The MetaTrader4 (MT4) trading platform
https://www.fxautomater.com/broker
Our forex robot – Intelly Trader EA – is compatible any forex broker and you are
not obligated to open account exactly in our recommended broker. This is
personal decision and choice!
9
Installing MetaTrader 4
If you’re familiar with MT4 and already have a broker account, just take a quick
look through this section to refresh your memory.
After installation, you’ll be asked to create a trading account. The program will
ask you to select a trade server to connect to. Select the server you want and
click Next. In our example we select Alpari-ECN-Demo server. Other brokers
may have different trading servers with different names.
Once again, it is good to mention that you can use the installer of your chosen
broker, so this does not require you to install exactly our example broker.
10
The program will ask you to choose the type of your account. In our example
we choose to open a demo account. Click Next to continue with opening an
account. Fill the form with your personal details and select an amount to
deposit. Check "Agree to subscribe to your newsletters" and then click Next. In
the next window, click Finish.
11
Your demo account is now open. Close the MT4 terminal so that you can install
Intelly Trader EA.
12
Installing Intelly Trader EA
There are two ways to install Intelly Trader EA: automatic and manual.
Double click over the installer to start installation of Intelly Trader EA. During
installation, select the installation folder of your MetaTrader4 terminal. This
folder usually has the name of your broker and is located in C:\Program Files
(x86)
13
The Installer will automatically detect all MT4/MT5 installations on your
computer. You only need to select the MT4/MT5 installation where you want
to install Intelly Trader EA. You can select multiple MT4/MT5 installations.
If you did not close your MT4/MT5 terminal before installing Intelly Trader EA,
you will need to restart it now.
After successful installation you will find Intelly Trader EA on your Expert
Advisors List in the Navigator window.
14
Download the archive in a convenient location on your computer and then
extract its content. After that you can start manual installation of all the
component. Here are the steps:
1. Identify your "Application Data" folder.
First you need to locate your Application Data folder of the MT4/MT5. To do
this, go to the File menu in the MT4/MT5 platform and click on "Open Data
Folder" (check out the image below).
15
2. Place your robot files in the right location.
First thing to do is to open the MQL4 folder (MQL5 for MT5), which is in the
“Application Data” folder (which you already see). The next steps are very easy:
▪ Place your “IntellyTraderEA_v1.0.ex4” file in the “Experts” folder inside
the “MQL4” folder. For MT5 terminal place “IntellyTraderEA_v1.0.ex5”
file in the “Experts/Advisors” folder inside of “MQL5” folder.
▪ Place all “.set” files in the “Presets” folder inside the “MQL4” folder
(“MQL5” for MT5).

==== Time Management Settings ====
These settings have been specially developed to help traders avoid certain hour
periods during the trading week when the Forex market behaves more
unpredictable.

helps optimizing the Time Management system. Here is how you can use
it. During the optimization set start value 0, end value 23 and the step 1.
You can optimize only one day per optimization. For example you want
to optimize the forbidden hours for Monday, you have to disable other
days bay settings TuesdayTrading=false ... to ... FridayTrading=false. At
the end of the optimization the tester will show you the best hours for
trading on Monday. You can add the bad hours in the parameter
MondayForbiddenHours separated by comma, for example: 1,4,6.
▪ MondayTrading: true/false - enable or disable trading on Monday

from the MetaTrader history center: click Tools -> History Center, or press the
"F2" key of the keyboard. In the list, find the currency pair that you wish to
back-test and double click to expand it. Click "1 Minute (M1)" and then click
"Download". When the download process is finished, double click on "5
Minutes (M5)” and "15 Minutes (M15)" to convert the M1 data (repeat this for
the rest of the time frames). Close the "History Center" window. Restart the
MT4 terminal in any case. Check the below image!
To open the "Strategy Tester" window click the "Strategy Tester" button of the
MetaTrader menu, or press "Ctrl+R" on the keyboard. In the "Strategy Tester"

chose M15 timeframe, chose the method "Every tick ...", as shown below. Click
"Start" to start the back-test.

The back-test by "Every tick" is the most precise, but it is very slow. If you wish
to save time you can run the back-test on M1 timeframe by "Open price only
..." method and this will be correct too.
