goes in the wrong direction this is the number of pips at
which the trade will be closed. Forex Overdrive has a high winning rate and thus
rarely hits the stop loss.
Slippage – If Forex Overdrive decides to open a trade it will only open the trade if
the data is still within this pip range.
Trailing Trigger – The stop loss will be changed to this number after profit of this
number has been reached.
Trailing Pips – The stop loss will be adjusted at intervals of this number after the
trailing trigger is achieved.
