STEP 1: Open MT5 Data Folder

Check where to place the files

MT5 menu: File → Open Data Folder

Windows: C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\{xxx}\

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/net.metaquotes.wine.metatrader5/...

VPS: The same steps apply to the MT5 on your remote connection

2

STEP 2: Place files

Place the contents of the unzipped file into the designated folders

Destination (under the MQL5 folder)File
MQL5/Experts/MEGAMAX_EA.mq5 (v3.4 ★ the only one)
MQL5/Presets/11 .set files (MEGAMAX_XAUUSD.set, etc.; optional)
MQL5/Profiles/Templates/12 .tpl files (MEGAMAX_XAUUSD.tpl, etc. + default)

💡 Just copy the zip's structure as-is into the MQL5 folder

3

STEP 3: Compile (.mq5 → .ex5)

Build in MetaEditor

  1. MT5 menu: Tools → MetaQuotes Language Editor (or F4)
  2. Double-click Experts/MEGAMAX_EA.mq5 in the Navigator on the left → F7
  3. → MEGAMAX_EA.ex5 is generated automatically (confirm "0 errors" in the log)
4

STEP 4: Enable AlgoTrading

Settings to allow automated trading

  • MT5 top-right toolbar: click the "Algo Trading" button → turns green
  • Menu: Tools → Options → Expert Advisors
  • ✅ Check Allow Algo Trading
  • ✅ Check Allow DLL imports (just in case)
5

STEP 5: Attach MEGAMAX EA to a single chart (trades 11 pairs)

Just drag one onto a single chart and it processes all 11 pairs internally

Features (Multi-Symbol Single EA)

  • You only need to open one chart (e.g., GOLD,H1)
  • Drag MEGAMAX_EA onto that single chart → it processes 11 pairs (GOLD/EURUSD/GBPUSD/USDJPY/EURJPY/GBPJPY/CADJPY/NZDJPY/AUDUSD/USDCAD/USDCHF) simultaneously inside
  • Unaffected by the MT5 "Algo Trading auto-off on chart symbol change" setting (zero symbol changes)
  • SymbolSuffix=AUTO auto-detects the broker-specific suffix (XM = none, Exness = "m," etc.)
  • Automatic fallback from XAUUSD to GOLD (XM support)
  • Per-pair optimal parameters are built into the EA (.set files are a redundant fallback)

🛡 v3.4 Risk Management Features (enabled by default)

  • UseFridayClose: auto-closes all MEGAMAX positions at 22:00 Friday → avoids weekend-gap risk from holding over the weekend
  • UseEquityStop: auto-closes all positions at 30%+ floating loss against balance → caps losses during crashes
  • Early cut (built-in): force-closes lot1 if it moves ATR×0.3-0.5 against you within 3-5 bars of entry → suppresses DD
  • Hold timeout (built-in): force-closes all positions after 48-240 bars (per pair) → avoids holding floating losses long term
  • UseNewsFilter (OFF): option to avoid entries at 13/14/15:00 (around NY economic releases)
  1. Open any single chart (e.g., GOLD,H1 or EURUSD,H1)
  2. Drag Navigator → Expert Advisors → MEGAMAX_EA onto that chart
  3. Parameters dialog → leave SymbolSuffix = AUTO → OK
  4. Check the following log in the Terminal → Experts tab:
    [AUTO-SUFFIX] Detected: '' (e.g., EURUSD)
    [INIT OK] [0] XAUUSD ... [10] USDCHF
    === MEGAMAX MULTI EA v3.4 startup complete: 11/11 pairs ===
  5. Trade evaluation starts for all 11 pairs (each pair's trades occur on that pair)

💡 Persistence: even if you close MT5, MEGAMAX EA is auto-restored on next launch (MT5's default profile-saving feature)

* Cleaned up 2026-05-28: the old MEGAMAX_MULTI_EA / MEGAMAX_LAUNCHER are deprecated and consolidated into this single file (MEGAMAX_EA.mq5)

6

Verify Operation

  • MT5 Terminal → Experts tab:
    [OK] XAUUSD H1 startup complete + MEGAMAX EA + MEGAMAX_XAUUSD.tpl applied and similar log entries appear
  • The smiley face in the top right of each chart is smiling (😊) = the EA is running
  • MEGAMAX_EA is shown next to the currency pair in the top right of each chart
  • Trade tab: when the Asia Range Breakout condition is met, a position opens about once every few days to a few weeks

TROUBLESHOOTING

🛠 Troubleshooting

Q1. Charts don't open after running the Launcher

The broker's symbol names may have a suffix (.a / .ecn / _pro, etc.). Set the Launcher input SymbolSuffix to ".a" etc. and restart.

Q2. "Symbol not found" error

Right-click in the MT5 Market Watch panel → "Show All" → make the needed currency pairs visible. Pairs your broker doesn't offer can be skipped.

Q3. The EA doesn't trade / the smiley is 😞

Check that "Algo Trading" in the top right is green / check that the EA input "Allow automated trading" is true / insufficient margin ($5,000 recommended)

Q4. Template-application failure log

Check that the .tpl files are correctly placed in MQL5/Profiles/Templates/. As a fallback, MEGAMAX_default.tpl is attempted.

Q5. Insufficient-lot error (NotEnoughMoney)

The lot is too large for your balance. Change to LotMode=FIXED + FixedLot=0.01, or lower the Risk%.
