Frequently Asked Questions
The pair names that I want to add on the dashboard have a suffix (Example, EURUSD.m), how
can I implement this?
Example #1: You want to add pairs with the same suffix on the dashboard. Example: EURUSD.m,
USDCAD.m, XAUUSD.m NAS100USD.m, and GBPUSD.m (all pairs have same suffix of .m)
You will need to enter the suffix on the “Symbol Suffix” input setting. For example, if your brokers
symbol for “EURUSD” is “EURUSD.m”, then you will need to enter “.m” on this input.
If you are adding any inputs on “Additional Pairs List” or “Custom Pairs List”, then you need to input the
pair names without suffix and enter the suffix on the “Symbol Suffix” setting.
Example #2: You want to add pairs with 2 or more different suffixes on the same dashboard. Example:
EURUSD.m and XAUUSD.pro (.m and .pro suffix are different)
You will need to switch the “Currency Preset” to “Custom Pairs List” and manually type the pair names
including the suffix on the “Custom Pairs List” input setting. You cannot input the suffixes on the
“Symbol Suffix” because you are adding pairs with 2 or more different suffixes.
Example #3: You want to add pairs with a suffix AND pairs without suffix on the same dashboard.
Example, EURUSD.m and GBPJPY (EURUSD has suffix and GBPJPY does not have suffix)
You will need to switch the “Currency Preset” to “Custom Pairs List” and manually type the pair names
including any suffix on the “Custom Pairs List” input setting. You cannot input the suffix on the “Symbol
Suffix” all pairs will use this setting to append the suffix on every pair names.

How can I customize the pairs shown on the trading dashboard?
You can go to the input settings of the EA and select your “Currency Pairs Preset” setting. The default is
set to 7 Major Pairs but you are able to change this. You can also add non-FX pairs such as Indices,
Commodities, and Crypto in addition to the currency pre-set by adding the pair names on the setting
“Additional Pairs”. Please refer to this section more info.
If you do not want to use currency presets, then you can switch the Currency Pairs Preset setting to
“Custom Pairs List”. Then input all the pairs you want to show on the dashboard on the setting “Custom
Pairs List”.

I turned ON Auto-Trade on the dashboard but its not opening any trade. What should I do?
First, please make sure that “Allow live trading” on the Common tab is checked.
Second, please double check the “Experts” tab on the Terminal window of MT4 to make sure there are
no error messages that is preventing the EA from opening trades. If you see any errors, please message
us at [email protected]
Third, please check the Auto-Trade Filters on the input settings of the EA as it could be that the enabled
filters are too restrictive and it may be preventing the EA from opening trades. E.g., If you enable
success rate analysis and you set the success rate percentage to 90, it means that the EA will only open
trades when the success rate is above 90%. This will make the EA reject any trade signals with less than
90%-win rate, so as a result, you will get less trading volume.
Fourth, check the “Max Spread” and “Max Slippage” setting on the Auto-Trade Management dashboard
and make sure to give enough room for the pair you want to auto-trade.
Fifth, check the lot size that you have set on the Auto-Trade Management dashboard to make sure it can
open the trade with the available free margin that you have on your account.
Also, be aware of the timeframes in which the EA is auto-trading. E.g., If you set the EA to auto-trade on
H1 and H4 timeframes, then it will take more time for the EA to open trades since it is trading on higher
timeframes, so you will need to be more patient in this regard. The EA also will not auto-trade if there is
already an opened trade for that particular pair.
I am getting errors on the “Experts” tab when the EA is running. What does it mean?

If this is affecting your useability of the trading system, then please take a screenshot of the error
message and send it to our team at [email protected]. We will look into the error and provide the
necessary fixes as part of our updates.
Why is the trend scanner showing greyed out boxes without any numbers on it?
It means there is not enough history data yet on that particular pair and timeframe to properly calculate
its win rate. You just need to wait a bit until there is enough data for proper calculation. If its still
showing greyed boxes after a while, then you can manually download history data for that particular
pair by going to Tools -> History Center.
I tried to create a custom strategy (no code) but its not showing anything on the chart or on
the trend scanner. What should I do?
It’s most likely that the strategy is too restrictive or that it has too many conditions to follow which
ultimately, does not generate any signals. Double check to make sure the strategy is set correctly. You
can test by using a simpler strategy and see if that generate trading signals.

How do I change the take profit, stop loss, and/or lot size for auto-trades?
There are three ways in which you can change the TP, SL and lot size for auto-trades.
First, you can click the ON/OFF button under Auto Trade column to open the Auto-Trade Management
which allows you to individually change the TP, SL, and/or lot size for the pair you have selected. Please
note that by doing this option, then each pair will have its own unique values for TP, SL and lot size.

Second, if you wish to have the same values for TP, SL, and lot size for all pairs on the dashboard, then
you can change these settings under “Auto-Trade Management (Default Values)” section on the input
settings of the EA and then set the “Apply Same Settings to All Pairs” to true. It will apply the auto-trade
settings on the inputs tab for all pairs. Please note that by setting this setting to true, then individually
changing the auto-trade settings on the Auto-Trade Management will be disabled except for Automatic
Trade Recovery.
Third, if you also wish to have the same values for TP, SL, and lot size, but you also prefer to have an
option to individually change the auto-trade settings on a few pairs, then you can use the Shared Auto-
Trade Settings dashboard by clicking the button under the Auto-Trade column/above the Adaptive
Machine Learning button. This will change the values of TP, SL, and lot size for all pairs on the dashboard
based on the settings you made on the input settings of the EA. You can click “Apply Settings” to apply
the changes to all pairs on the dashboard.

How do I change the settings for Trailing Stop, Breakeven SL, and/or Partial Close?

pair. Please note that by doing this option, then each pair will have its own unique values for tailing stop,
breakeven SL, and partial close.

true. It will apply the same settings on the inputs tab for all pairs. Please note that by setting this setting
